I’m really pleased with this extension. On his day he is a cultured player who can make things happen, just lacks a bit of consistency, as most players do at this level from time to time. With Mr Duff at the helm we can be sure that he will get the best out of every player and we have seen the fruit...

Lord Elpuz

This Club is heading very much in the right direction, but we must all make sure we match Mr Duff’s expectations to ensure it keeps going that way. Talking to friends and fellow fans, I know of quite a few who are new applicants for season tickets, and I know of several former season ticket holders ...

Lord Elpuz

Yes, a really excellent gesture from CTFC, and Matt, the Groundsman - and well done JP for sowing the seeds (not the ones’s on the pitch, I mean the seed of the idea

)

Lord Elpuz

Excellent news, a real crowd pleaser and a secret weapon at our disposal. One of the real finds of the season.

Lord Elpuz

I was pleased with the way we went about this game. Mr Duff had done the homework and worked out where STFC were vulnerable. We won the majority of the little battles across the whole pitch, Luke Varney did two tremendous acts of sheer ‘professional gamesmanship’ towards the end, winning a free kick...

Lord Elpuz

Here is one to get Mal really worried, if we were ever see the likes again ...

Lord Elpuz

I think Mal’s ‘prophesy of doom weather forecasting’ website will let him down this weekend. No Emperor Penguin chicks will be harmed in this local derby game Game will definitely be on. We will only get about 3-4mm of rain overnight Friday into Saturday. Wind speed will be about 26mph with occasion...

Lord Elpuz

Indeed, a very good interview and Mr Wilcox has proven to be a very decent Chairman. It was a good insight into what a Chairman has to deal with when running a Club, and some pretty strong hints at what needed to be put right, and overall I would say he’s got it very right. The only thing I would co...

Lord Elpuz

It’s Bower and Lloyd I feel sorry for. People have been clamouring for Duff to play the home-grown kids. Same happened with Yates in an end of season game v Dagenham. Play the kids, get smashed. Didn’t even need Sido to score a spectacular own goal today. Game was already lost by the time the kids w...

Lord Elpuz

He’s improving month on month under Duff’s guidance, and is one we must surely sign. I fully expect him to chip in with more goals next season from a back four that will be amongst the best in the division at defending as well as being a goal threat at the other end.

Lord Elpuz

To the groundsman for keeping the pitch in excellent condition throughout the season. The pitch today looked incredible, superb work. I’m with you Mal. I said something similar in February (“State Of The Pitch”) it is superb and has looked superb all season, and surely a major contributory factor t...

Lord Elpuz

I don’t think the weather helped over the weekend, it’s been glorious, and there would have been plenty of people wanting to make use of the early rays of sunshine before it turns cooler again - we are still in Winter, though that’s hard enough to believe! Football is a Winter sport after all. But ...

Lord Elpuz

Let’s hope we all give Lindsay a damn fine send off on Good Friday and remember him for being a massive cog in the wheel that helped us achieve our Football League status.

Rest In Peace Lad, and thanks for being a major part of our proud history.

Lord Elpuz

He wasn’t a first choice player when he arrived, but his performances quickly established him as a ‘first name on the team sheet’ player. He was outstanding in the first half of the season, really excellent and a potential Player of the Season. He got an injury early in the new year around the time ...

Lord Elpuz

Not at all. If he was refusing to sign a new contract then we were right to get something out of it, else we would have received nothing at the end of the season. You are probably right, but the surprising thing about that being no one else made a better offer? Was he even on anyone else’s radar? I...

Lord Elpuz

None of us were there but we all know what FGR’s policy towards football is. Or should I say, Dale Vince’s. He’s a bully who bullies people in a bullying manner. All ctfc fans know what that is like. We turned up for a nice day out with our friends in the south of the county and he turned it into a...

Lord Elpuz

Some interesting additions from FGR supporters on the FGR Club statement on the matter have just come in, which make points about the varying standard of stewarding across TNL but also one of the FGR fans debunks the Official FCR statement that “every fan in all four stands had their tickets checked...

