Rip george reynolds. A controversial character who ruffled a few feathers to say the least but he wont be forgotton, sadly for mostly the wrong reasons. The interview on sky sports with team is something i wont forget;

From paul goffy:
Sad news re George Reynolds today - the passing of a generation. Those days with George on Century Radio were the best fun ever. I have also loved our lengthy chats in recent weeks via the phone. Rest in peace George

George still causing havoc in his 80s. Theres probably a part of him who gets a thrill out of it all and been back in the limelight

More clubs are coming out with their position on what should happen now. Interesting comments from Chesterfield CEO 'We are in favour of the season continuing and we will vote for that' 'A small group of players who do not feature in the manager's plans have now been placed on furlough' Be interest...

I have a little chuckle when I think about the National league actually doing something constructive and I I would love to get a peek inside their office. I imagine it to look similar to the inside of a 70s/80s secondary school janitors room. Mops and buckets all over, a couple of crusty coats hung...

If the season does stand a good chance of been canned why on earth bother with the next two games, pointless

The grants were given to keep clubs going until fans could be allowed back and Its the government or shall i say the health chiefs who seem to be running the country now who are not permitting fans into the stadium so it there responsibility to help clubs if they want them to continue. If they wont ...

[Spenn 66 Its a bit like agreeing to buy a house, when you only have a job for 3 months and no employment agreed beyond that period. You might go ahead on the basis that you could get another job, or that something might turn up. The key here is hope, something footie fans need lots of at the best ...

Why the hell would clubs want to take on debts to continue to play a bizare season behind closed doors with no fans. Surely the bulk of national league clubs cans survive on streaming alone too. Seems this has been dragged on very late in the day to the point where current funding has ended. Do they...

I thnk eventually he could well have to look at building a new ground as well as going completely full time. From what I have heard the Brewery Field could never pass the requirements needed for league football due to its location and lack of parking. Not so sure, forest greens ground had bugger al...

MARTIN GRAY - COME ON DOWN.

I was thinking that as well - I would not be surprised.

I thought he had retired from management

Sam Collins might fancy another crack at management I believe Evenwood Utd will have plenty of applicants with Football league experience, a good chairman who still has cash to splash and a large squad why would you not want to get involved. No one really local springs to mind unless brad will cast...

Never saw this comeing. Now if they are going full time then ainsley could not have committed to a full time managerial role and someone else would have been needed but surely the team are not suddenly turning pro part way through the season. A part time to full time transition normally occurs befor...

Have Ilkeston got a decent record in recent years. Not sure if I am confusing them with Stourbridge.

Not really only been going 3 year, must be the furthest they have got

Some valid points particularly about pubs: -Im really sick of hearing “we can sit in a packed pub but not go to football”. What packed pubs? Hardly as if a pub will have anywhere near the amount in of even a northern league Game. Have these idiots spouting this s*** been to a pub lately? -i think th...

Really sad and terrible timing as I assume they're now too late to compete at any level this season as a phoenix club. I really wish the FA would try and be understanding regarding phoenix clubs. It's bad enough clubs going pop, but it is a reality. This is Bury all over again, who had to sit out a...

Is this a possible way back; Wed Sep 16, 2020 2:45 pm Statement from Silkmen Supporters Trust - The SST are devastated by the decision of the court to wind up Macclesfield Town Football Club. The responsibility for this lies at the feet of one person – Amar Alkadhi. We are currently looking into wha...

£340k of the debt was owed to two individuals a lender and their ex-manager (John Askey) and then a further £190k to HMRC. I thought Sol Campbell also say he didn't ever get paid his salary from them - that doesn't appear to be true based on report. You wonder what the situation was with Askey base...

Ok thanks for that. Sad to see them go under, enjoyed my trips to Macclesfield, although there ground to be fair wasn't up too much.

Only went there once but been to far worse even in the footall
League. Had a decent main stand with a canny function suite/bar

Cant believe a ex manager is owed Nearly as much as the tax man. Was he on premier league wages or summat. Enjoyed my visit there when they won the national league. Is 500k really alot for a club to go under these days even in the national league

From what i gather the rules out today on crowd restrictions are just for step 3 and below which would be ok for the bulk of clubs at that level but not for step 2 and above, lets hope common sense prevails for above step 3

What ex chairman? If you mean graeme wood he is just there as honary life president

I really enjoyed yesterdays game, a good advert for non league football. As someone else said: crowds, history etc does not put a team in the football league these days. After the crap last season with notts im sure they were glad to even make the play offs and if they keep the same management im s...

According to the Echo, DMP RUFC have a salary budget of £350,000 & also need funds to maintain and repair the Arena.

Surely the arena needs a overhaul i.e steel work painted and that to get a safety certificate, would be costly i can imagine

Coventry got there first anyway! The Ricoh Arena is actually closer than both St Andrew's and Sixfields but it is no longer listed is a football league ground. Still Suprised coventry can get away with no ground of there own in the city i thought you had to have a ten year security of tenure in the...

Exactly, Shildonlad. The only ones who will suffer are the Addicks fans. How on earth did the previous owner get to keep The Valley and the training ground when it was "taken over". Some crap lawyers involved!

Something sure amis, seems another bury situation

Charlton could be chucked out of the efl if they are not taken over within the next month or so. The owners have failed the fit and proper test, so if they failed how were they allowed to take over in the 1st place? https://talksport.com/football/efl/743108/charlton-future-in-doubt-as-three-individu...
