Re: Brackley v Darlington

The number of mistakes that have been made over the years is frightening considering the money lost stupidly because of lack of knowledge/understanding of the laws. Forgive my ignorance - but what money have we lost due to lack of understanding of laws? If you need a long winded wordage then fine! ...

Re: Asante

Oh well, just another goal today for Jacob Hazel, that’s 5 goals & 3 assists for him in 13 appearances at Boston. Meanwhile Akwasi Asante sits out another week on big wages. He is our 007 at the moment. 0 Goals 0 Assists 7 Appearances Criminal. May be correct, but what is the point in going on and ...

Re: Brackley v Darlington

Steve might be able to push us three places up the table, it's possible, but if we go down the ramifications could mean trouble. I'm thinking; Board resignations? Watson leaving? A possible attempted coup by Gray :o If we go down both boards need to take full responsibility for this and heads shoul...

Re: Brackley v Darlington

Let’s be honest if we cannot score against the crap sides we were never going to score against Brackley. 2 away games in a week, no threat and barely made either keeper get a sweat on kind of sums us up. A midfield of Platt and Hatfield will create nothing. Not knocking either of them as both give ...

Re: Asante

My patience is definitely wearing thin if he's contracted for next season. If that's the case it's a ridiculous decision. Had he come in fit, playing regularly and scoring goals that would put a different slant on it. Sure I read his contract is this season and next when he signed. I am sorry but i...

If money is tight, then surely the attacking options are far more important than the defensive ones.

Of course we are not going to give in but let’s be realistic here, we probably need to win 10 out of 19 games. We don't need 30 points. We need 8 wins and then some draws along the way. Just as hard to see it happening mind, not sure we are able to be unbeaten never mind win. Can't help but feel we...

What I liked best about the interview was that when Ray brought up a BTB, he said it would be good, but the best thing fans could do would be to get behind the team and support them.
Thank God his first words were not begging for money, but about togetherness.

Blackwell Meadows has been a curse. A rushed decision that has been a millstone around our necks.

Re: How is this being paid for?

Funny how Armstrong was given a two year deal and then had his budget cut, only to be sacked and his successor given the money he wasn’t allowed to spend. Poor form from the board that. Armstrong had enough credit in the bank from previous seasons (cup runs, tv games, player sales) to be given ever...

Yes Gray was in the crowd, fair play to hm turning up after the boards press release. He was looking very relaxed and happy to chat with fans.
Fair play? Or is he still agitating to get fans on his side?
I have no doubt whatever that he still knows what is written on here and other outlets.
