    Have to buy it for other reasons – family live elsewhere so have to send certain items. Then they get forwarded to New Zealand where old friends moved to decades ago.

    Sad thing is the ending of nostalgia, especially the items on old IRON items.

    But will agree it is a vastly overpriced poor excuse of journalism. Remember the days when the Star was going – used to get village news, all local sports and actual stories from the area.

    If Swann has so called stepped down who makes the decisions with managers?

    He hasn’t stepped down ! He may have stepped back into the shadows but what he says goes !

    He said he would get the team out of Division 2 – he did that with ease !!
    Perhaps his target now is to get us out of the National League !

    Regarding the manager – well he needs 10 games with a new squad HE picked, but he wouldn’t have been here for me. Last season we seemed to select to give in and that was shocking. We needed a manager who knows non-league football and someone who wants to actually become a league manager.

    Would be great if the takeover gets completed at any point soon…. But in the meantime it might be an idea to exercise a little caution with written words regarding the current owner to avoid any legal issues. UTI.

    Well said. The EGO will be watching for any slip. Re-read what you have written before posting.

    Each person made their decision based on what they thought.

    When the EGO has gone then real advances will be made in many areas. This will result in better crowds and allow increased revenue to be reinvested instead of wasted on the KDt’s of this world.

    I will start with wanton optimism [usually do]. I do not expect to hear of targeting in any game, I expect to go for a win in every game. If the manager adopts negativity it will only end one way – badly !

    The sky is the limit provided the manager sticks to what our team does for every game. If he sets up to cope with others ie: Targeting – then problems will occur and no higher than 10th.

    Go for it every game and top 3 could be on. But it depends on what Mr Hill does. A couple of strikers may be in the offing but all will have to see if that happens.

    All I do ask for is when any of the acad or 1st year pro’s play stick with them they will need your help. Best to all for next week, for those who travel please be safe.

    The problem with Mr Swann was he knew it all ! At an early Swann Style Forum he said he didn’t accept or trust any suggestions that could help the club ! That people will want something for it ! It deteriorated from that point onwards.

    In it and looking forward to pitching our respective football knowledge in a whole ‘New’ world.

    Going to be fun. Remember this helps Matt run the Forum so hope all from last season and previous seasons join and rejoin. YOUR website needs YOU and of course the ridiculously low sum of £10.

    So much fun ahead.

    Keith will be looking to give his squad game time add the heat factor and he will utilise all down to the academy. Poulter and Fleming need time and working with the 1st team they will be ok when they get a few minutes here and there. The signing of Butterfield is a masterstroke he will explain what they need to work on so when the passes arrive they will know what to do.

    Could actually be a marquee signing. His experience invaluable in helping the young talent coming through.

    Perhaps this has helped him make the decision.

    Sounds as though he had a good 55mins today. McMahon in interview with Chris Sumpter said he joined trained to get his fitness any decision to make an offer will be down to Mr Hill but one hasn’t been made yet.

    Sargents have been gone for decades – or so I thought.

    Another childhood memory lost 😞

    If they are still going I know the recipe isn’t what you knew.

    But I do know where it is, it is with the family – trust me.

    Cam Wilson could do that role. Not scared and will attack defences, make runs etc.

    From memory didn’t Jacob escape a red at GP when with Barnsley with an horrendous tackle near the tunnel ?

    Don’t see a massive problem with players training with the club or playing in friendlies, its not like we are offering them 3 year contracts is it? No harm in having a look in a training session I bet there a few diamonds out there waiting to be unearhted.

    With you Pat O’Cake. Sometimes when allowed to train with higher level players and a tougher training ethic may be what he whas he wished for. Remember Duane Holmes ? Came here and now having realised the opportunities he got back at Huddersfield.

    Nothing to lose for me.

    Sam peplow is a LB/LW so appears to be a versatile player which we’re going to need this coming season. Peplow did fairly well when he came on.

    Anybody know if Ledger, Rochdale young RB or that GK are still around ?

    Does read like Keith wants Peplow. In his post match he has said he “..looking forward to developing him as a player”.

    £600 quid a week is better than being on benefits. Make him an offer

    Looking at one of the Middlesbro’ goals we still need a keeper so as you say make him an offer.

    The EGO who wanted to play Football Club Owner controls everything even now.

    Says he wants to sell it but does he ? The ego may be scared that the club could be a success if someone else runs it. Although not difficult, just get the fans involved again and really engage and club will be on the rise.

    Will be doing it usual way if that is ok ?

    Could I fail twice and have 2 teams, to do that do I need to register twice or can you do it ?

    Hopefully you get new owners who are actually fans of the club like we have.

    We watched our club decay for 20 years and if his masterplan for the next few years had come to fruition we would have been gone, probably starting a phoenix club.

    Theres always hope and when (hopefully soon Swann relinquishes control, you will get some people in who love the club and not just use it as a play thing)

    When this happens the fans will return no doubts.

    We have done in 9 years what took you 20 years so we are twice as good at failure than you were.

    I would think in those trialists he will have a couple of possibles. Also would not be surprised if a keeper was being kept secret. Unless of course wonder boy has been in training !!

    As usual the EGO does not like people to gain any enthusiasm, been like for the last 9 years.

    There are players in National League North on £500 a week – a manager was berating what players are demanding !! Certainly know one club is paying £600 a week at that level.
