    Pleased to see JB back was sad to see him leave back in those uncertain dark days.

    Rather a shrewd move by the BovD as if n when AB leaves (Poached Pushed or P45ed) he is there ready to step in.
    Hope there is enough left in the budget for a quality Striker / CF – NOT the one currently being rmoured (Gale)..prefer another option though be ok with Farrel or TSF returning if possible budget wise.

    Eng v DRC ..
    Even the current rather dull England should win this but may well be closer than it should be and im going for a 1-1 draw @ 90 mins and 2-1 AET ….. IF it goes to penalties anything can happen ALA the Dutch.

    Regardless beating DRC is just delaying the trip home by a few days as Mexico look in excellent form after a slow start.

    Fear yee not im confident my mankini is staying in the closet at least until the Christmas and New Year party season when it usually gets its time to shine.

    Local Norwegian guy here just laid a bet on me ..

    Hes so confident England will win the WC hes offered 25 quid / 1000 bt if they dont and all i have to do if they do lift the cup is walk 1 lap of the town bar area wearing only a lime green mankini, a traffic cone hat and my old Foxhills school tie ( i was in Berkley house).

    After deliberation and seeing the confirmed nasty England run in i took the bet.

    Fear not England wont be far behind…looked very stale against Panama.

    Deffo sounds a bit brown bread to me.

    Canada into the last 16 .. bit ov a joke that really.

    Looking at the path England have awaiting them its not looking good.

    DRC win

    Mexico possible win but by no means nailed on , dirty game with lots of diving and a sending off or maybe even 2

    Brazil doubtful win as FIFA will be torn who should win , expect some dodgy VAR in this one.

    ARG loss as the Argies n French look best there along with my outside bet before a ball was kicked – Norway

    Spain wont get that far.

    So the Jocks have arrived home before the postcards,in fact i bought a 7/11 yogurt with a longer expiry date than the Scotts WC dreams. .. Oh dear how sad NEVERMIND ..it took 62 yrs for them to get to the WC before FIFA upped the intake to give them a chance whilst feathering their own nest as is the norm.

    Fear not England wont be far behind…looked very stale against Panama.

    pretty much agree with that Cass .. (slight typo should be Richards = Westbrooke)

    So far signings are at best just okay and Roberts will be a huge miss .. as it stands weaker than last season. … IMO will only see another 1 or 2 signings max

    as an OSTSIDER
    I see shirt sleeve sponsor has been announced .. so
    With the upmost respect please explain how a charitable entity gathering funds for an over seas institution can find the means to “sponsor” a football club , surely all funds should be directed to the charity … is this a philanthropic gesture or what PLEASE CONFIRM.

    I am so stressed about this and all the new signings marlarky i nearly cancelled my Saturday Oil massage .. it was only the local ladyboy who saved the day by moving me to an Afternoon slot.

    The club are saying unless you give us £60 you’re second class,despite people such as I paying full price every game I attend which is most home games. Good customers getting blown off .
    I’m getting sick of this club,wonder if insiders will be digging deep 1st when the shit hits the fan financially again.
    This regime’s big thing has been spouting “unity” while dividing fans groups ,so far I’d suggest the need a new dictionary

    Nail on the head with this post.

    Splitting the fan base on the promise of access to a few scraps of info , photos with players and being in the “in crowd” … some have been getting away with this for a long time without paying for the privelage… Maw PD the Ironarmy guys etc

    Just how the club can caryy on pushing the unity agenda with this latest brain fart of an idea that really is just another money grab like the pitch squares to add to the countless others.

    I took off my SUFC charitable donations hat quite a while ago when fan groups mostly Unity Group started to spend the funds raised on things other than the club such as parties .etc

    Much the same as Ogle coming back dont get this Hurst move either..

    Reasonably happy with Brennon , Howe n Richards signings but look lightweight up front AND without the Roberts effect last season and the recurring injuries to DW was hoping for something other than Hurst.

    Cant see anymore signings except MAYBE A trialist and later loans but will have to wait for PD to offer his “inner circle” titbits prior to anything happening.

    Is this the club’s attempt at the content side of the FC100 offering? I don’t mind them trying to monetise, but I have 0 interest in behind the scenes content or videos of a group of blokes running up and down a training field. I’m sure they will get some sign ups though.

    Yep .. agree
    like the new site but they can stick the 6 quid a month pocket rifling scam where the sun dont shine .. UNITY , WHERE IN THIS TOGETHER ..what a load of tosh.

