I thought Reid had the best MPG?

Season ticket might be renewed given the pub players are on their way out. Feel better if this is true.

What a prospect, so he's effectively saying if we can get rid of the players we didn't have anyway we can re-sign the ones who took us on our worst winless run in twenty years at the lowest level we've ever played at. Sorry but that's just fucking stupid, does he somehow think he's going to get a different tune out of the same bunch?.

I will guarantee that some of those 'released' will be training with us and end up re-signing. Imagine the pissboil amongst the fanbase if they announced a new deal for the likes of McGahey who polled about 8% on here from fans who thought we should retain. I'm getting fucked off with the clubs lack of engagement at a pretty crucial time in the season, it's almost feels like them and us now and I really do fear for our attendances next season if there isn't a shift in mood, of course the clubs not obliged to disclose anything or even share their plans for the future but for me thats piss poor form that harks back to years gone by, It's been compounded by Mellons disastrous stints in front of the camera recently which have frankly been on a par with his touchline antics and embarrassing for the club. I'm not holding my breath - this is football after all where all business acumen goes right out of the window but what a shame it would be to start disenfranchising the fan base because they have received some criticism, it's a very dangerous game they are playing and I for one am turned off from it all.

Which is about what I said last week, he needs to suck it up and show us why he's the best paid manager in the division instead of bleating and making excuses that he and the players hide behind.

Mine expired after Fylde at home, thanks.

Awful news if true

That's about where I'm at and as of yet I've not renewed and will wait and see what the clubs next move is, I think many are in the same boat.

As you'd expect given they've lifted the title. Chesterfield generally bring about 600 to BP, I wouldn't class them as a big club at all, we are still the biggest club in that division despite being shit for 30 years.

Why wouldn't that be available to all fans then?, not looking for an argument it's just a simple question as to how the club communicates to those not part of the Foundation.

Whose 'bigger' then?. And even if you don't think it every player visiting BP sees it as that, that's why we need players prepared to give absolutely everything which I see as the main problem at the minute. Oldham fans don't really want much but one thing that won't be tolerated is lack of desire and heart.

FTFY

Is that actually true? Do you have to pay for the privilege and if so why. Makes my decision to swerve a season ticket even more easier if that's the case, when this has been mentioned before I actually thought it a joke. Whose in the exclusive club then?.

Be a good test for Couto, Pemberton and Drummond down the right flank for Macc could both play at our level at least and I suspect are interesting scouts from the EFL.

Yes I think they'll be strong favourites and probably should be given their respective budgets.

Yes it was either Brad or Paddy, they will probably confirm.

Talking of Macclesfield they would beat us comfortably at the minute, play a similar way to us with John Rooney playing the CDM role that Mcghahey has been playing, got some real quality on the flanks Tre Pemberton was quality at rightback with Kane Drummond equally impressive in front, Luke Duffy played played well on the left but he's still not quite ready for the step up, they brought him in to replace James Berry when he signed for Chesterfield. Of the others the keeper Byrne is better than what we have along with the lad who played on the left of the two centrehalf Mendy who was good on the ball and but has a mistake in him, Owalabi who I recommended a couple of years ago played upfront on his own and did a good job for the team. I think they are on the up and a crowd of about 4000 isn't too bad for that level.

And they put about 2000 on the crowd that didn't turn up, not a chance we had more than 4000 there on Saturday, they've counted me for a start and I watched the first half on telly and then drove down to watch Macclesfield v Workington.

Dallas got better with each game and joined us at a bad time really when the rest were jacking it in. We need to do exactly the same thing really and in key positions so it will be interesting to see how this seasons transfer business goes, we should of been going in for the likes of Colclough as I think wingers at this level can win you games but we had this obsession with harvesting strikers. We played Fondop and Reid throughout pre season and it looked quite promising but we've seen little of it as we've also used Nuttall, Willoughby, Norwood, Dallas, Garner, Stones which is frightening really given we signed six of them permanently for God knows how much money.

Good point, go sign Greg Olley now then Micky, I know he's only 28 but he's some player and a leader.

Is that Darren Royle I take it then?.

Surely teams like Oxford would struggle with 500 home fans if that was the case?. Be good if it was linked to revenue as we would be at a huge advantage next season.

You're generally wrong though to be fair.

Bromley (3rd) and Barnet (2nd) move straight to a home semifinal so they can't benefit anymore than that. Normally; 4th plays 7th 5th play 6th For me Alty (4th) should get the bye and play Bromley away for a place at Wembley and Solihull (5th) should host Halifax (7th) with the winner playing Barnet away. Saying that this is NL so anything is possible.

It's a fair point but I suppose the face of the football club should be showing a little more control or is it fair game now and everyone can get involved. Players have been disciplined and we've not seen them since on the back of poor choices, are we saying the manager is immune from Company policy now and can behave like some of the weapons in the stands do?, I'm not sure that's a good thing.
