Re: Asante

Johnson is known to be one of the biggest wind up merchants in non league football and yet his comments on the matter are being cited as "proof". Winding people up is literally what he spends 95% of his time doing he didn't lie, he just alluded to something which has been lapped up (exactly what he ...

Re: Asante

Put simply, why would he lie? There is no reason to whatsoever. Your 'tangent' was a history of lies and exaggerations by Johnson to provoke and / or protect his reputation. So why would he not. All he has done is his usual provocation. He's not actually said anything definitive he's said unbelieva...

We now need to get top 6 standard results to have any chance and to do that you have to score goals.
I'd say top half but guess that is difference between thinking 50 points should be enough and thinking we need 54 to stay up.

Both look equally unlikely unfortunately.

In practical terms it will be down to the CEO to approve.

Justin Donowa is available for loan, so I hear. Imagine what he could bring to the team if he was willing to come back.
Where would he live?

Didn't he have accomodation with John Woolnough last time he was here?

Are you expecting the board to intervene in transfer decisions? Not sure I expect the board collectively to be signing off on every transfer or contract to be honest. That would be quite inefficient.

Agreed Spenny currently look like one of the teams 'to beat', along with Bishop Stortford , Gloucester and King's Lynn. Could be a little depressing, but is it time for Ginge to start predicting, this time at the wrong end of the table? It is going to be hard not to reflect on the result on 23rd De...

Shame other results didn't quite go to plan today - Gloucester seem to be putting a run together so we might need to catch up with some other teams. Spennymoor are starting to get sucked in and their form seems to be horrible. We always had to catch up with Southport, Banbury and Rushall really. Ca...

Re: Boost The Budget January 2024

Our revenues without BtB were about the same.

There is some variance in rent but not that significant versus revenues and their staff salaries were more significant than ours.

Hard to look past our non playing staff being the outlier / big difference.

Torrential rain tonight, I'd be very surprised if the game goes ahead. It's also forecasting winds in excess of 50mph around 9pm.

Re: Southport

To have a realistic chance, we probably need a minimum of 30 points from 20 games, 1.5 per game. In other words we need to start performing like South Shields have for example in first half of the season! Not sure I agree with this. I think at most we need 28. I suspect if we perform like Farsley /...
