Sneaky digs at the Board by Statler and Waldorf on the commentary. I hope we stick in a few goals to get their blinkers off .

Missed that.What happened to Nuttall?

horlickfanclub

He does not have a controlling shareholding so should not be pulling strings.

No but Moore got a hefty pay rise to stay when Forest Green were trying to poach him so we had six months of paying him beyond budget before he weaseled off.

I found it quite funny when Clive said the main stand project was long term and Pete Matthews said it’s been long term for a long term! For me the most frustrating thing in the whole main stand redevelopment saga is, if we can’t afford a new main (which I completely get) then what are we going to d...

How will it "make money "? Non matchday facilities like lots of other clubs do, if that's not going to (as you have implied) then we may as well give the lease back the council and they can build on it as CTFC are just going to be priced out of playing full time league football by the sou...

Didn't hear who won motm, Am hoping it was Jordan Thomas as he was the only one who lifted the mood He did win it. I don't understand the reticence to 'protect' Thomas or ease him in gradually. He's been playing in the National League South so does not have the transition from Academy to mens footb...

Like others, I'm deflated after last night, but I'm not beaten. I think DC has to take his share of the blame for the last few games. There seems to be rotation for rotation's sake at the moment and this is creating confusion in the midfield and defence. The back three on Saturday were perfectly fi...

just got around listening to see, two things struck me: 1. The deep fear Clive had in his voice when he said the loses weren't sustainable 2. Wouldn't it be better for the whole of lower league football if *some finance and club owners admitted that their football clubs aren't sustainable. The main...

Near thirty thousand capacity stadium and several years in the Premier League ,I would say they are a big club having a poor time.

A moaning handful probably. Similar to a few who wanted rid of Goodwin here.

HamTown wrote: ↑27 Feb 2024, 21:43 DC should say he got it wrong today. The tactics for the first 60 minutes and then Smith for Shepherd (unless it was enforced)

I agree with that. Also he left our biggest forward on the bench while tinkering with the defence.

Couldn't agree more with that last statement: "The budget has got to be used in good areas, and not always on the playing squad, but improving the infrastructure that helps us to continue to improve as a football club." Let's hope the board are listening. Also, the BBC making the popular ...

Rochdale are trying to stay afloat after dropping out of the league. The Chairman's statement to the upcoming EGM shows how hard it is to get new owners in to a club. Simply "investing" a sum of money does not come easy. It is an interesting read and may help explain the process and pitfal...

Future plans have been mentioned by Board members and at meetings. I think Mark Halliwell knows that

Mass changes at Forest Green.

horlickfanclub

Also noticed that Max Mata has been loaned back to Sligo from Shrewsbury Surprised by this - well, not surprised in that he has 1 goal in 20 odd games, but his release clause was significantly more expensive than Keena’s so maybe that’s just a loan to get his confidence back. 2nd most expensive pla...

Or at least we’d get a sell on clause? (Unlikely.)

There is a sell on clause with Grant Horton.

We don't own the land the stadium is on, I doubt we're going to purchase Cakebridge Place. Are you suggesting that owning the ground would not be a strategic priority for us Si :o I believe we wanted to buy it a while back but settled on the long term lease as we couldn't raise the funds at the tim...

A quad injury is a nightmare. Will came back too soon for us and if he keeps doing it his season is done.

horlickfanclub

Who gives a monkey whether its 2 yr 3 yrs or 10yrs we live in the here and now. Next year and year after will take care of themselves. What is important is the next 2 and half months. That is what DC is focusing on. Personally if Matty scores the goals to keep us up, the amount we will receive in E...

Good move for him. I agree he would be useful to have around but he needs to get some games and was rated by Bohemians. I hope we keep Sambu and Willocox next season.

That is why FGR lost over £ 1.3 million in their last financial year.( announced yesterday)

Crowley scored again for Notts County last night.

How did this post get from an away game being rained off to the tedious " we have no ambition" drizzle ?

horlickfanclub

She has every right to say what she has said. Port Vale was a sinking club and will not find good owners so easily again. The sense of entitlement of some watchers of football is depressing.

Is it D.Trump?

horlickfanclub

Sorry, I forgot King. Despite the " not in plans" and not old enough cliches they are all getting paid and should be part of the team squad. My point is that is being eroded. A few weeks ago the Manager was looking for signings to come in to the eleven.Now we have Thomas another wide playe...

We don't need someone else to sit in the stand. Last weekend we had Freestone,Bradbury,Olyinka, Sloggett,Horton plus the eighteen. We also have Sambu,Liggett ,Walters and Willcox trying to progress. Smith and Thompson left because they were not starting. Many more and grumbling will increase.

horlickfanclub

I would play a back four and leave out Smith.

horlickfanclub

Keena and Taylor. Four at the back. Four four two. Our previous system has peaked out.

Water was bubbling up on the half way line by the Colin Farmer stand. No brilliant tactics but a burst pipe?

Towards the end of the first half a guy along from us in the CF had a go at Ferry. He stops, turns around and glares straight up at him. The guy keeps going at Ferry, Ferry walks away, turns again, glares up at us and says something back. Shakes his head, makes some gestures all while the game is g...

Some institution must have been running a bus trip yesterday. Was talking to a friend who was sat in my seat yesterday in Block 2 and there was someone sitting behind him who for 90 minutes thought it was a good idea to be telling all the players they were useless C**ts, that they were heading for ...
