He sounds like a villain from a Batman film

Just hope our Batman and Robin aren't Delboy and Rodney.
I would like it if they were.
We'll be millionaires this time next year !!!

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...

I say 0-0 featuring a worldie from Tommy Taylor - 50 years, Ed Johns and I might recall the same result when QPR with Rodney Marsh came to Feethams as league leaders in 1967. Mind you we had Yoggie and Joe Jacques on that night. I remember a 0-0 at their place about the same time in 1 of the worst ...

Talking of forwards, the mention of Curry brings back the question of his fitness to play. I think I had heard that he was due to be ready to play around now. Does anyone know what his current state of fitness is? Looking at him trying to run prior Scarboro game it appears the quality street had go...

Feels Like Gowling was possibly the right man but very much at the wrong time - an experiment to try when a team isn't in freefall. DJ has taken action and the two appointments have a very solid feel about it. Hoping Steve W keeps it simple for the players. Heard on the radio yesterday that the bir...

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. We'd have been relegated and unable to be promoted to NLN again if we hadn't moved back when we did mind. Which seems to be happening anyway and at least we had a good relationship with Bish. Bloody he...

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.

EDJOHNS

Think it’s probably bad that Shields and Blyth jobs up for grabs and quite possibly Spenny in near future as sure I read ages ago that their guy was temp until the new year. Imagine any likely candidate for us is also on their list so real bad timing I reckon. Quite probable that likes of Steve Wat...

His team talk the other day, with the f word every other word was embarrassing. Not that I'm a puritan, but if you're swearing every other word, you're not communicating effectively.

Thank you, I so wanted to say something at the time but thought it would start yet another pointless argument.

EDJOHNS

We'll have to pay a severance to the current manager and staff, as well as to some of his terrible signings. Do we know that though, for sure? Have you ever wondered why the terms of J.G's contract remain so secret? Or why he even got the job when possibly, there might have been better candidates? ...

EDJOHNS

Where are the Gowling fan boys tonight? He needs to go now. Haway DJ, admit you nade a blunder and rectify it while we still have a slim chance of staying up. Thought you’d be knocking one out into your Xmas stocking over today A VERY poor result though I agree, just as the Gloucester one was a goo...

My first thought is disgust at the players and manager for a lack of loyalty. Surely at that level, they are not totally dependent on money gained from the club to survive and could have deferred payment until games were played. I'm not sure about this Ed. I don't know any of the detail on this but...

Stick to the chippy Ted.

If you want something, find it yourself.

That would be difficult as it does not exist.

Yep, saw that 1 and no, it does not answer the questions I asked.

Is anyone going to actually be accountable for the decisions over the last year? I get most are volunteers, but that shouldn't hide the fact they have the power to make decisions, decisions that should be in the interests of shareholders aka fans. Which they are clearly getting wrong. What would yo...

EDJOHNS

Getting a bit fed up of people giving negative thoughts on here and hoping to be proved wrong. My view is to be more positive in our outlook. When all is said and done we are where we are and I believe a positive atmosphere from the supporters at our games will feed to the players and produce a pos...

EDJOHNS

Never thought I’d say this, but if we do get relegated, I would find it hard to justify renewing my season ticket which I’ve had for 35 years . Everyone is entitled to use their cash as they wish but have to say, I find it strange you kept your pass through 3 administrations and dropping down to th...

I’m not mentioning any names but the anti Gowling lot are doing my head in. Everything is bad, everything is negative, they never give up, it’s moan moan moan. What do they hope to achieve? Do they reckon that their constant bad vibes are going to help the players in some way ? Yes - we are in a re...

The whole thing is a mess, but Josh has added to the mess, I dread to think what our finances are looking like at the moment, crowds are starting to drop and if we look as though we are too far adrift next year, they will drop even further. At training last thursday there were 13 off field staff, m...

Strange how people in the know tell us Asante is definitely on £1000 a week but no-one knows what's going on with Mustoe? Do tell, please. All I know is that they are trying to move him on, along with other players who now find themselves back in the side. I’ve been told a figure we are paying Asan...

I have seen a few posts circulating on x and fb saying that we are paying Asante a £1,000 a week, I didn’t believe it until I saw Jim Provett post a weeks and a half before we signed him. It reads “ Crazy that clubs can find another 1/3 of original budget to throw at 1 player at this point of a sea...

At the end of the day Gowlings signings have been just awful,barring a couple. I cannot see us surviving if he remains in charge and if the board stick with him next season really think the BTB will be a disaster. Sent from my SM-A145R using Tapatalk And AA’s were great and he spent the 160k well??...

EDJOHNS

Pretty much agree with the above.Why on earth did Gowling take Moke off who was having one of his best games for us, instead of Salkeld who was giving the ball away far too much and was poor last night imo.Regarding Tommy, we have a goalkeeping coach and surely it's glaringly obvious he has to star...

Previously depleted Rushall have brought in several new signings recently, including some young EFL loanees, who helped improve them enormously in their victory at Boston this week. Also don't want to scare anyone but... Last month: Rushall Olympic 5 Chorley 0 This month: Chorley 8 Darlington 0 Gul...
