That's where the scouts should come in. Thorough checks should always be done before any money changes hands. As the old saying goes: "Buyer beware". It shouldn't be that hard to sift out the duds, provided the proper screening is carried out. Oh yeah, you just pop along to the 20 goal a ...

I thought Telford looked a good player - but he didn't really fit our system. His L2 record is inconsistent, but he had had good seasons at that level.

According to https://www.capology.com/uk/league-two/payrolls/ the lowest budget in L2 was just over £2m/year and the highest £5/m/year. Assuming a 22 man squad for the low end of the budget range, that still works out at about £90,000/year. Obviously, within that average, there will be a big range d...

When I was on the pitch at Fylde after the game I chatted to Danny and asked him if he was staying. He dodged the question completely and replied, “My heart will always be with Barnet.” Ummm…… :*(: I would expect all the out of contract players to see what other options they have open to them. Ulti...

Does this mean that Owen Evans has gone, and that's that? I doubt it. Owen is still under contract with Cheltenham and for some reason the signing of players under contract with another club never seems to be announced until their contract has expired. If you look at last years retained message, yo...

It's going to take some time for the shape of the squad for next season to emerge, particularly given that we know some key squad members are out of contract. I would imagine that sometime this week, possibly today, we'll get a list of players who are out of contract and being released, players who ...

I though he was very poor and no better than any of his colleagues. My main complaint was that he only gave a foul if players went down (as was the case with both penalties) but he completely failed to penalise masses of Aldershot manhandling and shirt pulling (I did wonder whether Aldershot Rugby c...

L2 has the added hazard of regular 12.30 kick offs. York away on Saturday lunchtime doesn't appeal much.

York absolutely deserve it. However, Personally, I would much prefer Southend or FGR to go up because both are good away days. I'm not too keen on Vince Dale either, but it's a lovely part of the world for an away day. I guess York is too, but it's not a trip I've made often and I didn't enjoy their...

This a tough one and out of respect for this season achievements I have gone with Dean's preferred 3-4-3 formation. Alternative formations would result in some different selections GK: Evans (Phillips) RWB: Yiadom (Hendo) RCD: Bodley (Collinge) CCB: Taveres (Stephens) LCB: King (Kenlock) LWB: Glover...

I shall be looking out for the games at grounds I haven't been to - Fleetwood, Salford, Tranmere, Harrogate and hopefully AFC Wimbledon.

I think Rhys Browne at least deserves an unlucky not to make the team for 2025..... I presume his omission is purely down to a hangover

Why do people believe there is a block of seats in block B not being sold?

It looks about the same as block C in terms of size on the ticket map and all seats are greyed out

I think the reason the front rows haven't been sold might be that the seats are not there/not usable.

I've gone to the Hive directly from Heathrow on multiple occasions most recently in August when I flew in from Namibia and arrived at the Hive ten minutes from the Southend game ko. Easter Monday 2012, landed at 2.05pm at Heathrow from Colombo and was inside Underhill in time for kick off against C...
