Story in the Athletic alleging Hilton has conviction for Fraud under one of his previous names.
Don’t know the detail as I don’t use paywall publications on principle.

Could you run that by me in English?
A non exhaustive analysis of abandoned matches suggests the result stands only when the home side is losing and have some culpability in the cause of the abandonment.
Examples of this are floodlights failing, fans on the pitch or red carded players refusing to leave the field. I did not find any precedents of games abandoned due to weather conditions only not being replayed.

Thought I saw Barrows there yesterday.
Also Ogle had a chat with the physio when he came off and disappeared down the tunnel. May be nothing but Barrows would be the obvious replacement.
Credit to Cygnet for getting so many Bru accounts ready and waiting.
That was the moment I realised Swann had totally lost the plot. Signing Perch on £4k a week.
Perfect example of a utility player – could play equally badly in a number of positions.
Totally out of character we did see him score 2 wonderful goals. The one against Exeter and an even better one against us playing for Mansfield.

At least he will be too busy to annoy bartonscorpion on Humberside.

Not until the oil runs out.
Our government on our behalf sells billions of pounds of arms every year to the Saudis and many other middle east regimes.
We let them buy our football clubs without much of a question from the fans of those clubs.
Then we get self righteous about a footballer topping up his pension. Who is the biggest offender here?
There are lots of examples in football of the manager with the largest budget winning feck all.
I am normally totally against fielding weakened teams in all but the tinpot cup. However, the combination of only 1 automatic promotion spot and no reserve or U-21 games means our squad players have to get some game time somewhere.
Real shame about Roberts but probably explains the potentially expensive loan deal for Smith.
I would think it is safer to keep Roberts (and Clunan if he is OK by then) for the FA cup game the following week.
Assume Jimmy will start with a team of squad players that need match fitness in that game which is much less important than League games this season.
Buxton clear at the top of the form table if you take it over the last 4 games. Scoring lots of goals too.
Could be our toughest test so far.
Good footballer and always put a shift in. RIP.

We’re back at the top of the league though which must be even more annoying than damp hands.

Rather than replacing Wilson/Sembie Ferris I think he is going to have to fill the Scales position for now. Assume Scales will get a 3 match ban for that red card and Beeston/Clunan unlikely to be back anytime soon.
In the 2 you missed Awaywego we were the better team, played well and achieved deserved and fairly comfortable wins.
I was impressed with Dean and the teams reaction to the Curzon performance and result.
At Curzon we played at too slow a tempo, midfielders and full backs rarely broke the line in support of the forwards and we did not drive at the defenders with the ball. Against Scarborough (probably a better side than Curzon) we did all 3 things much better.
It’s promising the coaching team identified the problems and had them fixed 2 days later.

Donald Trump. Ready to Make America Hate Again.
Quick summary for those short of time.
Everyone was wrong apart from 64.

What happened today was exactly what David Hilton predicted would happen when he told those present at the February fans forum that Swann had ceased channels of communication.
Hopefully common sense will now prevail though it is my opinion that we saw little of that in the 10 year tenure.
It would be great if personal agendas could be put aside or at least find different outlets for speculation dressed up as facts.

We are at home so one holding midfield player is enough. Shrimpton is good enough and mobile enough to do that job and play quick simple passes (ala Clunan) to get us going. Butterfield and Scales should be further forward as Ferrite says with Butterfield picking passes to the front 3 and Scales who should be making forward runs with whichever of the Danny’s gets picked.
Denton back to left back for me as he is more positive in forward positions than Kelly has demonstrated so far.
Sembie Ferris and Wilson to join the Danny up front. Time for a bit more end product from those two.
3rd Saturday away game out of 4 does not help. The Alfreton game will make it 4 out of 5. Obviously a Sinclair Z80 used for NLN fixtures.
We’ll probably get drawn away in the FA Cup the week after.
As Ozzy Osbourne once said “Of all the things I’ve lost I miss my mind the most”.

August 18, 2023 at 10:48 pm in reply to: 09/08/23 – County Court Judgement – £1,547.00 – Case No. K5AA1W08 #269799So we get to have a leaving party at the Scarborough game then.
Mr Swann would have to be a complete idiot to agree a sale without proof of funds.
Mmm.

Just found a site with NPL match details and Ilkeston only played their first league game on Saturday. 3-1 away win. Barrows played but no Sembie Ferris.
Jimmy said Roberts was going to have a scan tomorrow. He didn’t look particularly sharp in the pre season friendlies so even if he gets the all clear tomorrow it could be a minimum couple of weeks before he is starting. Sembie Ferris had a couple of friendly appearances for Ilkeston after his surgery but had no pre season games with us. Don’t know if he has appeared in the league for Ilkeston.
Thanks 64. Just needed the clue.
Very good.
I hope to understand one of your cryptic posts one day 64.
Today’s is another one wasted on me. -
