For those who can remember the 1960's/70's there was just one system. Goalkeeper, Left back, Right back, Right half, Centre half, Left half, Outside right, Inside right, Centre forward, Inside left, Outside left, ie two full backs, three half backs, FIVE forwards. It worked, The two wingers...

We oldies have experienced worse .. relegation to Division 4 (from Div 3 (South) and defeats by non-league teams along the way. Kings Lyn for example. That was 50 odd years ago now, but my support has not wavered once. CCFC is my team, no matter what... just grin and bear it ! Forest Green...

Far too early to judge who will/won't be the leaders after 10 games.. eg if CCFC beat Stevenage, leaves them just 2 points off the play off positions. Notts County/Tranmere won't, in my opinion, last the course. I still maintain that with the right management CCFC will gain automatic promotion.

Some are missing the point.. Forest Green Rovers is a small village team based in Nailsworth, not much larger than Wellesbourne. Unlike Crawley, which is a sizeable town.

Forest Green Rovers -- based in a small Cotswold Village near Stroud (not too far from where I live). How can a small village team be top of the Conference, above the likes of Wrexham and Luton yet CCFC are struggling just two divisions higher ? Must have an amazing Manager to achieve this.

No--- never in a million years

Trying hard to be positive, but it's really bloody hard at the moment to see any light at the end of the tunnel with all that is going on. On the positive side, even though we have had a crap start to the season, we are not too far off the top in terms of points to catch up.. but the gap grows...

No way !!!! Spends most of the time at home on Sandbanks -- I understand the Spurs players held a party when he got the sack.

Bournemouth (favourites) have a money-bags owner and spent heavily, as did Preston.... thay have hardly got off to flyers, have they ? Early days, but we are undefeated so far !

Remember Norwich bounced straight back up ? LOST 7 -1 to Colchester on thr opening day of that season and here they are moaning about an away draw !

Yes it is -- long suffering 70 year old -- 60 years as a CCFC supporter !

Firstly, let me make it clear that I want SISU out.. they have misjudged and mismanaged CCFC and hadn't a clue about running a football club when they took us over. they stll haven't. HOWEVER: If CCFC had not sold it's star players to cover outgoings, CCFC would not be here today. SISU is a...

Agree with you ! Roy Kirk, Ken Jones, Martin Macdonald, Gordon Nott, Eddie Brown, Alf Wood, Noel Simpson, Ray Sambrook, Ian Jamieson, Reg Matthews, Peter Taylor (of Clough and Taylor fame). Ken Satchwell. Wish I was 13 again ! That kit was the best ever !

1952 - 1958 -- The Old Five .. the Banthams! Braod Blue and White Stripes. Far better than the poncy Sky Blue ! Wish we could go back to being the Banthams and the 1952 kit !

I remember using the Sky Blue Special --- Charles Harold as caller playing Bingo ! Those were the days ! Rattles wiring around to "Glad All Over", 30,000 plus gates.... if only.......

Maybe he has forgotten Chester beat the Vile and Luton beat Ipswich on Saturday ? Get it into perspective !!!!!

He was given a budget by SISU and has managed to keep within that budget, and is still managing to do so. Whatever SISU might lead us to believe otherwise, I am pretty convinced this budget allowed for players like Keogh to leave and for Cranie not to sign a new contract. Only Bigi's transfer...

Yep, I knew Ernie... came from near Bolton. A brilliant wing - half.. (midlfielder in today's "speak" ). That JH team was full of players like Ernie -- always played his heart out. The team spirit that JH instilled was amazing ! Miss you Ernie !

I think most on here recognize that -- there have been very few negative posts.

Remember that 8 possible "first teamers" do not go on the trip -- Brown, Ball, Cody, Jennings (if), Deegan, Bell, two new strikers .. anymore ? With a month to go AT and RS are still experimenting with formations, seeing how players perform... be interesting to see what the final first team...
