Re: Charlie Hasler.

Best pitch in the football league under him, best wishes Charlie And I might be wrong, but turned Arsenal down to look after their pitch. I always thought it was Wembley he turned down? Hope he makes a speedy recovery. It was definitely Wembley. There were newspaper articles and bits on the local T...

Re: Jacksonville Shooter

Hardly, too many people in the UK possess firearms unnecessarily, rarely use them legitimately or clean them ( cleaning is part of the maintenance regime). Many gun clubs have weapons you can hire so I wonder if there could be a better way of reducing gun ownership here. There have been hundreds of...

Re: Nigel Travis interview

The only time Nigel said fans were cheating the club was with respect to illegal streaming, not regards eating elsewhere. I accept he did say that eating elsewhere was taking revenue away from the club, which could have been better worded. Ironically the supporters club is always bursting at the se...

Re: MY VERDICT

You can’t just rid of players who are still in contract But you can tell them they don't feature in your plans and look to move them on. The likes of Sotiriou and Thompson aren't suitable options at this level but could be useful to clubs in L2, much like Clay went to Sutton once he knew he wasn't ...

Re: Hospitality Prices

If we want to achieve further aims then the ante has to go up. Regrettably that means change. Years back we embraced American owners (with some local interest); now we have London based Americans sponsoring the club. There's new money about and a more professional way of thinking at board level (th...

Re: Hospitality Prices

Absolutely agree. My 90 year old Dad really enjoys the meal before a match but there is no way i can fork out that sort of money. You expect a 10% increase or something but this sounds like an absolute rip off unless we have recruited Gordon Ramsay in place of a goalkeeper and a striker. :(((

Re: Craig Clay

Can't disagree with any of the above.
A great servant to our club and I'm sure he will be the same for Sutton.

Delighted that he has found another club so quickly and at a decent level too.

Thanks, Craig and good luck.

Re: Smyth: officially gone to QPR

Can't blame him for going back. He will be on a decent wedge at QPR and unless he is on some dodgy pay-per-game contract, they will have to pay him that whether he plays or not. I really hope he does well because he deserves it but like others. I suspect he will end up back in L1/L2 sooner rather th...

Re: Football League Review

I'm pretty sure I have some of those in a box somewhere :D

I think some Div 3 / Div 4 clubs used to use them as filler, stapled inside the matchday programme so they didn't have to write their own content.
