Does anyone have the link for today’s Cup Draw ?  And what number we are

I see the club has received a massive grant ( in excess of 70k) for ground improvement at The Walks . Also that the B&G Trust had pledged 4K towards this effort as well.  I was on the understanding that this 4K had been handed over weeks ago and not just a pledge. Why the delay ?

Fantastic news and all credit to the bodies who  did the leg work to obtain this grant, which I assume was the steering committee formed this year.

Does this mean the upshot is the massive uplift in gate receipts can be spent on squad strengthening  ?

Will the Club be announcing that this now will not be happening this year and the reasons why ?  I thought this was a bright new tomorrow for the Club.  It does seem we are making a habit of these false dawns.

What a fantastic start to the season we have enjoyed.  No one could have seen that coming. How has this incredible start affected the fans expectation level ?  Are we going to be happy now to just be able to stay at this level or has everything gone up a level and now feel we should be aiming for a play-off place ?

Just listened to IC and sure he is of course playing it down.  Feet firmly on the ground etc.  However he also said after Saturday ‘they’ will all sit down and see where we go from here.  Could we read into this that the squad might need a bit of help and maybe one or two could be coming in ?

The Chairman has to be totally thrilled with the backing the fans have given the team with an average of over 1100  now.  Can only see this growing.  Plus with the publicity this start has generated it could be the local business community might want to get involved.

We also have the FA Cup coming which a decent run will come with gate revenue and decent prize money.   

All very positive vibes for the future.  Will be interesting to see if the Chairman wants to stick or twist in the next few weeks.

What do the rest of you think ?

Loads of these being produced now, some good some not so.

Sunderland till I die was excellent as was the one on Man City. Class of 92 as well. Just finished one on Leeds of last season called Take is Home.  There was another new one out last week 90 mins based on 5 National
League Managers at the business of end of last season.   One of the Clubs was Harrogate Town with
ex Linnet Simon Weaver. 

All these got me thinking.  Wouldn’t be surprised if BT or Netflix would look a little further down the food chain and where better an upwardly mobile Club with a great Manager and charismatic Chairman
With a little bit of a dodgy past.

Any suggestions ?

First casualties of the new season In The NLN.  Bradford Park Avenue have sacked their Manager after 2 games ( both 5-0 defeats.  One being at home to Guiseley).

On the subject of Guiseley they are the only team with a 100% record after just 2 games.  Could be a tight League.

Guiseley away.   I’m gonna go with a 2-2.  Marriott and Kelly

First friendly, with the Reserves away at Thetford.

Is there any news on players with the Reserves ?  New signings, players that have departed etc.  Or is it very much as you were from last season ?
