Any news on club info, injury updates etc, just something to keep the interest ticking over, hows Josh doing, or anyone else whos injured, apathy reigns supreme in this club, JUST SOMETHING. Yes, i know the Banbury game has been postponed and Mafeking has been relieved, news is what we want, not history.
A club. Do we still have one?

Decent players should be able to play on any surface. I use to play on an artificial surface at the Queens School Academy for Young Gentlefolk in Wisbech ( mind you I was never a decent player).
Seriously, great idea. Redirect the expense of training in Ely to training on an artificial pitch in Lynn.
Go part time and have players who work for a living and play/train on a Tuesday/Saturday. Those who
are part time seem to do quite well. E.g. Southport who travelled 5 hours on a coach and scored
four goals against a full time team!. No expensive overnight hotel
Stay!
Pleased match is postponed today. Didn't fancy frozen footballs!
Coastal: I'm in complete agreement. At our level part time makes so much more good sense, not least financially but also because it is more likely to attract those who actually play for the love of the game? As an aside, i was though not aware that there are any Gentlefolk in Wisbech?!

A great player, coach, manager, club owner, hotelier and good all round bloke, with a wry sense of humour. El Tel also found time to co author best selling crime fiction and he also had a decent singing voice! A multi talented character who made a huge contribution to football. RIP Terry.

The manager apparently warned the players that Tamworth were dangerous from set plays, yet we allow them to score three goals from them. So what the hell do these full timers do on the training pitch? In fact what exactly are the benefits of being full time at our level???
With regard to the chairman seeking outside investment. What exactly are the assets that might attract a legitimate investor? Still, with Christmas imminent there might be someone out there looking to purchase a cowboy outfit as a present?

I guess this award has a lot to do with the young lady, Jodie Hopkins. Been very impressed with the way she has embraced the work in the Community. All credit to her.
I may be wrong about this, but didn't she leave the Club a few weeks ago?
I also heard that she had left the club? Irrespective of that she has been one of the very few positives within an amateurish and at times pathetic off field operation.

It sounded positive that SC has a masterplan which will hopefully see the Club working to a break even model next year. Not sure if this something new he has come up with or the idea of summer concerts will be going ahead. If it is something new has he lost interest in the concert idea ?
Baldrick had a cunning plan and that led to disaster but then again he didn't have a table?

Does anyone know how many other teams in our league are full time?
Does anyone know what the definition of being full time at Lynn really is?
What hours are put in each week in Ely?
A a general rule, surely full time means that football is your primary source of income and that your 'working week' reflects that?

It was a great result. Congratulations to the management team and players. My continuing 'argument and concerns' are not with them!

The visiting media team don't seem to be impressed with the facilities they have been given.
Or the state of the pitch.

I agree Tony the media side is all back to hit and miss. It’s like most things at the Club. Commercial side, Media. In fairness SC running a one man show he maybe has more important issues to deal with , cultivating the investment opportunities that he has on the table.
Any news on his attempts and the foriegn investors? 
Does 'the table ' actually exist, or is it a figment of someone's rather vivid imagination?

If it's the same Mike Alcock, i remember him as a young man, when he worked for his father who i think started with a coal delivery business in Gayton? At the time (late 1960's) we ran the Rampant Horse pub in Gayton and Mike was an occasional customer.
