What about the extra 350 that were meant to be coming to see Gary Roberts?

The extra 2,000 home fans at King's Lynn won't be seen again! 😳🤔 I don't doubt that, but we got nowhere near that figure v York with several hundred Tranmere fans in. I think we would if we were in King's Lynn's position. Let's not read too much into that one attendance.
King's Lynn have done remarkably well though. No doubt they're getting money from somewhere but I don't remember anyone talking them up pre-season, after they only scraped into this league through the playoffs. Suppose they have a massive catchment area and no major clubs around them, so they have potential to become a big club.
I've often thought that once you get below the Conference, there isn't a huge difference between one league and the next. Good teams at Level 7 and 8 could probably cope at Conf North/South level, with Royston being a good example.

All I wanted to see this season was improvement. Barring a real collapse (which I don't rule out, this is Chester after all!), I think we've had that. Winning the league looks a stretch, but if we can finish in the top three we've got a real chance of promotion. You really don't have to be that good to go up from this division.
A big problem last season was the away record. Royston aside, we've definitely become more solid away from home this season. If you can draw away and win at home, you'll be there or thereabouts.
I get that a 0-0 draw at Leamington isn't cause to celebrate, but perhaps the fact that we lost there last season is an indication that we are moving in the right direction.

I agree and think we have to be honest and admit we are NOT Champions quality. With that in mind, we do still lie in the play-offs. If we can stay there or thereabouts and hit a bit of form towards the end of the season I don't see why we can't go up. To do that, I feel we have to make a few signings. If the club doesn't strengthen the squad then I think we can look at another season in the NLN.

Before Leamington I looked at where our 1.83 PPG would have got us elsewhere- we’d be joint top of the National League. Joint-second of NLS.
Stockport last season in NLN, third after 25 games, on 44 points, 4 off Chorley at the top. We’re on 45 after 25, fourth and 12pts off top, so I think it says more about King's Lynn being outrageously good.

I've no idea who would be better but I can you we won't get promoted with this pair. Maybe people like you should go to all the away games and then come on here. Most on here just like to spout shite but don't follow home and away.

If you have no idea who would be better then don’t say daft stuff about the managers then they’re the right people to take us forward and have experience of winning this league. We’re not even doing bad at all just people like you think we should win every game 5-0

To all those advocating a change of manager to get out of this division (understandable if we were fourth bottom) just remember, teams can go down as well as up.

On the face of it a 0-0 away from home isn't a bad result, but, honestly, for anyone who wasn't there it was tortuous. That's not having a go at the managers, or where we are in the league, just a statement of fact. It's baffling, because we are clearly capable of much better and Leamington were there for the taking,,,just lost their best player and leaking goals. Yet we managed one shot on target all game. No shortage of effort, just a real lack of quality. It's the sort of game we should be taking by the scruff of the neck but that never happened and they finished the stronger. We had a flurry of corners early on, but at no stage were we dominant even for a spell of a few minutes. That's what worries me most about this team. It also makes it hard to generate any atmosphere...must have been 300 Chester there but felt very flat. Was hoping for a better reaction after Royston. Going forward (i.e. Next season) I think we need to have a close look at the midfield which is basically made up of ageing players, who are on the way down. I feel we lack a dominant figure, a young, fit, six footer with a big physical presence. I hope we are scouring the leagues below, and don't just go down the route of bringing in old pros.
