I stand corrected. Was it that way last season, am I confusing it with the pizza cup or did I dream it?

Re: Gillingham v Cheltenham Town

And Evans should have done better with the goal tonight, it would appear.

Nice to make it to the Third Round - hopefully a nice away tie at Manchester United perhaps.

Re: Michael Duff after the defeat at Fleetwood

Yes... It's not the best look. The fact is that we have the Club's Statement and Wilcox's alleged accounts to various supporters. Neither of which really take us much further. It is ultimately water under the bridge and we have our Board and we have to expect that they are competently running the fo...

Re: Ben Tozer rumour

I wouldn't blame Tozer for wanting a guaranteed income for three years that exceeds what he is currently earning here. Life as a professional footballer is short and there is little security for a lower league footballer. The club has to make a call as to what value it places on League One football ...

Re: Michael Duff after the defeat at Fleetwood

Speculating as to what may or may not have been the reasons for Wilcox's departure is unhelpful. To unseat the Chair (and even from the Board) over a difference in opinion over a "modest increase" in the playing budget (as the sole or main cause) does seem rather unlikely to me.

Yes, Sean Long.

We can't be too reliant on one player and I'm sure Duffo has planned for the eventuality that he leaves or is injured for an extended period of time.

Re: CTFC vs Fleetwood Town Sat 21st August 2021 Away

Although I'm expecting Fleetwood to struggle, I'm not sure I can see them going on a 4 game losing streak.

1-1 - Vassell (if he starts). If not, May.

I've said it before but WB is attractive partly because he is left footed. Teams that like to play out from the back will need a left footed centre back and they are pretty rare.

Re: Trust SLO

The SLO has reached out to people. I really don't understand what more you expect her to do? She has made herself available online and offline and has done a huge amount behind the scenes considering she is a volunteer.

As for your anecdotal example, I'm sure that happened.

Re: 3,000

I agree. All very sensible points. The problem we have is that we have tried the cheaper tickets approach before a few times, but the marginal attendance gains did not make up the shortfall in price. We have a small but loyal core fan base but as you say, that will have its limits. The sooner the cl...

Re: Parklands

Generally, signage makes no difference - the land is either private or it is not. Whether the public can 'use' the land depends on its status, whether there are any public rights of way and any licences.

You should of course obtain proper legal advice rather than rely on someone on a football forum!

It is actually the reverse! It is the person in possession of the land who would have an actionable claim for trespass.

Freestone is more of a CB than a LWB. I suspect Duffo is looking for someone who is primarily a winger that can defend.
