Checked the Chester forum tracking signings. We've only signed one from Cinderford (Emmett). Miles came from Stratford (was on loan at Cinderford). Nobody else
Some more ins and out at Gloucester.
Jamie Reckord signed from Yeovil. Decent pedigree, played most of his career far higher. Also seems to signal that Owen Evans is probably on his way out, apparently he's gone silent on the club. Poor behaviour, considering he spent most of the season as a...
I think this season looks really wide open as it stands. Would say Buxton have done some good business early doors though, could be a contender this season.
Meanwhile Banbury have just announced top scorer Rasulo is leaving. They've already lost Babos to Hereford, Reilly to Tamworth, Langmead...
We've signed a few more, but I don't know much about them other than Joe Parker and there's still radio silence about any of last season's squad. Fanbase has gone from being pleasantly surprised of the first acquisitions to being a little nervous now.
Parker was the third coming in from...
He's not particularly quick, he's only five foot 7 or so and isn't strong but play him as a fox in the box sort of role and he'll tuck away the majority of chances. His positioning is superb and is a good finisher. Reminds me of a young Matt McClure.
Mansell brought him to the club after...
Injuries lol. Nah in all honesty when he first signed he looked ok enough, but had a dreadful game at Blyth near the start of the season giving away a calamity of a goal and then got injured 20 minutes or so later. We then barely saw him as he was out for so long and when he was declared fit...
Harry Williams signed. Very good start to transfer business from us, but will mean nowt if almost all of last season's squad go. Hopefully we can retain 6/7 at minimum from that.
Brandon Hall was another to leave, signing for Telford. On the cards for a long time, he lives in Shrewsbury and...
Chorley have a new owner, gotta say the press release reads like an inheritance scam email from Nigeria!

Flowers signed three today, all local players. Spencer Hamilton returns, was Captain at Chippenham. Also from Chippenham is Joe Hanks, massive signing that one as our set pieces were poor last season. He's a class act. Lastly was Danny Wright, at 38 he's definitely at "veteran" stage and then...
I don't think we scored a single goal from a corner this season, so having some taller players isn't necessary a bad thing. We were quite direct at times under Rowe, had Carline throwing Delap like balls into 6 foot 5 Liam Daly and stuff. Coincidentally Flowers had Carline and Daly at Solihull...
Expected that Tim Flowers will be announced as our new manager at some point. Did very well first season at Solihull, ok second season. Beyond awful at Barnet, but seemed to do pretty well at Stratford albeit for only four months (steering them to safety tbf)..On the fence got to say...
Steven King has left City, not a big surprise. The Hungerford duo have now come in and said we're going part time (from hybrid). Would hope we retain 6 or 7 players. Expect most of the King ones will go, despite results many of them were a mixed bag to be fair.
Interesting times ahead...
600, it was a shambles as well. 4 porta loos and kids serving food and drink out of one hatch which took forever. Hopefully they've reviewed it since then
