didn't we have a "head" of recruitment for about a month, when Dowse was here? I remember seeing a video interview of him, then nothing else, ever. Yeah - although "head" implies more control. He was basically a FT scout. IIRC he suggested a number of players who ended up playing higher in the pyra...

I'd stick an extension on a house I rent, if I had a 99 year lease and I really needed the space. …which takes us back to the point…who pays for it?? I won £2.70 on last nights Euromillions. It’s not enough, I’m afraid. You should. Stop wasting money on those dodgy shorts and invest properly in the...

Gutted about Jim. Wilko has also departed - a class player when fit but unfortunately too injury prone. A fully fit Wilkinson doesn't play non league football. Outstanding on the ball, great in the air and as composed a centre back as we've had in years. Such a shame that he can't stay fit. Another...

Best of luck to him. Outstanding in his first season and still pretty good, whilst not fit, in this season just gone. Hopefully his shoulder injury is fully recovered and he gets another club in July. Assume this means Doyle has a plan. Will be interesting to see how that progresses in the coming we...

Raise between £8m-£10m or about £4m for a piecemeal effort.
But you'd be asking people to build a stadium they won't own, it's a bit like sticking an extension on a house you rent.

But I’m not volunteering to staff it, would anyone else?
I'm 99% sure you'd fail the relevant police/safety checks, so no risk of you being asked, despite you having all that spare time you could put to use.

From a simple sales point of view this is probably largely true, but from a profile point of view there may be some mileage in investigating the possibilities as, providing the costs were not prohibitive, raising the profile may well increase income in the longer term? Not sure I can define 'prohib...

Marks and Spencers gets free rent in Woking town centre, why shouldn’t the football team ? Even if the rent was free, you think we'd make enough incremental profit to staff it? I can't imagine a situation where someone would buy a Woking kit, because they'd seen it in the town centre, who wouldn't ...

AAJ was highly rated just for not making the mistakes that Jaaskelainen did. He had good reflexes, was a proper height for a keeper and had a few decent games - but such obvious flaws in his technique. He couldn't really catch and had the unenviable ability to palm saves back into the line of the po...

Whilst I think it's often about individuals' confidence/charisma, it's certainly got worse in the last couple of seasons. I'd forgive Doyle's influence though, as he's been fighting relegation and as per the other thread, there aren't exactly loads of players who are likely to be around next season,...

Logistically we have our challenges but treat away fans how we would like to be treated. Decent food and beers on offer should be the minimum. Does anyone really expect "decent" food or beer at football, especially as an away fan?! It's a burger/hot dog etc... and whatever beer is available. I thin...

Has Berkoe ended up being our most productive wide player for the whole season, despite being a wing back rather than a winger and having only played less than a third of the season for us?
Sarll really tried his best to mess up the football club. Once a Stevenage scummer.....

Would we want any of their squad? Preferably ones who can play more than about a dozen games without breaking down.
Edit - Is Chris Bush there? A back three of him, Cuthbert and Timi would be immense.

Wish list for the new season: Bin the Elvis song at kick off. It's shit. Start doing fitness tests when we sign players. Stick with the 3-5-2 (although it was more 5-4-1 yesterday). It was dogshit when we first tried it, but with proper athletes in the wing back roles, we've looked great. New first ...

Agree. One thing we have to change though is the allocated seats for season ticket holders in the LGS. It simply doesn’t work. Years gone by you paid a premium to “reserve” your seat which worked fine. This year has been shambolic, the busy games with the LGS “close to capacity” hasn’t actually bee...

Fylde had to be perfect opposition for this sort of game. Limited side and nothing to play for. Nice win and for a change, we probably could have had several more. Onto a really weird summer. Assume the likes of Ince and RGC will have their contracts paid off. Massive job for Doyle to out together a...

Why has no one mentioned that loan player from Norwich who ran around for ten minutes at Wealdstone without getting close to the ball.
Sarll really did go fucking mental at the end.

So despite having a commercial director and football director at the time, Alan Dowson was the sole reason behind both our sponsors and player signings/sales. I wonder why we ever bothered to employ anybody else? Good to see the cult lives on. Did we have anyone employed in either of those roles in...

This is a football club that made a profit in two seasons in the last 25 years - both under Dowson's time as manager. He also recruited a number of sponsors - including two shirt sponsors. That wasn't even meant to be his job! Are you suggesting these marginal profits were down to his outstanding m...

I think you're underselling his ability to get a lot of our sponsors very much onside. He's also a massive asset with the wider community. I get that some people haven't forgiven him for being completely unsuited to full time management - but he made the club an absolute fortune in his time at the ...
