Hmm.
On track for what my ‘boardroom expert’ was predicting – or is Swanny going to depart: unloved, unappreciated and maligned by all those ingrates who call themselves Iron fans?If he is going, yes, it will be unloved and unappreciated, certainly by me. The club is in a far poorer state than when he arrived so this “ingrate” won’t be sorry to see the back of him

Highbury
I think we’ve played an FA cup reply there.
The Southend Stadium is a ground we never played on
Drill Field, Northwich Victoria?
Sandheys Park, New Brighton
A couple of guesses, Reynolds Arena, Darlington & Chester City’s Diva stadium?1 user thanked author for this post.
Wembley?
It’s wrong that the “big clubs” can raid the academies of smaller clubs for peanuts when they are quite happy spending millions on sub standard foreign players

Ffs, down to 10 men. Unbelievable

This club has always seemed to set it’s supporters up just to knock us back again.
They get going, then disappoint.Supporters of most clubs probably say the same

These roles have to be filled for the the academy to stay cat 3, it is an EFL ruling that the academy should have certain roles such as head of recruitment, youth phase and head of academy coaching and others to be filled.
In a few months time we won’t be in the EFL so pretty academic
Colchester are one of a number of clubs that have been swirling around the plug hole for a few seasons. As we are likely to find out, gets you in the end.
No really bothered about the cods. Ours was entirely due to our current owners
No, it was spelt correctly

I think we’ll be out numbered
Our only chance is to bring in a good motivator/organiser and hope that we can squeeze enough points out of the current squad to keep us in touch by the transfer window. Then, Swanns’s going to have to splash the cash. Pay off the EFL loan and bring in some quality to enable us to pull clear in the second half of the season. Will it happen? Nah

IIRC somebody with knowledge of the EFL loan rules said that the outstanding loan meant we could only sign players on a free.
I’m sure there was plenty of options available on frees for the right price. How much in transfer fees did the respective new clubs pay for Gilliad, Easa and Van Veen?
Watching and listening and somethings are going on.
Really, I bet hiring in a plumber to unblock the drains is about as interesting as it’ll get

We have a reasonable team of triers, however, the problem is we haven’t signed anyone with genuine quality. A couple of players who can lift the team, make things happen and most importantly, stay fit would make all the difference. OK, they may cost a few quid, but we are losing far more revenue through depleted gates and will lose even more money next season when the enviable has happened

Why, do they have a “man” of the match in women’s football?
“The club will pay no rent until it can afford to pay a market rent. It is fully protected, in that it has security of tenure for over 100 years and cannot be moved, or developed unless a new stadium and training facilities are provided elsewhere and that is whilst I am here, or anyone else. It will not be borrowed against and will remain a community football club for all our and our offspring’s lifetimes”.
“I will build us a brand new state of the art 12000 seater stadium on a greenfield site”.
“I will now build the new stadium on a different greenfield site”.
“The club’s existing stadium will be rebuilt in stages”.
“I will build a new block of apartments to help fund the club”
Now, remind us which statements we should believe?
You forgot “the team will play exciting and entertaining football”

Come of it UTI99. The few seasons of relative success in league 1 have come at a great cost that we are paying for now. The club has been disgracefully miss-managed by your masters

And does anyone, hand on heart, think we’ll ever get back into the league, given a management who appear clueless, and a chairman who apparently no longer cares?
I can see us bouncing back in time but it could be a long haul. It took Barrow 48 years. One things for sure, it won’t be under the present regime

Probably too embarrassed to play. He’s a modern day Ali Dia
I doubt Northampton will be as bad as Tranmere were. I don’t expect massive changes but I think Scrimshaw and one of the new midfield loanee’s will start.
It’s worth a try
What’s the point if we’re just a finishing school for other club’s players?
I agree to a certain extent. However, number one priority is to stay in the league and I think these lads give us a better chance. By all means give our players game time but only at the right time
Would have thought a wide player would have been a priority. I guess we aren’t going to bother with wingers this season
He could do to lose a bit of weight and hopefully become more mobile but I guess he is what he is.
Wheelie bins are more mobile
