Being a board member seems like a thankless task. I'd imagine 99% of supporters have no idea who the board are or their backgrounds or how much time they give for no remuneration (consider that this forum and regular Twitter posters are not representative of the +/- 4,000 who attend games regularly ...

DWx3

Indeed, who are these "disgruntled" fans and what planet are they living on? I keep hearing people talk about wanting to see a plan or understand what the board's ambitions are. I'd say their ambition is to make sure we're a well-run sustainable club regardless of what level we're at. Peop...

Just been looking at a few pics of our fans in the crowd on social media from that day. Hardly recognise any of them and I’ve been a regular since the late 1960’s. Sure we had around 600 in our end plus people like me and my mates who got in eventually but had to sit amongst the Rushden squad playe...

10,000 plaques at £20 profit? I'll tell you where I am... I'm out. Seriously though, these could be ideas implemented by the Robins Trust. Ideas are easy to come up with but action requires proper study into viability to make it work. I think even getting a few hundred plaques would be a lot. I can'...

Damn. That's sad news. I was introduced to him in a pub at a London match by Taxidave: "...and this guy you'll know as 'Cag'", he said. "DON'T TELL EVERYONE THAT!!" came the response. Pretty sure I met him under similar circumstances! I only recall a couple of brief conversation...

DWx3

One must be Dave Norton. Not sure about the other but it'll probably come to me later.

DWx3

I like the cut of his jib. The squad needs a massive trim and rebuild in terms of culture (as he puts it) to meet the short term aim of survival but also the more realistic medium term aim of challenging for promotion out of League Two next season.

DWx3

He was my first choice from the outset. The right fit given the size of the club, the realistic expectations of what we can achieve and his experience at this level and League Two should relegation happen. He's had to overcome personal tragedy recently which only makes me respect him more. The board...

DWx3

Another plug for the trust here. It's an absolute no brainer if you consider yourself a supporter. I can't think of a single reason NOT to join. A tenner a year is nothing. Consider it from the club's point of view. How seriously are they going to take the Trust if they only have, say, 500 members? ...

DWx3

I think one of the main reasons the old crest was replaced was that it was very difficult to print or embroider onto merchandise and therefore something more minimal was deemed more suitable. Nowadays any kid with a computer can design a decent logo so maybe it's time the club asked for some submiss...

DWx3

This is good news. Murry has made a considerable difference to the club over the years expecting nothing in return. This is well deserved and strengthens the club off the pitch.

It's only one week so you don't need to put up with the puns furlong.

People who are struggling mentally often become very good at hiding their problems and appearing to be 'fine' which I can imagine being more true in a professional masculine sport environment. Surely it's time that all clubs had a dedicated person in charge of player wellbeing. Just someone either e...

DWx3

This is a great idea! 88 was a few years before I started following CTFC but might well buy this regardless. The shirts I'd most love to see would be any of the Gulf Oil ones from the early to mid-90s. The all red with white sleeves (like Arsenal) and the stripes. Best of all, if you could do the Ch...

Far from it. Sports memorabilia is changing but it's far from dying.

Starting the panic thread now before someone else does. Sean Dyche sacked by Burnley. Will Big Sam take over til the summer while they court Michael Duff to take over in the Championship? Can't see them staying up but if they did then it reduces the likelihood of appointing Duff and attracting a man...

DWx3

Has to be Bashley for me. We took thousands that day.

DWx3

Excellent. Well done to all at the club. Moan all you want about the burgers but this is one hell of a club and a lesson to all those clubs who end up in financial dire straits.

DWx3

So I was driving to a record fair in Rome this afternoon and put 5Live on for the sport, as you do. They had a reporter (John Acres) at WR. He was waxing lyrical about what a lovely setting it was for an afternoon's football and gave a special mention to Dave, a season ticket holder in the main stan...

DWx3

The best way to approach this is to make a list of all clubs to have played league football since 1999 and also non league at some point in their history and then look at whether we ever played them pre 1999. For example, we must surely have played Salford at some point in our non-league history.

DWx3

Can't believe I missed this. The auction only had one bid and went for 50 quid!!! That's an absolute steal! If you can organise another shirt and promote it more widely via Twitter etc then I'm sure you'd get a lot more bids.

DWx3

I guess he's just neglected to edit LinkedIn to show that his employment at GRFC has finished. There's no way the two roles could be compatible as both clubs are after the same companies for their £££. Incidentally, he may have a kind of non-compete clause in his contract with GRFC to prevent him fr...

DWx3

This'll be him. It popped up on my feed. Welcome to the club, Tom Adams. https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasoadams/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I thought it was strange to appoint someone who'd have to relocate from the north so I'm not surprised that it didn't last. Head...

DWx3

Looking forward to defending my title. I assume my trophy is still in the post?

DWx3

I've suggested the club prints posters of the front cover and gets the squad to sign them as an extra money spinner. If they don't go ahead then I'm planning to get one done myself and then frame it to put on the wall (not gonna be signed though unfortunately). In these times, I think it's good to h...

DWx3

Don't worry, the racing puns might be annoying now but it's not furlong.

DWx3

I'm sad to announce that the club lost a lifelong supporter this week: my uncle, Harry Trapp. Harry was born in 1957 and grew up in Cheltenham. He went to St Benedicts school and then worked for local printing companies. He was one of the founding partners of In2Print who were the very first sponsor...

DWx3

Great stuff. Super quick to pay with ApplePay and download. Are there any plans to enable a subscription? I wanted to ask the same thing. £25 would be a fair price up front IMO. 23 league games plus an unknown number of cup games. In future, it could be offered as an add-on when you purchase a seas...

DWx3

Sorry, have you got the code to join the Nest league also?

DWx3

Thanks for this! I was gonna ask if any CTFC fans were in a league.

DWx3

Sign him up. Go get him Duffo and take SC with you so he can't say no.

DWx3

This is great. Got it saved to watch later. JW must be one of the nicest guys in football. Great to see him looking well.

DWx3

He now lives in Frampton Cotterell or as he calls it, Frampton.

1887 Red Army are a group of young lads who get p1ssed in the Sudeley before a game and generate a vocal atmosphere at the games, unfair to compare them with the Trust who are largely older fans looking at the long term stability of the club. What an incredibly immature, snobbish, self-righteous, d...

Supporters trusts have the power to play a valuable role representing supporters. We are fortunate that the trust's role so far has not been too involved thanks to the fact that we have never faced any serious crises on the level of Bury, Bolton etc etc. If the trust goes to the wall then we may not...
