I hope this works out (obviously we all do). Based on our experience of seeing people appointed to the role then it'll be interesting to see how long he lasts. On LinkedIn, he's put the following under his current role description: "To lead ,create and execute a strategic commercial strategy a...

the latest edition is a great listen, everyone speaks very well and can tell there's drive, passion and great ideas. it seems 99.9% of the current boards time and resource is spent making sure we have a playing squad to compete in league two, this in itself is a big task for a part time board in a s...

if building a new stand is out of the question can't they just revamp the current one?

It was talked about a while ago I think but the ideal place could be by the racecourse. Loads of parking, could be used for joint events such as concerts but would depend who ended up owning the ground as we wouldn’t want to be a tenant again else we lose revenue. The racecourse is very much a 'sta...

So is there 'less' pressure on the club now to have to find money now we are in league two as costs have reduced?

I would like to know what the difference is in commercial revenue from being in league 1 to league 2?

longmover

I'll give him less than a year before he's gone.

Don't think its going anywhere, just think of all those late goals that small prem clubs will score against the big boys that can't be ruled out because of VAR. The horse has well and truly bolted on this one and not coming back. someone on the BBC's page made an excellent comment about the match of...

I've had to grit my teeth on this and that fact that derby have had their praises sung by all for their promotion not taking into consideration they've basically done a £uck you all!! having nearly gone out of business, they'll be back in league one in no time after chasing the prem dream. Big clubs...

any chance of a 'like' button or other emojis that can be added to a post, rather than having to keep responding with text when a simple 'like' or 'thumbs up' 'applaud' will suffice.

thanks

Torquay have said goodbye to interim manager Aaron Downes after he steered them away from a potentially catastrophic relegation. Here's the new owners novel way to introduce former Argyle favourite Paul Wotton as the new manager. Also featuring their new Football Advisor Neil Warnock. https://twitt...

the right size club for him, will probably do well, playoffs a minimum.

always remember a video of city fans on a bus and they make a joke about a "collection" for CTFC and passed a bag around which was then spat in by various supporters.

wouldn't want anything to do with them.

what is the official rationale for VAR being used in these three games?

genuine question, is there money in the Irish Leagues?

longmover

Like the way Sky now seem to "care" about the EFL now they've increased competition for the premier league

Pretty grim reading

The trust have pulled a blinder here which should cause a few red faces amongst the board, The board need help and hopefully full collaboration with the trust can get us all pointing and aiming in the right direction.

One man is being forgotten in all of this: Alfie May, he kept us in the league one with his 20+ goals a season, no Alfie no more league one.

longmover

I seem to remember our attendances were good when we pulled our finger out in the national league winning season.

the state of some of the pitches in league two come the end of the season (from watching highlights)

, we should get three points given to us just for our playing surface.

because the premier league only want them and the championship to exist in England.

i don't think we need Harry Pell for anything, he sems to have turned into a bigger circus clown.

Barnsley are looking for a manager, logistically a good fit for DC.

pretty sure 1000+ away weren't uncommon in the late 90's, or am I misty eyed on that?

longmover

When was the last time CTFC took 1000+ to a league away game?

longmover

what's the story here, injured or on the naughty step?

longmover

I'll believe that when I see it.

Anyone know who the clubs are at our level who own their own grounds? It's murky but I understood Derby and Reading did own their grounds but that was moved to companies under their former/current owners. Portsmouth, Bolton, Lincoln, Burton, Northampton, Cambridge and Wycombe own their grounds base...

yes, the late 90's there was one don't think it lasted too long though. There must be someone on here that still has a copy or two?

Possibly but I believe Ipswich and Plymouth received quite a bit of US based investment before Wrexham became a thing. I can see the logic with someone like Ipswich, they come invest £20 million and if that money get's them to the Premier league they make a huge return. If it fails it's a relative ...

longmover

it would be a nice gesture from the club that would show some thanks for a quite awful season and doing their bit to get as many supporters to a vital game.

ST's go on sale soon so maybe a good bit of PR for the club (if they want it).

longmover

in my time supporting CTFC (early 90's) I've never purchased a programme.

just thought you'd all like to hear that.

This was brought up at the forum that the majority of EFL clubs now have American investment however whilst not explicitly stated the indication was that this was not something which would be welcomed here. I do fear we could be left behind without it as even clubs like Wycombe, who are a similar s...
