Amongst that positivity, I also have that pit of dread in my stomach! I try to look forward to it every year, in the hope one year it might come good. Head, bang and wall comes to mind. ;)

Rubbish? I think you need to check your facts. 'We had replaced most the players before the season started' Well they hadn't replaced all the players, which is exactly the same as currently, the only difference being that in 83 we had to replace a whole team, not just a few, and shored up with...

I have the same feeling, that we have less now than last year, but having seen what Mowbray did last year, I am hoping that the faces will be in for the start of the season. If not I think the worry may well set in. I think he may also trust a few of the youngsters more this year, and they may...

I think we are coming from different angles. I was referring to the fact that people didn't moan when we had signed Armstrong that Mowbray left it until just before the start of the season that we signed him. Lets face it with the start he had he didn't really need weeks to gel with the team...

A couple is better than a whole team as in 83 ;) I shudder to recall Ashley Grimes, Raddy Avramovic, Andy Spring and Graham Withey. To think we won the cup four years later...happier days!

I thought you had been a fan for years, if so you might recall 1983 the first spell under Gould, when the whole team left after Sextons sacking. We were far more underprepared then. I am prepared, like last season, to give Mowbray the chance to forge his team and squad. I don't recall anyone...

As such I am unsure if anything in the application is in breach of policy or so forth, do you have any info on this?

They are Muppets.

Advice and guidance yes, not always assistance, as they can advise someone on an application but if it is in breach of policy, or for example is of a negative design or impact, then they will advise of such but certainly wouldn't assist.

I guess I see the comment that people dont still blame SISU as wasted sentiment Orca. This site involves too much bickering between fans, and instead we should be foucssing on the inaction of the club, which I believe is what you also want. Whether people blame SISU or not is irrelevant to the...

Good post, and certainly agree with the above Dongo. I just don't get their attitude, if they want the club to self fund the Academy is imperative. Lose it and I just cant understand where they think they will ever get back anything for the club, as surely further investment will be needed to...

No I asked why people like you keep repeating the same old tired line, and you said its because of two people, who don't post on this site. Without asking the question I hadn't a clue who you were on about. Well done. I asked a question, you replied and I got my answer. I didn't already know...

Is it a prerequisite on the site to mention the thoughts of Les Reid and Jonathan Strange? Who gives a damn what they think. You can argue a point without having to post about two people who have a differing view. Regarding people on this site, its pretty much 99% that blame SISU, its just some...

The million dollar question. As it currently appears the club aren't showing a great deal of willing, which is a disgrace. I just wonder what Mowbray's position is. Surely he wants to retain a Cat2 academy, so what is he saying to the club? and are they listening?

People keep repeating this tired old line, but seriously who the fuck defends them?

Don't you also need the availability of players? Were they available?

The clubs PR is awful and should be improved, but I didn't see any threads on this site suggesting the same until Wasps arrived in town. I cant recall in the 80's or 90's anyone decrying a lack of CCFC stalls at public events, but sadly now we have to compete with Wasps it is something that has...

Exactly my thoughts too. If this happens I am really surprised. Another of case of thanks for your efforts whilst with the club, and for us to move on.

I would say the Telegraph is the same. They are both crap.

It works both way's though Brylowes. For some its the Telegraph, others the Observer. Sadly it depends which side of the fence you sit on.
