Re: Waving the white flag

How very dare you suggest that there might be someone out there that might want to take the club over... I'm not sure how many times it needs saying but the current chairman is the only person on the planet that can run the club... even the very idea someone could do a better job, the bloody cheeky ...

Re: Constructive ideas for Ground Development

The problem with installing an artificial pitch is that the initial outlay would take some while (probably 3 or 4 seasons to fully recoup). If we achieve promotion there would then be another substantial outlay to replace the pitch with grass again. you would probably have to remain in the National...
