If you look at his league (not non league like half of our players) appearances and goals there is definitely a good player in Hurst. Personally I think he’s a good signing bearing in mind our lack of finances.

I just tried it again and now it doesn’t give the number of members, so they’ve removed that this morning I wonder why….

Just listened to the owner interview .
From George – Pitch was big project with new drainage, new sprinkler system . 10 year guarantee with hybrid surface. Hope to generate extra income from pitch. New groundsman taken on. Currently no chairperson of the community interest company that own the ground. We’ve still use of the car park for next 12 months.
Not generating enough money so still making a loss but success on the pitch will hopefully improve that.
From Michelle – Lee Collison brings financial experience. EFL loan still over £1 million. EFL want club to sign up to a wage cap but Michelle says they won’t be doing that. Playing budget increased from last season by about 20% which makes us mid table compared to rest of NL. Season ticket sales up from last season. Some kind of joint club open day combined with British Steel gala planned for this summer.
Fanzone coming sometime this year.
Sad that Roberts went but understandable.
Disappointed that Ewing went to club in same league, Michelle negotiated a sell on clause if he leaves FGR. Club won’t stand in any players way.
Possible ladies team of some sort. Academy is too expensive until we are in EFL.Any info from the Butler interview and Michelle’s please can’t receive it where I am.
Basically, don’t panic signings on the way. Paid a fee for a yet unnamed player. Want to improve on where we finished this season. Took the piss about Ewing going to FGR saying he’ll get squad number 117.
Wants some more experience, will try different formations in preseason, can’t use pitch as an excuse anymore.
Winger having a medical today. Sounds like Altrincham are interested in Howe but no deal done. AB thinks Brogan needs more experience and game time, hence he was released. Barrows, Jones, Campbell, Shipstone still to sign. AB and Muzzy rate both keepers. Kyle Hurst probably coming, has been offered a contract. We will be playing in the National League Cup.
That’s about it, I’ve not listened to the Michelle one yet.1 user thanked author for this post.
I can live with Ewing, Westbrooke, Roberts or in fact any of them going. Unfortunately it’s welcome to reality. We can’t compete with the big spenders in our own league and never will until someone with money to burn turns up and decides to burn it with us.
I’m glad the club aren’t breaking the bank on any of these characters and I don’t blame any of them for taking the money elsewhere.2 users thanked author for this post.
The EFL hoped that Boro would win the semi final and the problem would go away. Now the EFL hope that Hull will win the final and it will mostly go away.

We ran out of steam a few weeks ago when Farrell went back to Barnsley. Did well to get past Southend but Rochdale didn’t have to do anything special today, 2 goals gifted to them on a plate.

Ref was horrendous for both sides, particularly second half. Female assistant bailed him out a couple of times, notably when he was going to give Southend a goal kick for an obvious corner.
Sour grapes if they’re moaning about Whitehall and the ref.1 user thanked author for this post.
Tricky thing about our team rootshallbloke is that if they all turn up on the night, they can be very very good. We’ve seen it.
Worrying thing for us is we haven’t seen it for a long time.3 users thanked author for this post.
I would say I’ve been a consistent supporter of Andy Butler football wise on this site so I don’t think there’s an anti-AB pile on. In fact I quite enjoyed that Hartlepool game.
If he’s so thin skinned that someone shouting in the stands has got into his head enough for him to identify who it is and want them removed from the ground then it’s a poor situation.
What are they going to do if hundreds start to boo or chant something against Butler one day when things aren’t going so well ?
Bhuna’s dad shouldn’t be telling stewards to “F off” but surely, as others have said, it didn’t need to escalate into a ban. I would suggest someone from the club above Butler could have gone to speak with them and negotiate an apology and truce.
Also I think awaywego is right you can’t put any meaning on it being a lady steward whilst not want the shouting person to be referred to as an oap or elderly. If it was a male steward there’s no difference.1 user thanked author for this post.
There is Butler’s side, but he is the professional in this scenario and I don’t think he can have his cake and eat it.
When there are fans referring to others on publicly viewable social media as parasites and another making bad taste cancer comments and still being lauded by the club then in my opinion they are on thin ice too.3 users thanked author for this post.
In that case, pathetic – from Butler.

What are you expecting to see ? It’s a game in the National League, they were 3 days after a 7-0 whipping and we were basically as good as in the playoffs.
Roberts had an off day but he never stopped attempting to attack a team with virtually every player back in the box. Kouogan had an excellent game in their defence and their other centre half ran himself into the ground. Pat Jones looks good, so does JB, Howe almost scored with his first touch, keeper Jones looked confident, enjoy the ride.* for the information of anyone reading this I fully respect 64’s opinion but disagree on this occasion * (I also fully understand 64 probably won’t respect my opinion but I can cope with that without crying.)

As someone who doesn’t use FB or X, it does seem wierd. Obviously I get to see what’s on here and screenshots etc. I don’t get what the problem is . I don’t watch or listen to Iron Hour due to their associations and behaviour with Hilton, I don’t follow Unity and Maw because of the stuff he posted (parasites etc).
If PD or facebook groups or unity groups don’t like what is on here, don’t look – it’s easy !1 user thanked author for this post.
