I think we need clarification on what can be done with the stadium now that the train ground is being sold off. As an ACV has been listed (Asset of Community value) if we thought this gave any protection I am not so sure. As far as I can see it just give an interested party a chance to make a bid if...
Wow! Exclusive talks agreed in what three days, when asset stripping, but cannot be agreed in six months when selling the club. I have never seen Wycombe Wanderers as a rival, but if this deal goes through I will be putting them on a par with Poxford and the Swinedon. Just hadn't thought the Chairb...
Neither of which are worth anything like the same value without a functioning club. Not sure about that. If you live in the Barkham area believe me developers would jump at the chance at building thousands of houses on the training ground and I don't think they would have a problem getting that gra...
Totally understandable. Protests are happening anyway, so not sure it is the latter and don't see fans storming the pitch again unless it gets to a point where things are hopeless. Key difference here is we are getting regular updates from the person actually looking after the process and he doesn'...
The last thing Chinese owners want is to lose face. The publicity now I hope will be embaressing for Dai. I see the Chinese have now bought our famous prison as well
Selles is trying to communicate his style to the whole squad. The kids, inexperienced and fearless, have taken to it fairly easily. The first team, mostly having been managed by a succession of dreadful coaches, are struggling with it and will take more time. I do think that our back line needs who...
Sutekh Really need to work on the defence and get some organisation and consistency. Can't do it until they sort the goalkeeper out, Button should be a step up on what we currently have so hope that deal works out asap.
is this embargo different to last year then as we gave sarr a 4 year deal That wasn't an embargo, it was a business plan with tight controls. The embargo was the year before when we signed no one on more than 1 year... This we were under an agreed decision, which whilst we embargoed from signing pl...
Madejski can't afford to buy the club outright, but perhaps him and a group of local investors could acquire a majority stake in the club, maybe with fans buying a stake as well. Then the club can be run self-sufficiently, even if season tickets have to go up to pay for it. Would be great to see th...
We're not exactly short at centre-back, if there is a position for us to cut costs in then this is it. Don't really know why we are having to cut costs so much! There is no FFP in Div 1 and although there is a restriction on wage/turnover, income can be increased by the owners putting in more inves...
Watched since 1962. I think the problem we have now is that we really don't have a team at all. With all the contracts up it leaves us with probably not more than one or two decent players. We have the under 21's and let's be honest none of them have shone or stand out at all. Any re-build will depe...
Not sure If this has already been covered so apologies if it has There is no FFP in Div 1 but there is SMCP. Its has a regulation that states you cant spend more than 60 per cent of your income on wages. With a drop in income of around 6m from TV rights our overall Income will drop substantially. Ho...
Hi Watched first game v Southampton in I think 1957. Regular since 1962 which was H Bristol City. Probably only missed about 5 or so games at most at home during 60 years. Moved to Chichester, Bristol,Bradford and Manchester but still came back for home games. Had season ticket from around 1974. Vis...
I'm really surprised at the ambivalence on here from some about losing Rino. He works hard, brings energy, bursts forward, has a willingness to tackle and to get the ball and move it on and has been sacrificed to play in many different positions. He may never be a 'star man', but he's always consis...
