Still think my season ticket is good value and with costs rising all over the place I can understand the need to increase prices - I don't have an issue with it. Fans can't have it both ways better facilities, better players etc, it comes at a cost which the club has to meet. But that said the club ...

I reckon we'll still end up with the leftovers ☹️☹️ Our January window was poor but our summer signings were on the whole very good. Stop being such a pessimist Ron. Ollie might disagree with you about January Yes the lack of an established striker in January cost us but Ollie was a real bonus.

And very very boring.

Herbie Kane will have his pick of Championship clubs I Imagine. We beat Sunderland to Galbraith True but Galbraith played for RW at Donnie which was a massive help in getting him down here. I think the only southern club he (Kane) would come down for is Pompey. But I could be wrong he would be a go...

Cos most of our fans don’t know much about football Also tbf his performances here were generally pretty average. One might put that down to the distinctly underwhelming coaching he was receiving at the time, which will have been holding him back. Thankfully for him, others could see his potential....

Bit surprised that we’re not over the 4K mark bearing in mind the renewal window closes tomorrow

800 fans queued up trying to log in, presumably why the site is down.

Yep always a good idea to wait to the last minute.

Posh offering a new contract on improved terms, while he will still be wanted by other clubs a new contract will push up his value, good for us if/when he moves on. Posh should have sold him for £4million because now he can leave for nothing . He can't leave for nothing he's under contract until su...

Interesting news that Nigel's American mate has sold up to a Georgian billionaire who resides in Kazakhstan. Could go either way that one I think, nice to have a billionaire owner but as we know it's not just about the money. https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/sport/24324979.wycombes-new-owners-formal...

According to RW he has been offered a contract on the same money

Yeah a contract extension, see my post above.

Think he is signing a one year contract extension rather than a new contract.

Seems sensible if that's the case, it gives him security on the same terms as last season while he recovers from his surgery.

Do you have any detailed insight about the owners of Crawley town?

Try asking Hoover Attack he seems to know all about (fictional) wealthy families.

Crawley looked a very good side. Enjoyed their football they were decent and fully deserved to win.

It’s amazing that it’s this heated.

Thanks for your valuable input.

Only thing that's tragic is your terrible attempts at wumming. I haven't changed anything - I can't help it if you can't read. I said they need a few hundred more on the gate but it was you that said 300 and I pointed out that they need more than that. A 1000 on average a game required to get near t...

Mate, you literally typed: Excellent news but unless they find another few hundred on the gate every week they are going to struggle financially. You quantified it mate. 300 ain't going to do a lot it's going to cost a lot of money far more than you think, still as I say the address is "The Ch...

300 x £20 x 23 games = £138k. Small change to some local, wealthy families. So you think the difference between running a club part time in National South and full time in National Premier would be £138k a year you really are completely clueless, stick to rumour mongering. Or perhaps you could cont...
