The Robins Nest Forum

The board don’t have the resources or time. That's possibly closer to 'board bashing' than anything I've posted regarding the board... Still looking for those examples...? ASL, the comment was to Robin, not you. Hold on where exactly have I had a pop at you? If you count me highlighting the fact th...

Despite the recent negativity we have a solid core of experience and potential seemingly signed on for next season. If we can add a creative midfielder, a couple of forwards, with a good keeper and Clarke stays we could have a positive season.

I've heard a few things, let's see if they come true but the return of Moore as DoF and George Lloyd potentially to another league one side not too far away seem to be doing the rounds. Worryingly nothing much on the incoming player side.

Paul Bence has had enough. With him standing down, I think I can share now that when we appointed Wade he was the only director who wanted to appoint Matty Taylor from the final two candidates. We dodged a bullet for sure with that managerial appointment. Doesn't reflect on his overall time here bu...

buying seasons

Solar panels are nice and all but give absolutely no tangible benefit to fans. Buying seasons is a big positive but there appears to be no plan in terms of how to use it to generate revenue.

Saw a tweet from JP that there maybe another departure from the board of directors. Not the chairman though. Paul Bence has had enough. With him standing down, I think I can share now that when we appointed Wade he was the only director who wanted to appoint Matty Taylor from the final two candidat...

I've heard whispers that there was a discussion within the board room to increase ticket prices but ultimately they have decided against it. I expect them to remain as they are for next season now.

DC will be going, DC has restored a level of confidence within himself, he will now be seeking a greater salary and bigger budget to work with. A great shame but he will leave the club and it looks like another season of rebuild. I have heard the rumour reference to a return of a former director of...

That stand opposite us is exactly what should happen with the C&G, it was basic but had a bar underneath and good views. I would view Stevenage as a smaller club than ourselves and would imagine they've spent the majority of the last twenty five years below us in the league standings and with lo...

Yes, I noticed a few Stevenage players turn to acknowledge us at the end. Unlike the bellend Sweeney shushing us when they scored the penalty. I have no issue with players giving it back to fans who have been getting on their back, but there was none of that yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tap...

I will get slammed for this but we should offer him some sort of contract until January to aid his recovery. He put his body on the line for us so some loyalty would be the right thing to do and you never know he might then repay us again in future.

Regarding the training ground I presume it's a five figure investment so unlikely that crowdfunder could cover it but I would like to think our owners would consider it as it won't bankrupt the club and it will help us long term.

Hearing rumours we might be about to appoint a Director of Football and it's a face we all know. Unsure how that fits with keep Clarke for next season but I believe he worked with one at Port Vale and Bristol Rovers. Hopefully a bit of positive news on a really low day for the club.

That has to be the most predictable interview ever seen :lol: (no dig at you for posting triggo) I may look a fool on Saturday afternoon but I think we have the most favourable fixture. Stevenage lose and they get clapped off for a great season, Vale or Fleetwood lose and they risk getting booed an...

When you say Carribean investment do you mean from Charles Jennings our 2nd largest shareholder who is a fan of the club but based in Cayman islands?

Anyone know who the clubs are at our level who own their own grounds? It's murky but I understood Derby and Reading did own their grounds but that was moved to companies under their former/current owners. Portsmouth, Bolton, Lincoln, Burton, Northampton, Cambridge and Wycombe own their grounds base...

Possibly but I believe Ipswich and Plymouth received quite a bit of US based investment before Wrexham became a thing. I can see the logic with someone like Ipswich, they come invest £20 million and if that money get's them to the Premier league they make a huge return. If it fails it's a relative l...

There is a player called Josh Stokes at Bristol City (signed from Aldershot and loaned back) that could be one for us to keep an eye on for next season. Wasn't he pretty much the hottest property in Non-league this season? I remember hearing he's a real prospect and Bristol City paid good money for...

This was brought up at the forum that the majority of EFL clubs now have American investment however whilst not explicitly stated the indication was that this was not something which would be welcomed here. I do fear we could be left behind without it as even clubs like Wycombe, who are a similar si...

We have sold almost a thousand tickets without any free travel but come on a couple of coaches costs max £1000 for the day that's half a weeks wages for a player.

Over 900 tickets sold as of this evening, going to be over a thousand of us there so I hope the team turn up.

I'm not Nuttall bashing but we need a more mobile physical presence. Someone like Odejayi could do for us in the past it's the one thing we really lack because Keena and Taylor don't offer that at all.

I can't see us selling 1400 out so it should not matter. Hopefully we can get a good following though and get a result, it's do able if we play like the first sixty minutes yesterday and the first half on Saturday. Also please no more changes in formation stick to our best eleven and regular 3-5-2.

It's definitely lacking and very noticeable how our midfield has improved when it's Bonds/Pett rather than Pett/Kinsella. Would love to see us add big powerful and pacy forward (similar to Jones for Posh) who can give us an outlet and let us play on the counter attack in the summer no matter which l...

tbf to POSH they came into the game in the second half and dominated us, if they had managed to score I reckon we would have fallen apart. I can't agree with that they had two shots on target that I recall. They certainly improved in the last thirty minutes but we also sat back and didn't press. Do...

Just been told we've sold out of tickets for Saturday, club are apparently asking for more.

3,500 home fans - utterly pitiful. This town doesn't deserve this great set of lads

Lowest home crowd for a long time fans have given up after recent results but some optimism going into the last game should see a decent away following Saturday.

The majority of fans won't travel on coach, seems a bit unfair to do this, better to put money behind the bar at the ground so fans can have a beer or two. Seems a bit unfair to do this...many fans will be driving or simply may not have any desire to have a beer or two that early in the day... :D :...

After last night I am tempted to go, is it all ticket and what is the away end capacity as presumably we will take a good following.

Darrell has done amazing, I didn't think we could pull it off and despite all the off the field and some on field headwinds to still be in it going into the last game is a major achievement. Just win Saturday and leave no regrets.

I don't think the issue was Mickey Moore going himself, so much as having no plan for when he did leave. At best, this was naive on the Board's part. At worst, reckless. We'd already had to increase his wage earlier in the season to keep him from going to Forest Green, so it was clear to a blind ma...

MM leaving a bad thing, the evidence suggests yes as recruitment dropped off considerably.

Another day and another post when Robin speaks for others . I did point this out on a previous post and his inconsistency of principles. This is a Forum of opinions but claiming to speak for others should be discouraged. What a weird statement. Are you suggesting I am speaking for others or are yoi...
