JP told by Bloxham that they're not looking to sell Goodwin and will take guidance from the manager but 'ultimate decision' will be made by the board https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cheltenham-town-chairman-david-bloxham-9037511 Bloxham hits all the right notes fo...

I expect they’ll be back.

I expect they'll be back too. Goodwin is worth more than May, simply because as an asset he has significantly higher re-sale value than May.

We don't need to sell. If we do then we need a replacement ready to go and players are not exactly running to WR at present. Got to keep a eye on the board, because I don't trust them after the Alfie debacle. We do need to sell to raise funds for the experienced players DC wants to help keep us up....

If his agent had a release clause written into his contract , which is likely, he'll be choosing which club suits him best and it sounds as if the valuation has been met. Take a likely sell on clause of 20ish per cent payable to Stoke into consideration and we'll be looking for another unpolished d...

Artemis

The only logical explanation for selling Goodwin is that the board are resigned to relegation. Does anyone know a realistic figure of how much relegation would cost the club? Would his sale offset this cost? Even if Goodwin doesn’t score another goal this season we could still sell him in the summe...

Artemis

What happens or has happened at other games seems to me to be irrelevant. This game was abandoned because of a serious medical emergency that resulted in the death of a supporter, with the agreement of the officials and both teams, and I suggest the support of the vast majority of people both at the...

Strong rumours that Reading are close to going down the plughole. Catering staff at the training ground have left and players are eating microwave meals. Office staff are sat in coats because the heating has been switched off. And the club are planning a January firesale of players to help pay the ...

I always thought our pre season games there stopped because we didn't like our players on artificial grass,maybe it was for other reasons.

Used to play a friendly at Cirencester, also on an artificial pitch. Haven't done for a while now.

That neither confirms nor denies we were in for him mind.

I imagine James Norwood doesn't come cheap

Artemis

Alternatively, head to Preston then down to Horwich Parkway. Should be a shorter trip all round

And out thought him too. Defender wasn't expecting someone to press him like that, resulting in a poor touch and the ball breaks to Sercs.

Artemis

I'm loving this seemingly permanent new manager bounce.

Artemis

given the relative stature and history of clubs like Portsmouth, Derby, Bolton, Charlton and to a lesser extent, Reading, they shouldn't be dropping points to the likes of Cheltenham. But, ha ha, they are....and that's the beauty of a meritocratic league system.. Long may it continue. Roll on Bolton...

Artemis

Lloyd was immense, Curtis was immense and I've run out of superlatives for Sercs. Everyone else quality too.

Adam who?

at half time I'd have taken a point. When Bradbury scored, a point was looking highly unlikely . Three beyond my wildest dreams.

Artemis

When are we going to stop giving away fans half the CF stand in these 'big' games when we could easily sell the seats to our own fans? Because the thinking will be Portsmouth Derby at least will sell all their entire allocation. Less likely home fans. That will be thinking, not saying I agree with ...

Perhaps it's because Glos Live will get more views than the official website. I'm not aware of anyone who regularly checks the official site, but I know a good few who read stories on Glos Live. From a purely professional stance airing what could be seen as 'dirty laundry' on an official site is no...

Artemis

Seemed a big deal for a fair few matches. You have to wonder what they were pai g the man if they had to offer such a raise + a bonus, to try and keep him. We do seem to always be behind the curve. Pay folk a competitive wage to try and stop them looking elsewhere. Is my opinion They did, he accept...

Artemis

Absolutely spot on Si Robin. Same mistakes have been allowed to happen last summer and the one before it yet nothing learnt. This just doesn't happen at other clubs at this level and in my view is just a symptom of having an amateur board with no CEO or accountability, it breeds complacency at the ...

Artemis

The only issue I have is that he's gone and we've got nothing in return for it. His contract was a standard working contract and not the same as what DC is on. The real question is, do we want to keep giving backroom staff standard working contracts which requires them to work a notice period (maki...

Artemis

Why the panic about Murray going? There are plenty of decent coaches out there and I’m sure Darrell will have already highlighted some suitable replacements. I’d just like to say thank you to Adam Murray for his valued work here and wish him well at his new Club. Where he’s going represents zero th...

Of course there's accountability. Like in any other business, the directors are accountable to the shareholders, of which the Trust is a major one. Trust members can make our views known to the board via the FED. Non members can join the trust and do the same.

Different types of player. Our game plan needs the physical target man up front.

I think Fuller means the bloke who called himself the Chief Scout, who's name also escapes me...I'll find it though.

EDIT: John Milton was his name.

Shaun North is currently the kit manager at Portsmouth.

We didn't win either game against Braintree. A last-ish minute goal salvaged a 1-1 draw in the home game.

Artemis

Around six at L1 standard is frankly all we can hope for given our budget. Probably more than we could realistically expect. It then comes down to the club's football management, coaching and leadership. Ward and Duff had it, Downing and Elliott less so although kept us up. Cotterill jumped ship bef...

This will include creating relationships with a variety of people such as opposition SLO's, fan groups and the police to ensure a positive matchday experience for all. Interestingly, nothing about creating relationships with the board of directors and the club's management team. Perhaps the omissio...

I've gone L2 title winning shirt today. Although, a goal less draw is the result I'm after today.

On the plus side, despite that horrendous run, they finished 16th that season. So there is still hope.

Most interesting line - "we have seven board members, who all work very hard, most of them as volunteers".

So some are paid. Who? Is it / are they fulltime position(s)?
