Sounds good. J&M seem to have concentrated on signing defenders and (defensive?) midfielders so far. But with the release of Hannah & James, I guess we may see some activity in bolstering the attacking options.

Spennymoor (H) for us on opening day.

Ross Hannah & Kingsley James have agreed to terminate their contracts. Frees up money for J&M and completes the near total clear-out of last year's squad. Still only have eleven senior pros to face Liverpool on Saturday.

We've signed Gary Stopforth (midfielder ex Salford?) today.

He's available. You just need to pay him (there won't be a transfer fee).

We've signed Dominic Smalley from Ashton United (full-back apparently). Not familiar with any of the new signings so far (excluding ex youth teamers), so the pre-season will be interesting.

Thanks for comment on the player. Not sure our fans are expecting immediate promotion though, just some stability as we get ourselves back on track. We're essentially in re-build mode on a (very) modest budget.

Signed Grant Shelton (GK) and Steve Howson today. Two more of the managers' old favourites I guess. Any comments on them (from those who have seen them play :happy:), as I don't recognise either name.

What was the problem with him? As BlueandWhite said, we had him a few seasons back when he looked very quick and dangerous, and seemed destined for better things.

I doubt anybody considers sponsorship (ie paid for advertising) as bankrolling. Any money we get will be invested in infrastructure. Fans who expect an increase in the playing budget are going to be disappointed.

Yup. The playing budget will be increased from 250K to 255K. Instant return here we come. :ffs::bg:

Hopefully it will re-establish some stability, even if the on-field success isn't great next season.

It was announced a while back that his contract wasn't going to be extended after the end of the season, and so I presume we'll be paying him till then. Bignot's behaved with great dignity since the announcement and didn't deserve this pointless treatment.

You were warned when you signed them. :bg:

Thankyou, it's appreciated. I've enjoyed the renewal of some of the old Cheshire derby games. They obviously never had quite the same intensity as the W****** derby, but it's always good to renew these old rivalries.

Obviously not if you think Cook was 3 yds away from Astles. :ffs:

In other words you had exactly the same viewing angle as the camera, as it was directly behind you. Out of interest, were you viewing the official film footage? ... as there is no sign of any raised arms on that footage. He was moving directly towards the ball and was close to it, which is what...

Nope. Just watched highlights again ... no raised arms, which is immaterial as he was heading straight on the line of the ball and interfering with the play. :)

It was Cook coming from an offside position and interfering with the play, that was the offside call. Norwood clearly wasn't offside himself.

What a sad attitude. It'll effectively be a home game for you tomorrow, as you'll outnumber the home support by a factor of 2-3. Frankly, we're resigned to Conf North and have been for some time. Whilst having enjoyed being in the same league again as Tranmere (just like the old days), your...
