Manny Smith also rumoured to be re-signing for us from Gateshead.

Kevin Roberts any good Halifax fans? It's rumoured he could be on his way to Wrexham.

Really chuffed. We were told the budget had been increased to have a crack at it and it seems that is true. I hope we are in contention this season. The last few years have been difficult and I think we are due a few good times.

I do admire Vince Dale's stance on veganism and the like, and I think it's very laudable. However, spunking £2 million or £3 million or whatever it is away every year on FGR is kind of the opposite of what he is trying to do with Ecotricity and sustainable energy. It's about as far away from...

I'll let you know in 7 years time...

I presume there are plenty of ways to get round Financial Fair Play rules in the EFL? If not FGR will have a problem. Other bankrolled village teams like Fleetwood seem to have been able to circumvent them so presumably not. It's never a problem in the wild west of the National League since...

I'd be surprised if Tranmere are challenging for the title next season. Losing in the play-off final is tough and often results in a huge hangover.

Won't be long before League 2 is more tinpot than the conference. The current Newport isn't the same club. The old one was relegated in 1988 and went bust. The current Newport was formed in 1989.

Who is the new investor?

I saw it had been discussed in the minutes of one of our board meetings. 6 would play 7, and the winner would play 2 in one semi, and 4 would play 5, and the winner would play 3 in the other semi. No idea if it is going ahead though.

Has anyone heard anything about the play-offs being increased from 4 to 6 teams next season?

So in your view grass roots football will be enhanced by gazillionaires buying up small clubs and loading them up with millions of pounds of debt, endangering their long-term future and making it almost impossible for every other club to compete with them on a level playing field?

I'd like Stockport back - fingers crossed.

Braintree didn't look that great against us (Wrexham) on Saturday. Not bad going forward but their defence looked quite shaky and we should have scored a few more. Should be a routine win for Lincoln.

No, I'm saying that circumstances change and that the fans should always keep their guard up, and a critical eye on the owner, as ultimately the supporters are the real custodians of any club. I'm sure that the fans of Gretna and Rushden and Diamonds felt the same way that you do. Successful...

Wrexham went into admin not because of excessive spending, but because of a long campaign against a crooked asset stripping owner who was trying to close the club down and sell our ground to B&Q or Ikea to make himself a few million pounds. After a long and hard-fought campaign by the fans, and...

Never. They tried to introduce it 5 or so years ago but it was blocked by some of the overspending/indebted clubs at the time - Grimsby, Mansfield and I think FGR - because the new rules would have banned director's loans. For Financial Fair Play to come into practice the member clubs would need...

Looks like Chester's stadium with a curvy wooden roof stuck on.

The losses racked up at FGR can be used to write off some of the tax that Ecotricity would be liable for, no?

What is a BELT? I wouldn't love someone like Dale Vince at my club, changing the colour of the kit, changing the way the club works, moving the ground to a slip road off a motorway. Because it would no longer be my club. And you say it is mutually beneficial. I can't see how doing what he is...
