Have signed Steve Morison from Stevenage for £130,000 after signing former Town striker Charlie Griffin

who signed Griffin Stevenage or Millwall?

Quite a bit of action down here in the conference already.

I hope Stevenage have some debts to cover with the Morrison money, wouldn't want them spending the extra £130k on players/wages.

Peschisolido named as Burton's new manager. Does he have any experience? They'll flop if not.

Cambridge have accepted an approach from an unnamed league club for their manager Gary Brabin. It wouldn't be a bad thing for our chances if he went.

We've signed Kiddy's captain Creighton, Histons top scorer Midson, and are tieing up a deal for Crawley's best player Bulman. More than happy with our early business.

Stevenage signed Griffin, Joel Byrom and our ineffective speedmerchant Yemi Odubade.

Pesky has loads of playing experience, but coaching wise six months in Ireland as an assistant.

Seems a nice enough bloke though, hope he does well.

And Brabin's club is Blackpool I think, used to play for them so would make sense.

Midsons a good signing.

You'll have it wrapped up by X Mas.

I admire your optimism. Was thinking early January myself.

Have you worked out a way to buy back your ground yet?

Last I heard you were looking for someone to pay the £5m difference between the value of the ground, and the amount your new board agreed to pay Kassam for it.

No news on the ground and I wouldn't expect any for a year or so until a deal is carved out. Where did you hear that we were looking for someone to fund the difference? As far as I know there is no agreement with Kassam for a price.

What was Alex Rhodes like for you lot?

ha! that article says we are rivals...

apparently he made 4 sub appearances for you

 Swindon     10-Oct-2006  to   10-Nov-2006      Loan       0 (4)      0

Signed on loan from Brentford in October 2006, having featured against the Town earlier in the season, Rhodes made just four substitute appearances in his spell at the County Ground, the first coming with twenty minutes remaining of a 3-0 victory over Grimsby on October 14th. Rhodes returned to Griffin Park after seeing three managers at Swindon - Dennis Wise who signed him leaving for Leeds and caretaker Ady Williams, before new man Paul Sturrock took over, under whom he failed to make an appearance.

Very good but can anyone remember him playing, what was he like

fuck me, i saw everyone of the games he played and have absolutely no recollection of him at all

Wasn't he a lightning quick winger who was absolutely crap. He'd be a suitable replacement for Yemi whatsisname - like for like.

He was fucking fast but not much else. I think he is about Macnamee's build.

Ditto.

I think that says all OF needs to know.

Until you posted that I had no memory of him playing for us whatsoever but that jogged my memory so to speak.

Wasn't he brought in as a winger who could also play up front if needs be? My memory is crap at the best of times but he couldn't have been any good if people remember so little.

Him and brownlie had a kickabout at half time against shresbury. It was pissing down and neither of them looked like they wanted to be there. Thats all i can remember of him. And him trying to get in the way of peacock for his goal against grimsby

I was talking to my lad around Christmas time, (back from uni) we have interesting chats about matters STFC and football in general. These often end up in some sort of quizzage, and this one was about listing the players who got us promo from Div 4 a couple of years back.

 I had my bash at it and the boy says you've missed Alex Rhodes, I say...who the fuck was he, he says that striker we had on loan from Brentford, wasn't much good.

 I could then just about recall a quick lad, lightweight, who seemed a bit out of his depth. Maybe he'll be better off out wide. 

 I think Wise got him in...

He was really quick but fucking shit at everything else.

Then again we are a much better club than Oxford, so he might do alright there.

I see that Millwall have so far sold over 42000 tickets for the Wembley play off final game and hope
to sell close to their allocation of 49000.

Scunthorpe on the other hand,are struggling and haven't even managed to top 7000 in sales.

Fuck me, thats ridiculous (Scunthorpe, that is). Where are all their plastics??

I'm putting a Millwall win on my betting slip.

They've already been to Wembley once this year, no need for the plastics to go again.

Oops

"I was far from making any sort of decision, I went with an open mind and wanted to hear what they had to say."

Bullshit! You would've taken the job!

"If I'm honest I wasn't really focused on anything but our defeat and I couldn't wait to get back here and get on with the job"

BULLSHIT!

Any tickets on sale for neutrals? Could be quite an entertaining game.  :unsure:

Have you seen the prices they charge for these games though?!

I want to get to the play-off final next season. I'd like to think we'd be able to muster up well over 30k (Shrewsbury have sold 20k for their final) and have an amazing day out.

Then I woke up *sigh*

i wouldn't want to be a scumthorpe fan if millwall get beaten.
could get very messy,all the banned lot will get tickets for the final
