    after loosing Fitz n feeling a tad dejected waking up this morning to Rene dream signing Dec Howe, Joey Dawson signing (know very little about him) and the Danny Whall staying things are looking brighter , all we need now is Cal Roberts to sign along with Clunan plus get a more robust bigger MF player plus keeper and we may well hold our own in NL rather than struggle.

    Well done to the club for getting these deals done especially DW on a 2 year gig.

    Slight correction there. He has signed for Blyth Town, which is a separate team from the same town.

    Just making sure all the members are up to speed Sid, well done for spotting my foo par. 5555

    You’ve been out there too long mate your brain is permanently submerged in soapy massage foam, time to come home and watch the Iron properly, down at the Attis.

    One has to fully immerse oneself in to the local culture IA henceforth Sunday is my one bathing day so a nice big tub of steaming hot foamy water and tasty crumpet has become a ritual.

    A few loose ends to tie up here before can kick back a bit, either my lad taking over the biz or selling up will mean i have time to travel so will most certainly plan to visit and obviously looking forward to getting to as many games as possible and hopefully meet a few Iron Bru members also.

    Im guessing big changes in the 24 yrs ive been away ,one thing that has not changed is my love for SUFC and the town in general.

    Back on topic .. SUFC awfully quiet on player updates apart from Cal Roberts whose in Turkey having new hair seeds planted.

    Im sure such an event would be very well attended and draw visitors from near and far possibly even better numbers than the recent weekender and make the club some income which is what utilizing the stadium is all about.
    Never heard any info re just how things turned out financially with regard to the weekender.

    Yeovil 100/1 isnt a bad bet ..new owners and big budget

    Scunny fairly priced IMO but its a funny old game and literally anyone could have a crazy season and win it.

    just had pride day parade in Bangkok ..i chose to stay in home and trim my privet.

    Call me old fashioned or what ever but all these rainbow warriors for sexuality and freedom of expression have been around for donkeys years alas more recently it seems all this gay lesbian hokey pokey has to be trust upon and rammed down the throats of all other people who are NOT aligned with the same feelings to which some may be offended .. in my case im not as men in dresses and Toms are absolutely normal here .. more so after a few tooo many pale ales on Sunday i partook in my weekly medically pescribed soapy massage i did end up choosing the wrong gender, suffice to say it was smashing fun and extremely relaxing until i got the check bin.

    massive LGBTQ population nowadays .. im guessing thats Lesbian Gay By Trans and Queers but never met one that could make a proper English fry up or dig a hole for a fence post.

    Onnee kiddin guys im a bit round the bend sometimes…. ooooo errr

    I’m in favour of her argument. Though I wonder if she’d have been so vociferous had they gone up?

    Yeah exactly that .. my agreement was more in line with the promotion system needing changing rather than feeling sorry for any specific team as all know the rules when a season kicks off.

    IMO the promotion formula could be made fairer.

    Agreed, it’s difficult to get excited about any of this.

    Unless either Truss or Joyce are potential investors into the club in which case we might see Zanetti chuck a few bob in or become first team scout or manager.

    BTW Im joking guys

    I know the paint isnt dry on the trophy cabinet door yet but i really hope SUFC are seriously looking at potential signings such as Smallwood and Kouyhar now .. lets say half of the current OOC players leave we dont want to be pecking about for the crumbs that the likes of York and Carlisle LET drop off the transfer bird table.

    Well done to Oldham , never gave up and im sure Mr Rothwell will throw a big party for the players n fans.

    One of my last away games before departing UK shores was Roots hall and yes we lost ..still a cracking day out a few glasses of orange quash in the pub on the hill overlooking the sea.

    One thing is without doubt the NLN was a hard league but the NL is getting stronger by the year and fingers crossed we can survive and consolidate.
    Carlisle, Southend, Rochdale, FGR, York, Hartlepool, Morecambe and Yeovil to name just a few who will be toughies and operating will bigger budgets … yes budgets dont always win leagues but they bloody well help a lot.

    You’d best get on with making more Thai Baht then. Just think you could have a soapy massage parlour in the Iron Bar. I’m sure that would be a money spinner.

    Selling up and retiring soon DM ..whilst i will be able to still enjoy the many cultural pleasures of Siam including a soapy massage on a Sunday i do intend on visiting the UK to see family and watch a bit of footy, alas not sure i will have enough to be a money bags investor to join the SUFC TEAM .. though i will buy merch and donate when i can.

    I did open a sperm bank many years ago but business was so hard and as time passed funds dried up … such is the aging process.

    Obviously AB should get credit for his achievements this season regardless how it happened he got us over the line just.
    I admit i wasnt a fan of his appointment and i hope he can work some magic in what will be a really tough NL, we will know more when the new playing squad is formed and even more after first 10 fixtures.

    IMO ..In WGs defense due to 5 at the back and stale negative football or not AB was very close to being sacked and the Marine game was the moment .. anyway thats watter under the bridge but i hope his jobs not in danger come October / November 2025 as that would more than likely mean we are in a relegation dog fight.

    Would rather we tried for Kouhyar anyway, who they have released.

    Agree Kouhyar should be on SUFC radar and will be snapped up quick.
    Hope the celebrations have calmed down and thoughts are fixed on sorting next seasons playing squad out pronto as until its known who is staying or going means a delay any new signings plus AB is getting wed which may mean hes away for on honeymoon rather than chasing new players.
    Seeing many other clubs signing early doors thus not scrapping the bottom of the barrel later.

    For sure , my Yeovil mad mate here is buzzing and reckons the new owner will fund big signings giving them a realistic chance of doing a Wrexham without the Hollywood sparkle.

    How Scunny could do with an wealthy investor as im under no illusions next season is going to be a really hard one to survive on a mediocre budget.

    Looks like we are keeping most of last seasons team. They didn’t perform with 5 at the back against part time teams in NLN. What makes you think they will perform better against full time teams in the NL?

    Why does it look like we are keeping most of the team ??.. most still in talks on deals , unless you have insider info its purely speculation.

    I hope the budget is lower than the Swann years, except the last 2. Maxing out the credit cards didn’t work out well. Michelle said the budget will be mid range. Might have to rely on good recruitment, spirit, organisation and luck for a good season, rather than outspending everyone.

    Agree .. but it is the recruitment that worries me ..
