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.

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...

When you say Carribean investment do you mean from Charles Jennings our 2nd largest shareholder who is a fan of the club but based in Cayman islands?

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...

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...

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...

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 si...

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.

Over 900 tickets sold as of this evening, going to be over a thousand of us there so I hope the team turn up.

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.

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.

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...

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...

Just been told we've sold out of tickets for Saturday, club are apparently asking for more.

3,500 home fans - utterly pitiful. This town doesn't deserve this great set of lads

Lowest home crowd for a long time fans have given up after recent results but some optimism going into the last game should see a decent away following Saturday.

The majority of fans won't travel on coach, seems a bit unfair to do this, better to put money behind the bar at the ground so fans can have a beer or two. Seems a bit unfair to do this...many fans will be driving or simply may not have any desire to have a beer or two that early in the day... :D :...

After last night I am tempted to go, is it all ticket and what is the away end capacity as presumably we will take a good following.

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.

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...

MM leaving a bad thing, the evidence suggests yes as recruitment dropped off considerably.

Another day and another post when Robin speaks for others . I did point this out on a previous post and his inconsistency of principles. This is a Forum of opinions but claiming to speak for others should be discouraged. What a weird statement. Are you suggesting I am speaking for others or are yoi...

I heard the club were looking for a new commercial manager with the role having been vacant for a year now. This is the pace they operate on. Not sure a Director of Football would upset Clarke as he had one at both Bristol Rovers and Port Vale but it's important that role works well with him. Also ...

This is precisely what I mean. All season on social media we've seen "Sack the board", "Get Bloxham out", etc, etc... But none of these people have the slightest clue about what would happen if the board resigned en masse. The anti-Bloxham stuff is boring as well. As I said on a...

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. Would anyone have known the names of prior board members before they were appointed apart from those close to them? I'm not ducking your question but you know ...

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...

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.

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.

Good effort from the players today, we are down but it's been obvious for sometime. I thought Ben Williams was superb today, easilly man of the match before going off injured.

Tuesday could get quite interesting if the worst happens there are going to be a lot of angry fans and it's clear the chairman is now centre of attention. I wonder if he will show his face at all.

Thanks for sharing Jaimie.

So very well said!
