Brentford offered little more than half what Swindon offered him hence why he is still with us but they offered him a 2 year deal when Swindon only offered him a 1 year deal, so we came back and offered him a 2 year deal.
Yes, they're offered less than what he's currently on, but no less than he's about to take from us if/when he signs. And that's completely beside the point. He obviously can't be too disgruntled here. |

Ward was never unhappy here it was his wife who wanted him to move back to London to be nearer her family.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Fair play to Ward...I was surprised when Brentford came in, because thought he would be hard to shift at his age.
Still, only a verbal agreement mind......

Wonder how much he's got left in the tank? Paleo man may be one of those players that just keeps on going until they're 60 something (slight exaggeration).

Good for Ward. I'm dead chuffed he wants to stay.
I do feel sorry for the way he and others have been messed around. I would love to hear their views of whats gone on, and of the boards, old and new - never going to happen though.

Remember Brain Borrows who McMahon picked up from Cov, where he'd been forever...was easily 37/38 at the time and could still get about the park better than some of the lardarses that McMahon signed like Gary Elkins... |

Rumour has it that a year's supply of beetroot juice swung the deal. Glad he's staying.

I realise this is going off topic but I was always hard on Borrows. If I remember correctly he came in not long after Culverhouse left. I wanted him to be as classy as Culverhouse was, and he wasn't. He was pretty good, but I never shook the disappointment. True, very dull, story. If Ward signs it may turn out to be the most important signing we make this summer. |

I liked Brian he must have been close on 40 when he played his last game for us...but you could tell he was thorough pro, understood the game and we were a lot shitter the following season when he had retired. WE also were playing Div 2 then, WArd could go on a while yet. |

Borrows was brilliant for us. Ward could go on just as long as he did, no problem.
