Re: Liam Ravenhill
Strange situation and one I cannot ever remember that our season is effectively based on a throw of the dice by the manager in waiting to the last minute to bring in the quality players the team clearly needs. Get them and we should be ok, don’t get them and we will really struggle. Only worry for ...

Re: Rival Watch
Even Alfreton have made a couple of good striker signings. James Hanson & Dayle Southwell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I tried to persuade Dayle Southwell to sign for us when I bumped into him the other week…he’s mates with Will Hatfield from their Guiseley days. He was still at King’s Lynn ...

Re: Stevie Mardenborough scores winner at Anfield
In his final season for Darlo when he played as a striker I think he was brilliant to watch. Remember away wins at Shrewsbury and Scarborough when he looked unplayable. And then we sold him for next to nothing. I think he is a really underrated Darlo player . . Hence my username. Hello mate, was wo...

Re: New kit manufacturer
The Europa hooped version at the moment is not that shabby (I've tried inserting the link below). At the end of the day it's about what kit deals are financially right for the club and if this is better than the current deal with Puma then so be it. :thumbup: https://www.kitlocker.com/products/joma...

You do see this revisionist version of the reason for the goal a lot on Twitter. Mainly from people who equate Peter Shilton's political beliefs with the fact that he was at fault for the hog goal and not the bloke who punched the ball into the net, or the match officials who all missed it. Look at ...

The hooped kit looks particularly good I think. One of the best we have had and will buy next season.

The only depressing thing about this whole debate is rea...
