His Bromley performance was bent as hell, can't imagine much difference this week against a 'BIG' club 4th in league one. That's exactly how I remember it. He ignored all the Bromley shirt pulling and the first time Sherring did it, pointed to the spot quicker than an alcoholic ordering a pint in W...

Robert Massey-Ellis returns to Whaddon Road this weekend for the visit of Bradford in the FA Cup This will be the second time this season The Husband of Sian makes a visit after he officiated the game against Bromley at the start of the season, where he refused to give us a penalty for a shirt pull...

I half saw the first incident where the Walsall player cleared the ball at pace into the CF. An elderly gent took it in face and looked a bit shook up. Hope he was ok after he was seen by the first aiders and was able to enjoy the winning goal? Many took some amusement in the same incident at the y...

Except it is no longer hired out to anyone. I found that out when enquiring a couple of weeks ago.

After an absence of a year, Tom Reeves returns to Town duty for our trip Crawley on Saturday. His last assignment was the 3-0 humping at Plymouth in the League Cup at the beginning of last season. Prior to that he oversaw our defeat on the hill in Nailsworth a few years back and the, still agonisin...

It's based on the rumours of what happened with the Mo Eisa deal (unfounded rumours I hasten to add). As for GJ getting plaudits for Ethon Archer - even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I had it confirmed from someone who received an email from our current chairman that GJ did receive 10% of t...

Edward Duckworth takes charge of our Carabao Cup game against Cardiff on Tuesday 26th August Mr Duckworth was promoted to the EFL after 1 season in the National League, making his EFL debut in 23/24 He refereed our game against Cambridge at home which we won 1-0 with a goal from Sercombe in the 5th...

Scott Jackson takes charge of our home game against Barnet this weekend. Scott was promoted to the EFL in 2023/2024 and he refereed 1 game for us that season with that being the 1-3 home loss to Charlton. He refereed the away game at Carlisle in 24/25 where we won 1-0 thanks to the work of the Carl...

Robert Massey-Ellis takes charge of our game tomorrow evening against Bromley. This will be only the second time the husband of Sian will take charge of a town game after the 1-1 home game against Grimsby last season. This will be only his third game in the football league despite having refereed s...

Our encounters with Mr Alan Young are as follows: 2018/2019 24/11/2018 - A 2-1 win at home to Newport with goals from Will Boyle and Tyrone Barnett 02/03/2019 - A 4-2 defeat away at Mansfield, goals from Hussey & Raglan 2019/2020 05/10/2019 - A 1-1 draw away at Oldham with an equaliser from Ryan...

Mr Benjamin Speedie A chequered history, including a FA charge back in 2022 for social media posts on his own Facebook account that constituted Misconduct on 2 accounts, where he was charged with bringing the game in to disrepute and one of those posts was classed as an aggravated breach as it inclu...

How would Robbie Savage be able to become manager of FGR when he is currently a Director of MAcclesfield

Indeed. Also, if it is Joy Seppala who's the lead investment figure (and there really isn't any evidence either way), you'll forgive me for being extremely cynical and concerned given how things were at Coventry. Sisu (Not Seppala on her own) purchased Coventry when they were on the brink of going ...

Let’s not forget the Robins Trusts role in any new ownership. The new owners will either be content to allow the Trust to retain its fairly significant shareholding, or it will make an offer to buy them out. Any such offer will need to be debated and voted on by Trust members. There’s a long way st...

I think my response overlapped with yours.

I fully agree with the rest of your list though

Cam Peupion was on loan from Brighton

Of the 6 we lost the mileage for those was an average of 313 miles with Carlisle being the biggest at 476 mile round trip

Port Vale was the shortest round trip at 188 miles

I have been doing my research on door to door mileage for CTFC next season, using Whaddon Road as the starting point for each away trip and we will in fact e travelling less miles on average this coming season than the season just gone. 2024/2025 Average Round Trip Mileage: 273.5 2025/2026 Average R...

I think what most of us have issues with is that we don't look "Professional". ... It just feels like we are stagnating as a club and because it has "Always worked before" the assumption is that it will continue to work moving forward. My hope was the shadow board being set up w...

I think what most of us have issues with is that we don't look "Professional". How many other clubs in the EFL are run by a board that are all (except 1) volunteers. These board members have other jobs to do and we do not know how much time they have to put in to come up with ideas to gene...

It doesn’t matter what the release clause is if we have multiple clubs after him and they want him enough. The figure will go above £250k. No it won't. You could have 10 clubs that want him, and if the release clause is £250k then on what planet are they paying more. If a club offers £250k then we ...

86th minute and I believe it was a great header by Steve Elliott and Zebroski followed it in

This will be Mr Scott's 5th visit to WR and our record under him is not great. However his last visit did result in a victory 08/09 season Our 3-1 away defeat to MK dons where he sent off MK keeper Gueret in the 30th minute and our very own Lloyd Owusu in the 83rd minute and also the 0-1 home defeat...

Hi Steve, Can I ask that if a "No number" is drawn moving forward then that number is still announced to the crowd. I am acutely aware of lottery laws and my not announcing the number can be seen as misleading, or worse, to some people they may conclude that you didn't like the winner and ...

I think I need to jump on and clarify this situation, as this whole thing seems to have been blown well out of proportion. This is my first post under this username, because I cannot remember my login details on my old handle. The fan that "Taylor, offered to fight with" was me, and I can ...
