Impact of a Cup run
So Dave's notion of any prize money earned would probably be going into Osborne's back pocket is way off the mark or something nearer the truth ? Imho, I'm with Dave on this one. We can only surmise; no-one knows for sure except that there are pre-agreed business plans that the National League use ...

Torquayunited v Billericay Town 3/11/18
Also now we are advocating playing Regis! Read carefully what I posted instead of jumping on the sad old bash merse/bash Owers bandwagon..... I clearly stated that Johnson was still trying to extend a two-nil advantage rather than shut up shop. I have not stated that Owers is a better manager than ...

Simonb asks, is orange a fun way to.......
As an FA initiative this summer, the sin bin applies to yellow cards shown for dissent and sees players leave the field of play for ten minutes. Over 1000 clubs were contacted and asked whether they would consider being part of the trial so some leagues are using it and some aren't. The technical te...

Torquayunited v Billericay Town 3/11/18
A certain Mr A Merson ( and who is more qualified to know with the amount of the NLS watched by him ) warned us all , way before we,were relegated last season, that if we ended up in this division we would need as a priority FIT FOR PURPOSE PLAYERS to have any chance of getting out of the division ...

Truro City end groundshare
[b...'professional football is ruthless so why hand your main protagonists an advantage even before a ball is kicked, stop being such a powder puff nobody remembers who comes second.[/b] It's the dichotomy between what is desirable and what is necessary isn't it... Desirable not to compromise the i...

...the best way to deal with these situations is to call the offenders 'Out' by naming and shaming them. From little acorns do great oaks grow... Verbal abuse and interference with the manager doing his job at Slough Assaulting the manager at Evesham and general anti-social behaviour Escalating dis...

There are people out there who know these imbeciles, do the right thing & name & shame them. I agree; and at the same time forecast you will see them again at Truro (if they are allowed back in their own ground by then) Chippenham and Bath...nowhwere else for the simple reason it's too far ...

If the smaller clubs at this level of football think they can just cream in the extra revenue without investing in stewarding and food and drink then more fool them... It is just this level of small-time naivety that morons will take advantage of; go to a bigger club with more professional set-ups ...

Dean Edwards was acting in an act of his own income preservation and conned a group of well-meaning supporters into 'saving' something the 'blessed Bristow' had tired of... At least half of them bailed out on receiving the due diligence report and half of the remaining rump soon quit having fallen ...

It's not a joke; it's a revenue stream...
No-one's asking you to call it anything; it's what the club accrue from it that is important.

Spot on there on all counts MellowYellow... Even when I was at the Club back in the mid-seventies and early eighties, the brief was to make the business sustainable to take it away from benevolence. With the very limited facilities (far less than what is there now) a thriving lottery, car boot sale...

That would still be a capital venture though wouldn't it... Venture capital funds are invested in early-stage companies in exchange for equity, this is exactly what Osborne did when he acquired the Club. Venture capitalists take on the risk of financing risky start-ups in the hopes that some of the...
