Anyone know what’s happened to the Quaker retail unit I noticed it wasn’t in its normal place at Blackwell?
It’s undergoing a refurb

You could either download it to a smartphone or I’ll just look it up on the database. The former would be easier if possible as it’ll be a bit quicker

I’d expect if no further incomings in defence then we’ll start with the 5 at the back that played the second half against Telford.

Re: Experienced centre half’s.

Yeah I would agree with that. McMahon just about managed it albeit at non league level, I guess that’s the sort of scenario I was thinking of. He’s maybe hoping that come Jan there are some injuries somewhere and he can step in. Trouble is he doesn’t want to travel out of the area yet wants to play ...

Perhaps Darlo are the one club who could rekindle Wheater's love for the game. Sad indictment of the game today that he ever lost it. This would explain why he seems to have gone off the radar. Maybe part time football would be better for him than the demands of the full time game. However if he ha...

Re: Andrew Nelson

Beck in the 16-17 season was amazing. The season after when he was 'ineffective', Gray clearly played him when he was injured and our policy was to lump long balls to him. Unforgettable was the South Shields match when the instructions were 'Give it to Becky'. He gives any team an extra dimension i...

It’s all a bit of a fallacy, Nuneaton were “full time” on probably less than our budget at one stage but had a team full of kids. Spennymoor probably have one of the best “part-time” budget. It means little tbh. We could go full time next season with the budget we have but the senior pros who have a...

:D The problem for Alun is that he needs to make signings now, but it's very hard for him to know what his budget will be, when btb runs to the end of May. Perhaps the club should look to run btb in future years through April? True about not knowing final budget till end of May, and I appreciate it ...

Good to see the players taking advantage of the community testing.

Its a shame but it's been on the cards.
The squad will be broken up but on the pitch we weren't great. I presume Nicky Hunt will retire and a few others will go.
I would expect that a more likely outcome if we were forced to play on and had to make some significant cost savings to do so

Re: League restarts 6 February

Reading this. If the clubs who don't want to null and void in Step 2 are clever about it they should vote against resolution 1. That would make that resolution passing with 75% unlikely. It would then require 75% in favour of null and void for resolution 4 which again is unlikely given most Step 1 ...

I imagine 28 days is a standard rule they have to adhere to but once all votes have been submitted they will be able to shut that window. It’s not in the interest of any club to lengthen proceedings so I’d expect we’ll get an answer a fair bit quicker

Re: David Johnson : We are in a sad position

I could see the argument for FT players not using community testing and having testing paid for by the club but given our players are PT and most have other jobs why shouldn’t they utilise the community testing just as you or I would?
