Re: Asante

There maybe a possibility that Asante may come good, no one seems to be considering that. With his few appearances (4 starts and 3 subs) in his first 7 games and no sign of him in the subsequent 5 games, I think it might take a Lazarus size miracle for that to happen. But you are right miracles do ...

Re: Kevin Luff

One thought. Who owns the equipment that Kev uses? It’s a mixture of mine, fan funded and club purchased. During the Quaker TV period / pandemic I did suggest the club start to pick up some of the new gear purchases as then it would be theirs. Mainly for future planning and continuity, like this si...

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.

Re: Kevin Luff

Great respect to everything Kev has done. Quality has been above and beyond what many clubs could supply. And turning up for match after match for all those years has got to be worthy of some sort of distinguished service medal. Well done and thanks for all the hard work and the memories you have re...

Re: Asante

Just pulling this thread back to the subject of Asante and whether we are getting value for money, it seems to be accepted that he is a player who has had a poor fitness record and that we should not be surprised that he has been unable to make the squad for four successive matches. It is said that ...

Now that Gowling has left Asante seems to have stepped into his shoes as number one hate figure. It seems there always has to be someone.

Re: Darlington v Hereford

With 18 games to go the team could go 6 wins, 6 draws, and 6 defeats and make 49 points, which should be enough. After yesterday's game, can we believe that doubling our wins tally is possible?

Re: Darlington v Hereford

If Asante was fit, a partnership with Main could be very effective, because a big man up front alongside a nippy striker can be an ideal combination. I don't think I've even seen him in the box in the 2 and a half months here, and he has managed to amble through about 8 or 10 matches during that ti...

It would be best spent on tying down Asante for the first half of next season. We don't want someone poaching our number one asset for peanuts at the end of this season.

Re: Darlington V Scunthorpe

No hint of a pitch inspection from the club in the reminder just posted on Facebook. Whilst the coming storm is likely to make attending the game a very uncomfortable experience this will not be a reason to call the game off. If the ground is playable now it is probably going to stay that way for mo...

Just seen that the site says that the rules have been broken.

If he can be arsed now that his mate has got the well deserved bullet. From what I have heard others say, and ob...

Re: Boost The Budget January 2024

I see the usual late surge has started as btb reaches £23405, which is nearly 80% of the target. I still feel that the £30k target will be reached. :thumbup: Whilst I do hope you are correct that a late surge has started I think the target is still quite a way off at more than £5,000.

Re: Southport

The big question with Asante is whether he will be able to contribute more as time goes by. When Gowling signed him in November, he said all he now needed was to get up to full speed with match sharpness and some time to bed in. He said Asante would bring goals, great link-up play, a good aerial an...

Total now £16,782 and looks to have stalled a little bit. I've just had a look at the Official website, and no mention of the BTB on the home page.
