    Very much doubt it is a paid role. On LinkedIn there is a post where he describes Ian Sharp as one of his closest friends.

    Staging a load of tribute bands and local acts will never ever attract 10,000 people for each day. In fact, it’d be lucky to get 500 – 1,000. It represents a massive financial risk.

    I’ve seen around 15 acts on the line up… things can only get better…
    There are a few one hit wonders and blasts from the past. None of the acts appeal to me in the slightest. I am hoping they have a few decent headliners up their sleeve, otherwise I fear it will flop.

    Williams has been training with us for six weeks, so they have done well to keep it under wraps. He has impressed and they are just waiting on the international clearance.

    Beck is certainly a target but he is on loan at Gateshead at the moment and is taking some convincing to drop to the NLN.

    We definitely need a reinforcement or two but I’d rather we bide our time and sign one of our top targets than waste money on panic signings like last season. We cant afford any more Youmbiesque youngsters that are simply signed to make up the numbers. They have to be oven ready.

    Kid seems to know where the net is?

    Both strikers looked ok and caused us a few problems with intelligent runs on the break. Tom Jones looked a tidy player for them.

    I’d be interested to know if Iron Stats has the numbers on how many assists/goals he provided in his time here.

    One assist and one goal in two seasons. A very poor return considering how many times he bombed forward a game.

    Not too disappointed after last night as they were excellent and will likely be promoted again. For the first half an hour we were chasing shadows. They were quicker, calm on the ball and really clinical. The first goal was outrageously good. We improved after the break, particularly after the first round of subs, which was a good job as there was a worry the score was going to get a bit silly. Butler has got some decisions to make and I’d be shocked if the team that started last night play at Brackley. Denton, Roberts and Brogan have to start and I’d play Scales at RWB ahead of Barrows. I think the big call is Beest or Carlton alongside Whitehall.

    Yes we are sponsoring his home shirt again this year. I am hoping we will also be able to sponsor one other player in the next week or two, once the final few prediction league entries trickle in. It will likely have to be an away or third shirt as they are a little bit cheaper.

    The club are only leasing the training pitch at the Attis at the moment. Would not be surprised if it was developed in the longer term and training moved to Quibell Park.

    A couple of the others are ex academy lads that left the club in the past year or so. Finn Abraham who went to the Cods when the academy folded and Charlie Burden Whittleton. There were six in on trial at the start of the week and not sure who the 6th is…

    We could play three up front but it wouldn’t improve his first touch.

    Elliot surely has the attributes to be a decent striker at the level but he is simply awful.

    DSF was also onside for the one he shanked wide when the keeper parried Butterfield’s effort. Was stood in line and all three were onside. Lino was about 10 yards behind play.

    Attacking player coming in. Released from a League 2 club so will be free transfer. By no means prolific but has scored at a higher level.

    Wages are considerable.
    I think the National League will make the decision for us anyway.
