    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    We’ve signed 10 new players this close season. There’s no reason to believe we won’t sign a replacement for McNulty, even if it turns out not to be Chaplin. It’s hardly as if this is unusual for us is it Rune Lange? Ricky Otto? Steve Bull?

    Billy Kee

    Laughed in Doyle’s face as MD tried to intimidate him at a corner in our defeat at Accrington. Apart from that display of chutzpah I wasn’t that impressed with him on that occasion. By the time they came to the Ricoh however he was having a stormer of a season. Holds up the ball well for a...

    Unpatriotic English People

    Lives in London. Wife is English. Child is English. Despite the throwaway statement made 12 years ago about supporting 'anyone but England' (and no-one ever questions Tiger Tim's banter before that, it's quite possible that by now he does quite like England.

    Stokes - Confirmed to Bury

    And was really good in last few weeks of the season. His return to the First XI made us demonstrably stronger. Played really well in all three play-off games.

    No Away Season Tickets because of GDPR

    Exactly. I was just thinking how come iFollow (which stores cc details and rolls over payment from year to year) is unaffected and the away season ticket scheme has to be scrapped?

    Another Shrew ?

    They’re a good club with decent supporters, for the most part they’ve played proper football whatever the trends in hoof ball. They’ve played 5 times at Wembley and lost the lot iirc. There’s a point where that becomes self-fulfilling and the hype about overcoming the Wembley hoodoo is...

    Reece Charles-Cook am unused sub? I’ll have to check but I thought he moved on before the season started.

    Bye bye Villa

    Agree with most of this except I *do* feel sorry for most of their fans. And the craziest thing is the stupid stupid shit or bust business model very nearly worked out. A lucky deflected equaliser and a penalty shootout victory and Bernard Cribbins is a tactical genius and the owner is the wise...

    Hyam

    I’m dreadfully worried abt McNulty moving on. His first tweet for a week after the final said “What a season!! Signed with this club to get promoted! And we did it!!! Thanks to all the fans for the backing home and away all season⚽️“ All v positive but I’m afraid I read it as job done, so long...

    Chris Stokes

    Alleged being the key word here. Wasn’t it the case that the player and club were expecting an offer that never came?

    Robins new contract!

    I’m guessing if it was a contract extension that wd feature in the news story. Pay rise and official recognition of Viveash as asst. edit: in fact might even have been triggered by a promotion clause?
