Osborne gone!

It’s been hard work recently and the work will only get harder, but should the worst happen and we end up as Torquay 24 or whatever, there is hope. Look at Aldershot many years ago when the original entity folded, they started in what was then the Ryman sponsored Isthmian League Div 3, in front of v...

Braintree v Torquay Sat 17th Feb 2024

This comes back to previous comments around the age and the day job of the semi pro in question, e.g. 18/22 or so on a min wage job who’s say at Buckland, Willand etc then you’d jump at the chance of a chance at a pro club, BUT say you are 22+ and have started a career job / trade then you may be le...

Braintree v Torquay Sat 17th Feb 2024

Re a couple of posts above, I’m sure the Worthing players are on far more than £100 a game, given their crowds over the last couple of years and local backers etc. There’ll be plenty of Southern / Isthmian league players on that and more. I would think (my opinion with no evidence) that for Worthing...

Johnson latest drivel

I’ve never liked the title of Gaffer, reminds of Bill Maynard in the comedy series. When interviewing him, we shouldn’t be pandering to his ego and referring to him by that title!

Just a personal opinion, mini rant over!

Braintree v Torquay Sat 17th Feb 2024

I agree with York Gull! Gary, they are your players etc…. If you can’t turn it around, please do the decent thing and leave, let’s face it you’ve been trying for several weeks to turn it around! You’ve had a decent managerial career with several promotions on your CV, surely you can’t need the money...

How to Form A Phoenix Club For Dummies

I agree regarding crowds, two good examples here would be Aldershot who came back in what from memory was the Ryman sponsored Isthmian League Div 3 (which doesn’t exist now following adjustments to the pyramid), at the time level 8 or may be 9? Macclesfield came back I believe in to the N W Counties...

Taunton Town.

I don’t think “Brewers Boy” was trying to deliberately condescending. I think where he was coming from was that if you have a relatively low skilled job with low’ish wages then you’d likely jump at the chance of a full time contract, however, if you have a job with decent / stable wage plus your foo...
