Re: Leamington new ground

Cost of £13.8m, funded through Government investment zone (I don't know how this works) to Warwick District Council, Leamington then buy the ground for 450K and then give back to WDC.

Re: Rushall v Darlington

I think three wins will be enough to finish above Farsley or Rushall, but can we win three? For the first time in weeks I'm thinking we are more likely to go down than stay up. I doubt we'll catch any of those team 4 points ahead, we only have 5 games left and lots of teams in there still have to pl...

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?

There was a suggestion floated on here a few years ago that Northumbrian water would allow building on top of the pipe as long as access hatches were installed. Don't know if that is the case.

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?

Focus for now is to stay up and if we do can focus on IMO helpful questions raised by CC. As fan owned the only way we can move on is people through the gate, a potential cup run and more difficult more commercial revenue and sponsorship. Asking more BTB is more problematic as I think we have reach...

Re: Points deduction

These have ranged from racism, pitch invasions, general violent disorder and also pyros. Yes, the decision to close the ground was made becaue Bury had seven rec...

Mad when you think we managed to lose twice to the worst team in the league. Should have been an easy 6 points.
Bishops Stortford have got 35% of their points for this season from us.

I listened on DFR. Didn’t this goalie make two good saves at the end of the match? I think from Salkeld.
Not sure I'd describe one from Salkeld as a save as much as he picked up a shot...
He also dived to push away a strong shot from Salkeld late on, a good save.

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

Surely to make the fan-owned model work you need a minimum degree of talent, skills and enthusiasm among your fanbase. We want a fan owned club but we don't actually have any fans capable of running the club. Seems like there is a flaw in the plan.

When you are expecting two players who are usually full backs to supply the ammo for a front 1 then you get the result that idea deserves. Absolute desperation excepting that to work.
Full backs should be able to cross a ball.
