I've got an argument to that

York City, Barnet, Oldham, Rochdale, Yeovil, Halifax (reborn), Dagenham, Sutton, Southend, Hartlepool, Aldershot.

Are we bigger than them? Yes probably.
Are we better run/at an advantage over them? Not obviously.

Maybe it will force Clem out and we get a better owner and thrive. Maybe we'll just tag on the end of that list and Clem carries on even longer as costs are slashed and losses reduced.

I know its all obvious stuff and I know you probably wouldn't disagree. The risk it just too high for me.

Add in Torquay, Scunthorpe, Macclesfield, Hereford, Chester who have fallen even farther down the pyramid.

Most of the teams that have come back stronger have done so having spent heavily to get out of the NL, I'm not sure that we have an ownership group that will do that.

I honestly think that if we drop into Non League we will be there for the rest of my lifetime, so it's a big NO from me

The teams that’s rebuild at come back up do so by spending £££
The teams that wither & stay in non league are the clubs who don’t have a pot to piss in.

Currently we appear to be the latter rather than the former.

I’d genuinely take the one step back if it meant we could take two steps forward & continue in the right direction.


Never going to happen though. Club will be dead before we reemerge

Jody Morris on Talksport right now. Mentioned how Morfuni promised stuff that didn't happen and that the Sporting Director (Assuming he means Jamie Russell) and CEO (Anthony Hall) hated each other.

I thinks its more likely that its Sandro and not Russell.

Oh of course yeah, always forget about Sandro (Probably repressing it for my own wellbeing)

Also had it pointed out that CEO at the time still would have been Rob Angus. Need to remember that our insane turnover of staff isn't just on the pitch.

First question, yes definitely. Second question, fuck no.

If it’s not a daft question, why don’t we? It’s right there?

I assume something to do with status, ownership & grants. Being able to use it all day during school holidays & I guess all the under X academy teams but you’d think there would be times the first team could use it potentially

If we drop under this ownership I agree. I don't think we'll ever be  back. Probably take us at least a decade even if they stick around for a couple of years after. Its a massive rebuilding job from there.

I agree, it would be ideal.

Even Supermarine have better facilities than Beaversbrook dont they?

Been more than a few years since I’ve played at Beaversbrook.
Swindome was decent but I guess Beaversbrook has the advantage of being grass pitches.
