Re: Mark Beck

He’s gone. Still nothing official from either club.Are you sure?. If he does go, good luck has had a cracking start to the season and scored some lovely goals and well done putting himself and the club in the shop window. Squad size were similar to other clubs (blyth 20, Scarboro 23) on paper we ha...

Re: Lambert attracting attention

A move to Cambridge Utd would be a good level and certainly more stable (financially) club then Hpool or colchester who have huge debts. I think a few other clubs will take a look but dont believe our promotion chase is over as AA mentioned if/ when he goes as it would free up funds for a few loan s...

Re: JOE LEESLEY

Disappointing but certainly not DJ or boards fault the choice or decision is with AA and how he spends the budget, because Leesley played so many games and had an immediate impact it feels a bigger loss; unfortunately most of those on the bench on Saturday cannot come close to such an impact and tha...

FA Trophy Alfreton

Note big man Rhead suspended for Saturdays game, will the other big man replace him. Note Jordan Thewlis signed from Evenwood Utd and likely to face us. 1-0 win with no injuries will do nicely

Re: Durham Challenge Cup

We do not have a reserve team and recent months have been fairly congested. Maybe one for the U19's in the future if allowed.

six games in 17 days, four of which were long away days, hats of to the lads fitting in work and families get through this one and hopefully a few can rest and recover after next week. Not sure Lawlor will be recovered in time and possibly kept for Saturday if big Wheats not around.

Haha no I'm not who you might think I am. For all his faults he was much more eloquent. PorterDFC, if Hazel was played instead of Beck it would mean Beck had been dropped. That's clearly obvious whether you agree with Hazel having a chance or not. For the record I'm not advocating Beck can never be...

Like most happy with a point before the game and disappointed at the end but more for the few hundred fans that turned up maybe for a while and may float away again and with it extra gate receipts. Probably the best first half the team played for a while and if as AA says there is a little more to c...

2 year deal for Charman.

I admire his honesty, because it takes courage to admit you have made a mistake. There is no substitute for being happy in life, and if his heart is telling him this is not the right thing for him, he is correct to come clean and move on. Of course he risks looking foolish, but no point in ploughin...

Not sure it would cost us anything extra putting on floodlights surely its included in our fixed charges with rugby club ?any extra fees for services (water/sewage /elec) the rugby club would have to pay, unless we got screwed on that fee along with food, drink and parking?

I would hang fire on signing him yet. Possibly Marcus injury more serious? Mondal although an attacking midfielder maybe moved on if someone could afford him, Rivers better out on loan to try and find the goal with call back

Re: Darlington v Banbury Aug 20th

We could really do with finding a Jake Cooper type on loan so we don't have to rush either of the casualties back before their time resulting in a potential breakdown and an even longer time out. I assume Emery is not ready even though he's not a kid. Never played at this level and would be a tough...

Wonder if the Banbury fan in the yellow shirt who dives over the fence when the first goal goes in will get a ban. That would make it a Banbury Fan Ban 🤣
hopefully he will come forward and volunteer his name and serve his ban without the club having to take further action.

I went to the open training session yesterday and they had the team photo before getting into training. They had two lads in the photo that didn’t have a name on the back of their shirts.
