Worst... MK Dons away, this season. Though Dagenham 2014 or 2015 comes a close second.
Best ever, Southend at home or Halifax at home 1997.

Artemis

Uh, Newport is in Wales. Could be Swindon. Won't be us. Unless the 2.8k a week is a hook to get applications in and a low ball offer.

Whilst not directly comparable to ourselves Yeovil currently rent their ground from the council and some of the figures are mentioned here including their freehold purchase option. https://gloverscast.co.uk/council-confirms-extension-on-huish-park-buy-back-clause/ As has been mentioned often the co...

We just take the hit on the duds then? If we are talking performance related, then there should be some consequence for these surely? What hit on those? Did we have to pay someone to take them off our hands? Depends what your expectations of a person good at his job is. If you have to largely scrub...

Finding rough diamonds to sell on isn't his only remit though surely?! He has to build a competitive, balanced squad which we are miles away from. In three transfer windows he has built a squad that, other than Joe Day and maybe a couple of the youngsters, has no one under contract beyond the end o...

Why all the hoo-ha? Its no secret that our business model has been to take on rough diamonds, flog them on for a profit. Gary Johnson is simply delivering what he's been asked to deliver. If he is on a cut of the profits, so what, performance related pay is nothing new. We just take the hit on the ...

Artemis

This is very unwise from PB imo. Merely fans the flames further. If you're going to laud your DOF on this basis you cannot simply cite one example. It reeks of recency bias (a sensible appraisal has to be based on the full body of work not a single - recent- situation) not to mention an apparent de...

As manager it was Eisa (£900k) and Pell (£100k), maybe Billy Waters? (£55k).

As DoF Archer (£400k).

Not including the firesale at the start of last season.

Archer's gone for £400K? Wow!

Is this the Mike Garlick effect now showing itself, it seems we've held out for a decent fee and even got him back on loan. Not long ago he would have left for less no doubt. Doubt it this quick. We know you don’t like DB but… It's quite possible that Mike Garlicks money means we don't have to sell...

Artemis

So the club would be worth just over £1m, based on that? At nominal value yes....although whilst perhaps the values of the player registrations we hold aren't quite what they were, the lack of debt, and the infrastructure and training ground should make it worth more than that practically. Given th...

Artemis

Banning fans in the current circumstance and with crowds already rock bottom doesn't make smart business sense. I suspect they've been warned about crossing the line but club have to hold up some responsibility too, like always there is a huge disconnect from those in the board room and those on th...

There's plenty of free agents still out there.
Connor Wickham and Callum Morton are two of them

Artemis

We can only sign certain players. I have just told them in there, only three players in that dressing room are wanted by other clubs. The rest of them, only Cheltenham wanted you. Only Cheltenham have come in for you, so let that sink in. The brutal facts of it. Flynn telling it like it really is p...

Artemis

Don't think there was anything revelatory here - though I didn't know he'd made an enquiry a couple of years ago. No great statements about Championship football in a few years or anything like that. But there will be a bit of money added to the budget for signing or two this window. Longer-term th...

Artemis

I think at this stage we have to be realistic and presume the window will be closed We should certainly be planning for it, but I don't think it's realistic to presume it won't go through within the next 10 days. I would hope plans are in place for a few players so that things can move quickly once...

Artemis

Not so much nasty as toxic.

Artemis

Still doesn’t answer my question. 3 games in , we have Crawley and Accrington next. . 4 points from 2 and who will be moaning then? Crawley and Accrington aren't until September. Its bromley and barnet next.......need 3 points as a minimum. We need some goals and decent strong performances. Plus 4 ...

Artemis

We’ve been beaten by quality, why are people moaning? I fully expected to lose that one. They have spent a lot of money on proven quality players, and Warne has got them playing. We gifted them two of the three first goals. That can happen against relative quality. Our players on the pitch huffed a...

Re point 1, it is slap bang in the middle of school holidays at the moment which might explain the low attendance. My son and I weren't able to attendas we're away, but it doesn't sound like we missed anything! I agree with that but every other club gets a bumper attendance on the first home game, ...

.........where they play Shamrock Rovers from the League of Ireland.
Its a tough tie, Shamrock finished 10th in last season's league phase, losing narrowly to Molde of Norway in the 1st knockout round.

Artemis

A gamble that so nearly paid off and might well have done but for doing his ham. Earmarked last season to play alongside Bowman and then with Archer and Thomas playing wide he just didn't fit in the system. As others have said maybe an impact player at Rovers or perhaps Yeovil who will train in Bri...

Nice kit, monstrous badge. Will still buy one.

Update:
St Joe's kick off their Conference campaign against Cliftonville next Tuesday, 8th July, at the Europa Point stadium.

Obviously you have the stats to back up your 'minor inconvenience' and the impact on the lives of the people that live there? That would be a people who at liberty to decide via a referendum which country they want to align to. Fabian Picardo looked so happy as he was made to stand beside the idiot...

You can thank the genius Lammy for this. And the planks who voted for Brexit... The MAJORITY are certainly not planks. Remoaners are still crying....inject it into my veins.

You obviously fail to understand a lot. Of course they are not affected by the Schengen restrictions, because they are now in the Schengen group. Who is does affect, is British people wanting to go there on a regular basis. Now do you understand ? Yes, I fully understand thank you....and yes, it is...

Anyway, back on track. In the event that CTFC wanted to loan a player to St Joseph's that player would make an application to work in Gibraltar, it would more than likely be approved by the Gibraltar authorities, and bingo, they could play for St Joes. Although Gibraltar is an overseas territory of ...

You can thank the genius Lammy for this. And the planks who voted for Brexit... Nothing to do with Brexit. Everything to do with the planks that voted Labour. Also, I believe that Lammy’s deal puts Gibraltar into the Schengen zone. If so, access will be limited to 90 days in every 180 (including ti...
