From the outside (and I totally admit I'm out of the loop and I'm happy to be corrected) I don't get the fuss. Bloke who clearly cares about the club, is a licensed coach is coming in for a few games more. The statement says 'ongoing basis', not permanent. So this is just caretaker? If other members...

He was frightened of scoring goals. Not saying he behaved well, but he was a decent goalscorer in a bad team. A couple of big goals vs Boston and Northampton in 04/05. 10 in 37 in the relegation season, including winners in 4 games towards the end of the season and Rochdale (which should've been a ...

Really sad news, that 09-11 squad was great, so many memories.

From afar, seems like AP has been very patient across 8 years, including many times when a few thought he should be moved on. He's battled back from low points and stabilised the club at Step 3. Can't ask for much more. I wish him all the best at Tamworth and I hope he smashes it! Maybe the summer w...

Some relevance ? https://www.betvictorsouthern.co.uk/News/124161/St-Ives-Reveal-Ambitious-Plans I wonder if a 3G / 4G pitch at Hayden Rd might be an option, linking with the community rather more locally, as well as reducing our postponement issues in a similar way to St Ives? Perhaps the site woul...

If the UK goes into lockdown, I'm guessing football will be all postponed anyway.

I'll add my 2p, as someone who has watched from afar for a few years. I think the new ground is the light at the end of the tunnel and a 4G pitch is essential for community engagement and revenue, it might annoy traditionalists but so be it. It's a shame that HR hasn't brought the kind of crowds we ...

http://droylsdenfootballclub.com/news/club-statement-droylsden-football-club-to-resign-from-the-league-and-all-cup-competitions/ Droylsden resign from the NPL and all competitions, citing C19. I imagine there must be dozens of clubs in a similar situations. From afar it looks very optimistic that fr...

Yeah the support was immense that day, I was in the centre, second to last row up. I don't even remember us having a decent chance all game TBH. I was absolutely gutted afterwards. I thought we were lucky to get a draw from the home leg, Byrne's goal was probably the most mental I went after a goal ...

I'd not noticed that before, what a selfish idiot!

I can just about pick myself out behind the goal, still remember the 3rd trickling in, poor keeping from Nathan Abbey IIRC!
