Think that was actually GJ

Not a CO fan so this post is not in defence of him - I am firmly in the camp that he was funding the club for ulterior motives That being said, the value of the assets have been that high long before CO took over the club. They were as high as £1.5m back in 1998, and increased by a further £1.4m in ...

Pipe down until you have something useful or realistic to say

Torquay 4-2 Aveley

More in optimism of a crowd getting behind to fire on the team, than expectation we will win. As many have said, the most excited I have been going to game in a long while

COYY!

Be interesting where this all leads. Fans of other clubs have drummed out owners with lots of money and almost without exception, those clubs have dropped like stones or disappeared altogether. Pretty sure we have been dropping like a stone already in the last few years and disappearing altogether ...

Imagine fans and the Supporters Trust wanting the club run by someone who cares, who doesn't want to develop the ground for property, who communicates with supporters and one who hasn't overseen the lowest period in the club's history.

Clearly...

Worrying times ahead - points deductions, best players will likely be sold and a potential transfer embargo?

It was at the start of the season. Christmas it was a top three finish. Now it is a min 7th finish. April despair? Why are we so shit? Compare 2024 squad with some of the players of 2018/19 that played in the national league south. Some real quality players back then for this league. Has Gary Johns...

Braintree 3-1 Torquay

WestLondonYellow has a good point, fans and CO keep banging on about these MILLIONS he's put into the club?, really?,I think this figure isn't right, it's not on transfer fees is I?, the two FA cup tv games with gate receipts would of recouped a bit, plus previous other seasons to this one where we...

Has anyone seen the evidence of this £7million injection that's been put in, ie an official financial report with balance sheet and breakdowns. On Companies house, I've looked and I can't see the evidence, not that that means it doesn't exist, but i cannot find it. What i did find was the Osborne h...
