    Had a glance at their site – unlucky not to come away with a point at Kings Lynn – lost to a 95 minute goal!
    They also released 4 players today – so maybe new players on the way for this Saturdays game?
    Would like to think we can follow up Tuesdays result with another 3 points :)

    One thread is about offloading players – this one about adding to an already overloaded squad.

    Don’t forget to factor in the money raised by the commercial department, it’s a tough one to figure out I know but it’s another source of money coming in particularly if a lot of company contributions come in monthly.

    Department… would that be – one man and his dog spot?

    It depends on how much the new owners are willing or able to subsidise.

    Going off the figures in the public domain- Currently, we are approximately 70k short of paying the wage bill and that doesn’t includes servicing the debt nor operational costs. It a safe assumption we are losing 100k a month.

    How long can that go on for? Crowds will not cover the costs unfortunately.

    I believe that you have just answered your own question.

    Has anything really changed?

    We still don’t have an owner that can and is willing to bankroll us.

    It looks as if we are still heading for the buffers?

    Is everything squared up now? Wages, NI contributions, pension contributions, redundancies, CCJs, creditors, HMRC?

    Rumour is a Black Friday (23rd Nov) deal will be done and we’ll all be as happy as an alcoholic on a weekend lock in at a brewery.

    I wasn’t keen on Bishop as the expert summariser.
    See how he goes, he may get better?

    Happy with the old ground.

    Perhaps if we had directors with contacts in the structural steel and fabrication businesses then in time we might be able to improve the tin can without breaking the bank.

    2 or 3 stands with pillarless roofs would make a massive difference.

    Let’s not get carried away.

    It’s a long time since the atmosphere at Glandford Park was as good as today, it was fantastic

    It sounded like it was rocking!

    That’s like betting on every horse in the grand national Rene,7 bets really.

    The takeover screwed my pre takeover bets up.

    Following the takeover, I had to re-assess.

    Knew we’d win.

    So so happy to have lost money – UTI !

    I’d done Brackley to win 2-0, 3-0, 4-0 and 3-1 at odds ranging from 16/1 to 70/1

    I’d placed the bets very early in the week before the takeover.

    Now, I’m going to go:

    Scunthorpe 2-0 Brackley

    There will be a right buzz amongst the players and supporters today.

    It feels as if the club has been saved!

    The League Cup 2nd round first leg game when we beat Chelsea 4-1 at home.
    They were running away with what is now known as the Championship.

    Agreed, the fanbase at the minute isn’t in the mood for some of Rene’s light hearted nonsense, it’s serious shit time Rene, have another beer and carry on sunbathing, there’s a good lad.

    I’d ‘worked out’ it was serious shit time 8 months ago.
    I’ve being devastated about this eventuality for a long, long time now.
    Sometimes, I wish I were an ostrich too.
