    Blip – morphed in to a blob.
    Is the blip sustainable.
    Sounds as if Turnbullgate is purely a cost cutting exercise.
    Inexperienced staff, inexperienced manager, inexperienced directors… it doesn’t bode well.

    Does a 2nd tier non-league team actually need a Head of Recruitment?

    How many other teams in this league have one?

    Is it a waste of £50k a year?

    Surely Stan (Butler) & Jack (Schofield) have enough contacts within the game and desperate players seeking trials?

    If the HoR ‘finds’ five players a season then that works out at £10k a player.

    Seems we’re trying to desperately cling to our ‘professional’ status and haven’t accepted our fate and faced the facts.

    We’re non-league and looking as if we’ll be grounded in this league for a while.

    Stagnation will see gates fall and ultimately we will go part-time like the rest.

    Speculate to accumulate… blah, blah, blah.

    Money for old rope, clutching at straws.

    Successful recruitment in industry is poor – with only a 30% success rate.

    Football tends to be even worse.

    I’ve looked at the top 4 teams – 2 have HoR, 2 don’t… I’m guessing that there will be more teams without HoRs than with?

    Yeah, promotion and a modicum of success would be a real downer… lol

    Alexander was doing well, then…

    It’s been downhill ever since.

    FA Youth Cup R3 Draw

    Premier & Championship clubs now enter the fray.

    Harrogate are at home to WBA.

    I note that since 2021, the final is now a one off game. Covid influenced?

    Good to see Chelsea’s stranglehold finally ending.

    Harrogate knocked Guiseley out in the first round ‘proper’.

    Last night, Harrogate knocked Cat2 Birmingham City out of R2.

    Trinity’s goal against Chester last Saturday started from a Chester corner.
    I’ve always thought leaving two up top for the opposition’s corners is a good tactic – they have to leave 3 players back to cover.
    One high (half way line) & left, the other high & right – Gainsborough executed the counter swiftly and effectively last Saturday.
    Well done Russ & the Trinity lads!

    Give it a rest, nobody cares!

    … and if we were to buy him? He’d be sliced bread+

    What about posters suggesting where other posters live Steve? You okay with that? It’s just you didn’t mention it.

    Taboo.

    I’ve listed some of the gems that came out of Butlers mouth.

    “It’s about using him “beck” in the right way, doesn’t mean we’re going to go long”

    Convert him to a Centre Back Stan!

    We need an experienced manager with no club ties who knows who and what it takes it get out of the division. Wilcox can stay where he is, but I’d take Trinity’s striker.

    How(e) about Stu sets up a GoFundMe appeal?

    Glad your onboard the Howe express!
