His instagram feed seems to suggest he was at Eastbourne tonight.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

I was trying to avoid that debate :lol:

For what it's worth, chanting about paedos = not terribly clever. I was more laughing at what a ridiculous way to get sacked it is.

Honestly though, we're desperate for strikers. It'd take Saunders out of the firing line. The guys a pro, he's more than capable at this level. If he'll sign for a few games, and put the work in, then it's a no brainer. It gives TW & AW more time to have a think about future signings and to assess to Saunders. I hope we get it done, personally.

Do we know if he actually signs for Lillestrom on the 1st of January? If he was around for a bit of January that'd be even better.

Which is exactly what a player who knows he's on his way anyway and couldn't care less would do.

He'd be another Scott Fenwick.

I'd rather give Harvey a run out and keep the money in the bank, that lad has worked his bollocks off - he's done fuck all.

Move along.

Yes, well when it first leaked, the story doing the rounds was that he was sacked for the video. I'm all for him making MG look like a dick, tbh.

I don't think putting Saunders in as a starter constantly, in a struggling team, is the solution to his development, but heck, off the bench, Martin would be a decent option if you went that way. Right now we don't have any options. Obviously, i wouldn't pay him a lot of money for it, but if it's a cheap, no contract deal, i'd be pretty happy.

He's going to play for free according to an early post.

I am pretty sure Darlington Albion aren't paying him £6k lets be honest.

I see Gray's now looking to sign Adam Dawson who was on loan with us. Been playing for York reserves and has left Tranmere. Didn't show a great deal here but, hey, it helps to stack up the numbers at York along with a defender they've just signed on loan. They must have one of the biggest squads in English football by now.

Seems like York are taking a massive gamble on going up this season the way Gray is recruiting, would love a glance at their payroll costs.

Not sure it's MG that comes out of it looking like a dick to be honest.

As for Saunders, at what point is he old enough to be a regular in the side? Frankly, if he's good enough, he should be playing. Our best hope for the future is to be a side that develops young talent - can only do that by giving them the game time needed. Need to trust them more than MG did.

is that Gary Martin "off of" York who should "of" known better when playing for Darlington Albion "off of" the Darlington Invitation League?
