Tom Denton at Guiseley at the moment. If we want a big lump up front he's surely worth a look?
He is 34 though. Can't see Gowling going for him at that age.

Re: POLL: Mid-Season Boost the Budget?

I mean, if you don't want to contribute you don't have to, but if other people want to why stop them? Was that aimed at me? Based on my answer of "no"? Aimed at anyone who doesn't want another BTB You know my opinion, I don't think it's a great idea to have a mid season BTB after just having a reco...

Re: Mid league boost the budget

Everyond did their bit earlier in the year, but for those who can afford to chuck some more money in, set it up and let us contribute.
We are the owners after all, and JG needs some new players. I'll be in for £100 as I don't want us relegated.

Assuming the outgoing Management Team are still being paid for the duration of their contracts, I wonder what reorganisation of budgets will have to take place to pay for the new one. It’s hard to see where reductions in costs could be implemented, or where extra revenues could be found.

We Can Still Reach Play-offs Ginge.

There are 2 play-off spots still to play for and we can still reach 67 points. First we have to win next Saturday, a 1-0 will do. So we end up with 67points and goal difference of 8. Next both Scarborough and Buxton have to lose, then they both end up with 67 points and inferior goal difference to u...

Re: Farsley v Darlo

Latest statement from the club is that we have received a severe warning for the incident at Farsley. It seems that the swift action of the club in routing out the troublemaker and banning them for 2 years, has been a factor in us not receiving a harsher punishment. Apparently still awaiting a deci...

People go on about our run not being great but there are a few times in the mix on similar runs. All the more frustrating for me.

On the pitch it could be progress in a cup competition, or a top half finish, or getting to a playoff. In truth, though I don't think doing well is purely on the pitch either. I think that doing well could be measured with increased attendances or increasing DFCSG members, or increasing diverse par...

Struggle to see past Fylde just in terms of resources - but Chester do have a far more favourable run in.

And a very good manager.
They certainly do. Only tough match they have is on April Fool's Day away at Blackwell Meadow.

I really thought Kings Lynn would have pulled away from us by now. I think Fylde are favourites to get automatic at this point. Fylde and King's Lynn have to play each other twice.