Lord Elpuz

What’s the difference between the FGR statement on “The Fan Incident at the Macclesfield Game”, and complaints about their awful vegan cuisine:

One of them is

“A COMPLETE LACK OF PIES”

Lord Elpuz

He had a year left on his deal and was refusing to sign a new one. The plot thickens. If that’s the case, then the £30k Burnley paid was the biggest heist since the Brink’s-Mat robbery of 1983. That heist was worth £26M. A similar ‘what price now’ value to what Mike Duff would be worth (imho), in a...

Lord Elpuz

I invite everyone to read the FGR statement about what occurred! I would be upset if it wasn't so funny. One, I apparently only had a photograph of my e-ticket. Total nonsense. The stewards were shown the original. Two, I apparently threw a punch at a steward but missed. I would love to see the CCT...

Lord Elpuz

Have only ever met KG once, during which time he insulted me, however I have never held that against him and respected him as a true fan of his club. I have no reason to think he is lying but if the events happened as he describes then this is an outrage. I remember when we shared your ground their...

Lord Elpuz

Yes, despite my jesting on the subject (apologies), that’s an interesting take from JP. I wasn’t aware Mike Duff was out of contract at the time. People have generally remarked (even Burnley fans) that Mike Duff was probably the Football bargain of the decade, but when you compare his success at Bur...

Lord Elpuz

Dunkerton is back on her board and the major shareholding group today said they will support his turnaround plans. Those plans include diversifying the range and increasing margins. It would be a really nice local touch, but we only have a solid fan base of around 2500, and not all of them buy repl...

Lord Elpuz

I would be surprised if the connection is Superdry. They’ve been issuing profit warnings since at least last Autumn. No disrespect intended anywhere but I cannot see how a unison with CTFC would help revive the brand.

Lord Elpuz

What, for a bag of pork scratchings? I’ve no idea ... never eat the stuff.

Lord Elpuz

KG you'll be more than welcome at WR, treated like a 'proper' football fan by a 'proper' football club. Thank you and others for your kind words and offers. I don't see myself watching any other club on a regular basis simply because FGR is in my blood. I had a relative who played for the club in t...

Lord Elpuz

RCS is right to raise this on our “RNF CTFC Chat” especially as it shows the difference in professionalism between the two League Clubs from Gloucestershire. I have seen, for example many occasions where friends who’ve forgotten their season ticket at Cheltenham have made a quick visit to see our ex...

Lord Elpuz

The less success that both franchises have in the football league the more deterrent there is for future reoccurence. Regarding Macc being an honest team, they haven't paid their players timely at least once this season, is that still "honest"? It’s an interesting point. They’re trying to...

Lord Elpuz

The only downside of last night's result is it boosts Forest Greens play off aspirations. Crawley and Yeovil going down would be fine by me, two horrible away trips. I don’t care if FGR go up. Good for Glos football profile. I don’t care if ‘the current’ FGR go up either. But for entirely different...

Lord Elpuz

With so much wood on show, perhaps the FGR hierarchy should approach Viagra to sponsor the stadium.

Whichever way you look at it, the fact remains it’s most likely to be a huge cock-up.

Lord Elpuz

I’m probably preaching to the same readership from other threads (apologies for duplicating what has been said elsewhere) but definitely keep him. There is great potential given match time, and coaching to Mr Duff’s high standards and expectations, because his style and movement is reminiscent of Mo...

Lord Elpuz

How old is Bingham now, feels like ages ago that we rejected him after trial. The ball sticks to his feet but his finishing isn't there or his work rate from what I've seen. He’s only 25. I suspect the work rate and finishing would improve with game time and of course the direction from his Manager...

Now that’s just taking the p|$$

Lord Elpuz

Bingham is a prospect, he just needs some game time to sharpen up a little. He has a lot of pace, his distribution is incisive and he gets himself into good positions. He could learn off Reg to make himself more of a presence in the air, but he definitely has the necessary attributes - he just needs...

Ah yes, thank you RCS, the penny has now dropped - and my apologies to Ben3, as I missed his most excellent observation !
