Either they are funny turnstiles or Blue is extraordinarily short IF his head is going to get stuck in them. I don't think at that height he'd have got in Mick and Lenny's team.

I'm glad Micky and Lenny might be alive. I assumed Holmewood, lifestyle and attitude would have killed both before their time.

Bob's has been saying MA is on holiday so there won't be any signings till he's home. Surely the unloading process is as important as new signings anyway? I kinda wish Ricky G would just sit his time out and impress everyone in pre-season. For two seasons we've lacked pace and power and he's got (or used to have) a bit of both. How likely is it we'll sign someone as young and better? But then we'd probably never give him a START to prove himself.

Shaw Lane's demise could be good news for us. It has thrown lower reaches of the pyramid into chaos ...... so whatever the result of our FA charge they probably won't want to relegate us and add to the issues ..........

I've no objection to rumours if I'm told they're rumours. I've no objection to things being wrong in the end. I just object to being sent mysteriously to look for something that turns out not even to be there ........... when I could have stayed where I was.

Dev, the old waist height turnstiles went when we left Saltergate. We now have posh floor to ceiling ones so kids cant sneak underneath and tall people like me cant stride over.

I've never been to the Proact ............ only to away games in the South. I'd have to stay the night to watch a home game, though I'm going to do it this season. All my close relatives are dead ......... Yes come to think of it several places I've been have those turnstiles, but in my head I'm still going to Saltergate ....... even though where I used to live looks down on what is now the Proact rather than the Glassworks where I played cricket! EDIT - just realised I lied; I did go to the Proact first season.

I think Lenny and Mick moved away thats probably why theyre still alive,at least I know Lenny did ,or they may be dead and I just haven't heard.
Its a bit worrying that Carl Muggs was touted by MA as being the man to sort out the deals for offloading the chaff yet two weeks on only one has gone.
Is MA so authoritarian that no deals can be announced until he gets back ? Is it just left to him alone to bring in players or are we waiting for one out one in ? Who is doing the negotiating ?.

Having seen Muggleton keep goal quite a bit I don't know how I feel about leaving signings to him. He was a star of the future who never reached the present.

Tommy Lee? Loyal, good keeper, local hero. I do, however, wonder now whether loyalty might also have been simply no choice. He seemed at times the best keeper in the lower reaches, he had a value we thought. But we didn't know then that he was held together through his career by injections. Would he have passed the medical to move on?
