Re: Darrell Clarke after Stevenage defeat
Hearing rumours we might be about to appoint a Director of Football and it's a face we all know. Unsure how that fits with keep Clarke for next season but I believe he worked with one at Port Vale and Bristol Rovers. Hopefully a bit of positive news on a really low day for the club.

Re: Stevenage point of view
That has to be the most predictable interview ever seen :lol: (no dig at you for posting triggo) I may look a fool on Saturday afternoon but I think we have the most favourable fixture. Stevenage lose and they get clapped off for a great season, Vale or Fleetwood lose and they risk getting booed an...

Re: Lincoln City
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...

Re: Lincoln City
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 l...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Peterborough United
There is a player called Josh Stokes at Bristol City (signed from Aldershot and loaned back) that could be one for us to keep an eye on for next season. Wasn't he pretty much the hottest property in Non-league this season? I remember hearing he's a real prospect and Bristol City paid good money for...

Re: Lincoln City
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.

We have sold almost a thousand tickets without any free travel but come on a couple of coaches costs max £1000 for the day that's half a weeks wages for a player.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Peterborough United
I'm not Nuttall bashing but we need a more mobile physical presence. Someone like Odejayi could do for us in the past it's the one thing we really lack because Keena and Taylor don't offer that at all.

Re: See you at Stevenage!
I can't see us selling 1400 out so it should not matter. Hopefully we can get a good following though and get a result, it's do able if we play like the first sixty minutes yesterday and the first half on Saturday. Also please no more changes in formation stick to our best eleven and regular 3-5-2.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Peterborough United
It's definitely lacking and very noticeable how our midfield has improved when it's Bonds/Pett rather than Pett/Kinsella. Would love to see us add big powerful and pacy forward (similar to Jones for Posh) who can give us an outlet and let us play on the counter attack in the summer no matter which l...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Peterborough United
tbf to POSH they came into the game in the second half and dominated us, if they had managed to score I reckon we would have fallen apart. I can't agree with that they had two shots on target that I recall. They certainly improved in the last thirty minutes but we also sat back and didn't press. Do...

Re: Whatever happens…
Darrell has done amazing, I didn't think we could pull it off and despite all the off the field and some on field headwinds to still be in it going into the last game is a major achievement. Just win Saturday and leave no regrets.

Re: COE and or DOF
I don't think the issue was Mickey Moore going himself, so much as having no plan for when he did leave. At best, this was naive on the Board's part. At worst, reckless. We'd already had to increase his wage earlier in the season to keep him from going to Forest Green, so it was clear to a blind ma...

You keep banging on about it, but pray tell who takes over as leaders of the club. I see plenty of criticism and little by way of solution.

Re: tinker man and next season
It didn't sound to me like we had any player recruitment on-going for the summer, Clarke even said he'd make those decsions at the end of the season. Also he was clearly he would ideally not want any loans so I doubt we will see many next year if he is in charge. Either way we are clearly already be...

Re: Open Letter to the Board
So having a qualified solicitor who lots of fans feel isn't the right fit for the role is better then Bloxham also has no money and no connection with fans. I want this club in the best possible hands and I don't believe that's currently the case.

Re: Open Letter to the Board
I heard Andy Wilcox businesses were struggling hence the lack of cash investment. Snake oil salesman or not we had someone who had a connection with the fans which our current chairman does not. That might not be the most important thing but it can really matter in difficult times.

Why are we calling the manager tinkerman? Am I alone in thinking this is a little disrespectful for someone who has done one hell of a job despite a lot of hindrance from those above.
