Reece Mitchell

"The concern is that he's 22 years old and barely done anything in a year and a half at Chesterfield which up to now has been his one and only club. If he cannot impress or show the right application for his first ever club, under two different managers, in front of 4 - 5,000 fans every other ...

Reece Mitchell

I've seen him a few times too and more recently than you so i'll ignore your scouting report and go on what i've seen thankyou very much and take on board what other Chesterfield fans see who go every week and who i speak with every day because i live here. You aren't the only person in the whole w...

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

In all seriousness the efforts of the last few games have probably taken their toll and the coach just rested a few weary legs and paid the price. I'm assuming there was a tongue firmly in cheek there ... ... because they're all going to have to have pull their collective fingers out of their jacks...

Fa Cup 4th qualifying round Aldershot v Torquay 14/10/17

I agree with this entirely. He is right though when he says that playing ok is one thing but we need something more to start winning games. After six games in charge we have seen the retun of some key players from injury and we still cant get over the line. The trouble is he has no idea what it is ...

Torquay v Dover Saturday 7/10/17

So it's four and a half weeks in FACT! Four points out of fifteen ~ FACT! Three points out of the previous thirty ~ FACT! You can't argue with facts unless you quote inaccurate ones! Taking your points in order: It's 39 days between 13 September and 21 October (the next time league points are avail...

Torquay v Dover Saturday 7/10/17

Soupdragon it is not 6 weeks since the new management team took over it is 3 weeks. Saturday 16th Sept was their first match in charge. If you are going to criticise get your facts straight. The new management team was appointed on 13 September. The next league game - and therefore the next points ...

Torquay v Dover Saturday 7/10/17

It remains: in six weeks, this new management team will have won just four league points. It took just two games before the players were being wholeheartedly and publicly blamed for the lack of results by a manager/coach who had said that they had clean slates, and that there was no pressure on them...

You build from the bottom up, not the top down

Arsenal may well have made a £15k contribution to the stand, but they also contribute significantly to everyday costs through the deals under which their women's and youth teams play there.

Highest and lowest TUFC away support.

stefano wrote: 18 Sep 2017, 15:46 I wouldn't mind betting that the lowest is zero, but nobody knows because there was nobody there to confirm it! ;-)
Indeed. But if no-one was there to see no-one there ... did it really (not) happen?

I still think Romford Kev's a ledge for that, though.

Highest and lowest TUFC away support.

I believe the lowest is one. Romford Kev, away at Carlisle in the days of McFarland/Saunders/around that time, I think. A Tuesday evening in a freezing cold month, so probably a January or February. I believe he drove there and back the same day/night from ... go on, take a guess. What a hero. Legen...

The Trust

Supporters denigrating the Trust piss me off. The Trust tried bloody hard to get things going and it wasn't because of the Trust that we are in this position. It was because of the sodding apathy of supporters, swallowing the David Thomas spun line that the Trust was nothing more than a glorified S...

Are GI Investing?

So ... no change there, at all. That's what they've always said: they'd purchase the freehold as part of a deal to build a stadium elsewhere. What's new?
