And one of them isn’t even trying to have a row, just repeating some gossip heard on the Braintree terraces

All I know about Braintree is from our visit there when it seemed pretty tinpot. Didn't they only bring about 20 fans for the reverse fixture, even though it was quite a big local game for them? It was probably about a 100 but a lot of those in fancy dress they had a good time and it literally was ...

The Blackwell family who own TRBMC are not particularly wealthy

Not a national name but we’re talking generational family wealth.

The Sears number being bandied about on the terraces is staggering (to such an extent, I didn’t believe it). But being so in the know, I look forward to you confirming what it is.

But they only took £300k?

( I realise that's not the main story here).

You've heard how much Sears is rumoured to be on per week?

Going to take a massive effort to keep the management team because they will have the smallest budget in the league next season and will be in demand at bigger clubs. also Braintree can’t afford to put players on meaningful contracts so keeping the squad together will be very difficult. If the mana...

I wouldn't expect too much from that venture - most of the *checks Dunnem file* purple-haired, soup-throwing, motorway-gluing, pronoun-defying, loony left, cranks, tankies, yoghurt-knitting, purple-haired, perma-protest and other rag-tag mis-fit weirdos don't have much spare dosh to throw about, bei...

Who is he? Recognise the name.

Not sure whether to post the laughing or crying emoji.

Watched tonight, with a fully fit team we are more than a match for both.

Oh God, his missus is going to be even more insufferable.

Hang on, why is this dyed in the wool tory featuring on the Labour Watch thread?

Even someone has happy clappy and delusional as you Go f*** yourself. I dare you to meet me outside the supporters club next home game and say that to my face.

Moncur isn’t young and coming off the back of a great goalscoring season, so no. Bonne was let go for an absolute pittance. There was no way we were going to give a 3 year contract to a Col Utd reject. For every Macauley Bonne that does work out, there’s a whole cast of Drinnans, Angols, Alabis and...

No idea what that show is but was a really enjoyable watch.

Hardly mentions Richie tho, and nothing of note was said.

We got promotion back to L2. Came to say the same, we got those players on a free, they did a great job for us, won a title then moved on for free (exception of Koroma who got us a few quid) Nothing wrong with that, same as Smyth and Vigs as well from the League 2 title squad. There’s everything wr...

We also barely paid anything for them either.

Bonne, Koroma, Marvin all went to play in the Championship, Brophy League One

And we got barely anything for them in return

We got promotion back to L2.

That and the fact Marvin can’t play football.

If Simpson and Happe sign their contracts then we don't need him. If Simpson and Happe don’t sign their contracts, we still don’t need him. There’s literally no way in a million years Richie would sign Marv. Not so sure about that. Wasn’t Marvin involved in some sort of altercation at a cinema? Wel...

Bring him back home, Richie.
