Fine with talking to others but if the Robins Trust, who I thought were part of the Club board, are not being kept up to speed this is what has me a little concerned.

Would have though so, he's 73 now so unless he's short of cash I wouldn't have thought a new job would be high on his agenda. On the subject of 'puff pieces' it woul...

I've heard a few things, let's see if they come true but the return of Moore as DoF and George Lloyd potentially to another league one side not too far away seem to be doing the rounds. Worryingly nothing much on the incoming player side. The possible return of Micky Moore is a baffling turn of eve...

Re: Contracts latest
Good news on those two. If we can get them to sign quickly along with Pett seemingly staying on, that would give us a pretty solid nucleus of a squad to tackle League 2 next season. Also interesting that DC is still very much leading this process so perhaps talk of him walking away are a little prem...

Problem is, Burton could potentially get 6 points.

We could easily get less than 3 points - and that leaves us h...
