Yes, it's that time again - Season Preview and Predictions! After going into our first season back in the fifth tier a little bit in the dark last summer, this time around we're hoping our knowledge has got at least a little bit better as we dive into the runners and riders in this season's National League campaign.
In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we chat about some of the main contenders for promotion this season, who will struggle near the bottom and who is destined for mid-table obscurity, alongside United's overall chances and our infamously bad predictions.
Do we all think United can bounce back to the EFL at the seocnd attempt? Has Hartlepool's transfer activity propelled them into title contenders? Will the newly promoted sides cope or struggle? And will Dan predict Barrow to be relegated for the fifth season in a row?
This is the first of a bumper week of episodes ahead of the opening fixture against Worthing - keep an eye out for more content throughout the week!
Lots discussed including:
๐ Title and play-off contenders
๐ข Who is destined for the drop?
๐ Our expectations for United
๐ฎ Our NL and CUFC predictions

We've had a few people asking how they can contribute financially towards the pod over the last few seasons - we do this podcast because we love our club and are happy to do it for free, but if you'd like to make a contribution that can help towards hosting, online studio or equipment costs, we would be extremely grateful.
It would go a long way to help us keep providing content for the Blues fanbase across the world for the 2024-25 season!
