Or the Alvin Stardust appreciation society

The stadium has a £1.6 m loan set against it , how does that work when it's Council owned ?

Congrats to Step 4 Gorleston for being in Mondays draw after a win on Saturday.   Think they are ground sharing at The Wellesley with Yarmouth. 

Surprised that Coulson came on with his total lack of match fitness. Looks like an attempt to wind down the Clock that went wrong.

Maybe time Coulson went out on loan for a few weeks to get back up to speed.

Getting a new signing in on a Friday and him going straight into the squad for tomorrow shows how important tomorrows FA Cup game is to AL and the Club.   Could be suggested a Cup run is pivotal to how this season pans out. In terms of finance.

Both Culverhouse and TW took the Club on decent Cup runs and ultimately a decent season.  Only have to look what happened under Hughes last season and an early FA Cup exit cost him his job, in effect. Season was a near disaster.

Welcome aboard Worksop.  How's ya season looking ? Have you got a decent 9 ?   

Looking at how many goals Fletcher Toll has notched at Corby this season maybe we should have tried harder to get him onboard, and not let Setch nip in and get him.

AL has hinted in a couple of post match interviews that he was expecting more from Bart but wasn't seeing it in training.  So no surprise as I get the feeling with AL it's his way or the Highway.    With the money freed up with Bart and Issacson leaving then must be something coming in.

It's all well and good to say we need a striker in.  We sure do but we need a striker in who is going to hit the ground running.  Then again nearly every team and all levels need one of those.   

A.  You need to find one

B. The Club he is with will need to let him come (transfer fee ?).

C.  Goalscorer cost the most so have we got the budget to bring one in ?

Not a straight forward process.

Good points there Wisher.    However when we are told we have the best Manager in this League, backing from Asia, an owner who wants Football League, then the expectation  For many maybe we be huge. 

Let's not forget we also have one of the highest admission charge in the NLN should be not expect/demand to be entertained ?

Looking at the attendance table posted by admin, then if we continue the trend we have at the moment then this season could be the 3rd highest average in the last 40 years.  So that says to me the fans are doing their bit.

Good point on the road that one.    We are sitting 9th.  Think most would have taken that at the start of the season with a new team being moulded together.

Sorry Linnet, meant to say 'without' have edited

Maybe the owner has had to sell another Landrover

We coped well at home v Warrington without Margetts. Plus as a team we must be much more bedded in than we were on the opening day.

Take a point on the road today.  Need to be competitive in every game and no repeats of Alfreton

Seems to be a feel good factor around the Club with gates well up on last season and SC keeping a low profile.   Are the two connected ?

Now it's down to AL to keep that feel good factor with  the playing side.   No one is expecting the team to win every game but certainly be competitive and no slip up against lower level opposition.
