You said, and I quote: "...you could also argue that Paul Bence opted against the actual appointment Wade - and I don’t need to remind you of how that appointment went." It was pointed out by asl that his appointment was actually quite successful until the board failed him in the summer. R...

No 16 clean sheets from Luke Southwood, no League 1.

Si Robin

Now you're just being facetious. How about, after the 13th September 2022 (game 8) we spent no time at all in the relegation zone? It was also our 6th season in the third tier, so every chance we could have come outside the top 5 highest finishes. But we didn't end up outside the top 5 finishes, we ...

Si Robin

Both would have been hindered massively by lower away followings.

Si Robin

The club's been rudderless since he left and that can't be denied.

I don't think we need a CEO - it seems that between him and PG, that's exactly what we had.

Si Robin

Whilst I'm not convinced on Moore coming back, I am open to an experienced DOF coming in. I don't think Russ fits that mould. DC has worked with DOF's at Bristol Rovers and Vale, so he'd no doubt be receptive to it. If it's Moore, then so be it. He was a success here last time (probably not as much ...

Si Robin

I'm quite sure Wardy has retired hasn't he?

JP often does puff pieces with ex-players and managers, I suspect it really is just that.

Si Robin

The Moore rumour is strange and seems to have come from nowhere.

I'm open to it. I may not be a huge fan of his ego, but you can't argue with his results. Much like some players and managers just suit certain clubs, perhaps the same can be said of DOFs.

Si Robin

I completely agree.

I liked Wade, but listening to his interviews was painful. Reading them was much easier.

Si Robin

These are the two most important ones for me. We need leadership and experience going into next season.

Si Robin

I think Pell is done now.

Si Robin

Obviously no-one knows if there is a break clause, but I've worked on the assumption that there isn't.

Si Robin

Are you sure you know who you're talking to in that post? I've not seen a single post from asl bashing the board. Wade was not a poor appointment. His first year proves that. DC has even said that Wade's hands were completely tied in the summer. Imagine turning up to work as a football manager and h...

Si Robin

Second highest ever finish and a penalty away from Wembley.

With disasters like that, who needs success.

Si Robin

Well if he leaves to go to a bigger club then we’ll be due compensation given he has another year on his deal.

Yes, I noticed a few Stevenage players turn to acknowledge us at the end. Unlike the bellend Sweeney shushing us when they scored the penalty. I have no issue with players giving it back to fans who have been getting on their back, but there was none of that yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tap...

Si Robin

Indeed - get well Luke. Been a fantastic keeper for us.

Si Robin

Highly probable Pett, Sloggett These two are real unknowns, I’d say. Pett came here for Darrell. Whether Darrell stays or not will surely be the key factor. Sloggett has looked promising and one of the reasons he’s here is because his girlfriend plays for Bristol City and the location suits him. I’...

By the sound of that post it seems to be calling out a certain podcaster /journalist/commentator Is said journalist offering any positive suggestions At the forum there were not many solutions being offered just attacks I dont listen to many podcasts especially if the go past 25 or 30 minutes so I ...

Thirded - excellent post Ihearye. For those who haven't seen it - Paul Bence's post from LinkedIn below: I was extremely honoured to join the Board of my local team Cheltenham Town Football Club almost 7 years ago to the day. We were facing Hartlepool in a final game in which we faced relegation fro...

Si Robin

I don't see a reduction in prices coming - they'd be crazy to consider putting them up though.

Si Robin

It already has Mal - used to be a daily and nis now a weekly.

Si Robin

I’m writing this on the night of 27 April, the day relegation was confirmed. Sorrows drowned etc etc In all honesty the fact that the inevitable (so it seemed in October) went to the last weekend was, with due respect to the players, down to one man: Darryl Clarke. You, the board, (note the lack of...

Si Robin

I completely forgot about Murry.

Si Robin

Isn't Paul Bence the vice-chair and commercial director? So only he has gone.

PB isn't a board member and hasn't been for a few years now.

Si Robin

Max Harris has another year.

Si Robin

Just home, almost exactly 2 hours from the car park. Gutted - especially given the Burton result. A few observations: 1. I think that's twice now Thomas has been booked for 'simulation' since joining us? From what I saw, both were deserved. He needs to cut that out of his game and do the things he'...

Si Robin

I used to do that all the time. Then I stopped going to away days and it felt like it would be wrong to do it this season.

I may do it tomorrow.

Si Robin

It's become like a family to me - losing Neil Kulkarni in January actually left me devastated.

Si Robin

Interesting early Stevenage team news from SportsMole.co.uk:- "The hosts have a lengthy list of absentees going into this match with the potential of up to eight players being absent due to injury and suspension. Dan Butler served the first of a three-game ban against Oxford United after being...

Si Robin

Probably FGR, other than that it’s probably a decade ago. Don’t think we even took 1000 to the Torquay or Northampton play offs We've never officially taken 1,000 to FGR I believe. We took 3,000 to Notts County in 2003 (stat courtesy of JP). According to the report on the official website we took 1...

Back injury apparently

In terms of fanzines, I guess the various podcasts and, I'm sure blogs and vlogs are probably the equivalent. Probably my very individual idiosyncrasy, but I have never got on board with these, much prefer the 'printed' word I was always anti-Kindle because I liked having the book. Then anti-Audibl...
