Cool Hand Luke beware

New rules for next season. On Saturday the International Football Association Board (IFAB) met to discuss various law changes. A few months ago a blue card looked like being trialled at professional level but this card will now only be used at grass-roots and youth levels. IFAB, though, has approved...

Re: NO MORE PENNY PINCHING IN L2 NEXT SEASON

Well it's too soon to be so pessimistic although others will say just being realistic. I'd forgotten about the hefty solidarity payments that clubs get which help in the first season after relegation. So if the worst does happen the next season offers the best chance of promotion. Similar to when we...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Charlton Athletic

It would be a dereliction of duty if we're not looking to see if we can sign a short term deal for a striker.

Surely we can tempt someone with 2 months wages plus a League 1 status brucie bonus.

Our players seem able to play better against the bigger teams.
On a side note will the upcoming international break work for us or against us?

Re: Cheltenham Town v Burton Albion

I would start Nuttall and Keena on Tuesday. Think the forwards look completely gassed and need a break. Shake up the midfield too - Pett, Kinsella and Harrop. Would love to have Thomas on from the start but unless we change formation that won't happen. I'm just praying that Rob Street might return ...

Funny who you meet at the barbers!
Going off topic I followed the former Snooker World champion Ray Reardon
into the chair a few weeks ago and he was really chuffed as he'd made a century break at the age of 90 the previous week.

Sorry.

Not saying that we can lose that figure every year but just mentioning that
Barnsley lost 5 MILLION during the same period.

Re: Prize money

Steve, as the subs have stayed at £5 per month since the 500 club's inception would increasing these to maybe £7 pm be something to think about given inflation has diminished the value of the sums raised.