    Seems the Ogle signing is pretty much splitting the fan base in half with regard to it being

    a) Ogle is such a fantastic player that will fit strengthen the defense thus so hailed as a great bit of business by “golden balls” AB who knows what hes doing.

    b) An average player with injury concerns that really isnt needed as already well covered at RB position thus so a waste of an already tight budget and bad business by “5 @ the back” Butler who is out his depth.

    So which are you ???? … for the record im just swinging towards B depending where Butler plans on playing Rose (midfield) and JB.

    Time will tell.

    Saw a mock up of a new Scunny kit on the FFBP and if its accurate its a belter absolutely fantastic design and back tot he proper CnB colours after straying away slightly last season.

    I would say that this week has been a solid week of transfers. We’re still a little off where we need to be in terms of depth, but this has been a positive week, and much needed after the previous week.

    IMO 3 very good signings in Brennon , Richards and Howe but still need another 3

    Not enthused by barrows n Campbell offered new gigs

    The over positivity on the FFB page is very premature with some already fueling up HMS piss the league and talk of a knighthood for AB.

    im sticking with my Mid table prediction.

    Good news AWG, Manchester United Legends will play Scunny Legends at GP on 2nd August.

    Pathetic money making stunt rather than trying to push for a big side as a open new pitch finalee friendly ..
    The old fat guys probably told to wear plimmies not damage the pitch ..

    i very much doubt that we could land a player the calibre of Roberts any time soon .. if i recall correct wasnt he a Hilton era signing ?? if so then that is one thing positive to come out of Mr Hiltons brief stay.
    Slim pickings , bottom ov the barrel , Sunday morning left overs are possibly what we are looking at if Brennon and Richards are the marque signings.

    Richards has a bit of height to him.
    Nice to see.

    Errrr…so had Mark Beck….

    Be nice to have a bit of height in the middle for a change.

    My Ex mother in law had a bit of height and weight to her in fact was built like a water buffalo and packed a mean right hook on the rare occasion she could catch me .. alas she is 78 now but was on par with Beck in her footballing days… so not worth AB calling.
    Never forgive her for murdering n eating my pet pot bellied pig Perry ..begining of the end that was.

    IMO
    just looking at whats in the building already and what signings still needed budget allowing not inc loans later.

    Keepers Jones .. + new signing as Campbell needs to be out on loan again
    LB Denton n Horton ..ok
    RB Rose Starbuck Barrows ok
    CD Evans JB + new signing(s) + 1 possibly 2 cover injuries
    MID Rowley Beestin Richards + 1 cover injuries to Beestin
    Wingers Jones n Brennon ok
    ST Whall n Howe + 1 cover for injuries then loan TSF or Farrel later hopefully

    So at least 4 or 5 more signings needed …am i dreaming ?????

    The Jordan Richards signing seems good business .. Ewing replacement ??

    Not sure why Barrows gets another season unless its to move into the AB staff side later as IMO he isnt up to NL level.

    Like to a see a big strapping quality central defender come in to pair up with Evan or JB

    How many RBs do we need Rose n Starbuck , Barrows backup .. so this Ogle rumour is a tad strange add to that hes been out injured most of the time.

    Must be another signing incoming as PD has proclaimed thus so on the FFB page

    Got to laugh the club only want to take on another sales executive to sell yet more sponsorship deals.
    And there was me thinking we had no money (well from what most posters tell us on here) seems we’ve loadsa money to bring in non playing staff.

    Having just seen the ad for a club sales EXC i was thinking similarly AWG .. for a business that is so skint it needs constant outside fundraising and with failure or success solely based on performances on the pitch is it absolutely necessary for extra non playing staff …lets get the squad sorted first

    “I’m struggling to understand some of the outrage”

    I wouldn’t call it outrage, it’s more annoying than anything. I get that gathering sponsors is a way for the club to increase funds, but every other day they are seeking sponsors.

    It’s getting a little silly and repetitive now.

    We’ll be collecting the rain water on the pitch this coming season and sell it off in shot glassess next.

    Not seeing any outrage just fans commenting on how the club seem to have this blanket coverage re sponsorship which does drift into over kill territory at times.

    Any funds coming into the club are desperately needed and how ever and who ever they arrive from doesnt bother me (unless a criminal entity) …

    Any light hearted tongue in cheek ideas on Mr Sparks next sponsorship gig ???
