There seems to be some more problems with signing players at KTFC. They have an announcement which implies they needed permission to take on a collection of non-contract, loanees and youth / work experience players. Needless to say, the Poppies fans haven't spotted this - nor the fact that the Alasan Ann deal has been backtracked from a 6 month to a one month deal.

Journey into the Unknown

There can be few Poppies seasons likely to be as jarring as the start of this one.

An entirely new starting XI, playing under a new management team, headed by a new Chairman and playing in a new league.  A league so "low" that our previous, wanabee almost-Chairman George was convinced we would be at least play-off certainties regardless of our 10 point deduction.  A league so far behind where we are used to be playing that we have to listen to the sports round-up on Radio Northampton for several minutes before they get around to us.

Of course George, like the rest of us I suppose, was basing our prospects this season on a Conference National team dropping into the Southern League.  Given the unknown calibre of our signings I can't believe anyone is quite so confident now.  By this time tomorrow we should have a more informed idea what to expect.  A thumping win and we'll happily adopt the "Billy Big-Bollox" posture and tell everyone we're gonna piss this poxy league.  However, should we get spanked down on the coast that 10 point deficit is going to look awfully large, and we'll all be in absolute dread of the following Tuesday night home game where the opposition and the attendance will both be watched with equal levels of fearfulness.

All the best to the team for tomorrow.  Whoever they are!

What sane person would willingly sign up to be responsible for the club's ever-increasing debts? :lol:

The general consensus on the Ploppies forum is that Ladick is responsible for that statement on their OWS. :o

Looks like some want to bury the hatchet (and not in our heads !!)
