Is StuMaw running this, it’s really just a big footy scratch card… but with no chance of winning anything.
£15.6k towards a £50k to £350k project.
Tesco… every little helps.How about linking the GPS the players wear to mini flexi ‘screens’ on their backs – every time the player moves in to a new sector… the sponsors name is illuminated on the screen on the players back
Witchcraft.
Ps – I’m guessing our expenditure on this will be at the lower end of the scale.

‘New idea for Attis ants music festival using Rene’s plot…’
It’ll make a nice little veg plot.

Can I sub let it during the summer to camping enthusiasts? ;-)

Well, he seems to be playing with a smile on his face now that he’s playing in his position (No9) and scoring goals again.
I may add, scoring goals in a struggling team!
Hopefully he’ll continue to find the back of the net for them in the remaining games and present Stan & Michael Sc(h)ofield with a nice ‘problem’.
Better still, if he’s recalled for the play offs and he ‘Prison Breaks’ us out of this league.Over to you Dec!

Alty made their own from some bits & bobs left over from Robot Wars!

The last time they won at home was Boxing Day!
6 goals from their 6 league games since then.
4 defeats and 2 draws in those same six games.
They’ve taken just 1 point from their last 6 games and only 4 points from the last 30 available!
We’re W2 D2 L2 from our last 6 away games.If we don’t beat these, then…
I’m going:
Truronians 1-5 Scunthorpians @ 66/1
Truronians 1-6 Scunthorpians @ 100/1
£1 on each!1 user thanked author for this post.
That’s before you think about the playing budget and re-establishing an academy.
No.
Wealthier owners or additional opulent owners needed.
Current squad is sub standard.
A complete squad overhaul would be required for L2
Could the current owners finance that … outright … or … with more loans?
It’d be like trying to nail jelly to a wall in L2.
Consolidate, strengthen, continue rebuilding.
If we’re still selling scratch cards and having bucket collections – then we aren’t L2 quality.
Thoughts?I wouldn’t bother with an Academy.
They are for the elite clubs with the finances, facilities, infrastructure and staffing to operate.
You can’t operate an academy on a borrowed shoestring!A more efficacious route would be to install a reserve team.
Somewhere for any players returning from injury to achieve match fitness.
Somewhere for those not in the starting 11 plus subs to get match times.
It allows for 11 v 11 (all pros – the occasional apprentice could still be 15 years of age when he commences his program on July 1st) practice games, tactical / formation development, phases of play, 5 v 5, 6 v 6, 7 v 7 training “tournaments” etc
Most managers have a very short life span and want the finished article. They haven’t got the time for an U16 to come through and break in to the first team; lest alone an U9!Then there’s the Goddens & Woottons – released before they’d being allowed to grow in to their bodies and become men and footballers. We all knew that they were goal scorers – but first team managers want the ‘light switch’ players, the finished article.
The majority of (small club) first team managers have no interest in the academy – as they are too focused on hanging on to their jobs and returning 3 points from the next game.
Which, if you’re a hire & fire club with no real Club philosophy & culture, surrendering to the wants & demands of every short term incumbents cries then it’s a pointless exercise.The IPPP is a bog or treacherous quicksand to academies since its inception in 2012.
It grows ever more grandiose and is detrimental to small academies; they just don’t have the facilities or staff! It’s worse than school ofsted assessments / reports!Then, if you do develop a player… you get PEANUTS!
A reserve team would serve us much better… I think?

About time we got the rub of the green and a late / stoppage time winner.
Finally!

…unlike Dauch now 17 games this season without finding the onion sack.
Zero goals in 237 minutes with us.

If we continue our current ‘form’ then we could quite possibly get pipped at the post for a play off position.
It could end up really tight.I said basically this on another thread a week ago and was shot down for it.
You probably spotted it before anyone else?
It is a tad worrying.However, if we were promoted to L2… would we have the budget to survive?

We’re really struggling with the back five.
More wing(er)s than Ryanair!If Whitehall or CR10 doesn’t score then…

I’d buy Grimsby & Lincoln. Demolish both grounds and build houses on the land ;-)
