Fancy. From one extreme (of the country) to another

The fact they've had "a few detailed and constructive meetings" rather suggests that the previous manager was a dead man walking.

I imagine Cox has negotiated a better remuneration package at Barrow than the one he "had" at Torquay?

Woking not in crisis, only £437k of debt...

I'd have been surprised if Hereford's ground didn't make the grade...

I'm so happy for them

They've got short memories down there!
Presumably being a 'paper club' and hiring a ground is the way to go?!
Let's see how they get on when gates inevitably fall when they start playing at Torquay

Harriers sack Hockaday:

Time was we'd have been concerned about Rob and Larry applying for that job, I wonder if they will this time

Good idea, Brighton needs a football club bearing its name...

One more like that and you're off the forum

In case you missed it, Brett Ormerod has retired at age 39

http://www.evostikleague.co.uk/record-h ... oots-28881

"... famously the only player to score in all four divisions of the pro game..."

Having exchanged emails, we already have two names which render that supposed stat nonsensical, we suspect they've missed out the word(s) "hat-trick" but even then it's wrong.

I'll let those who came up with the names claim the credit...

Stuart Pearce comes out of retirement for one game (which will cost him a fiver).

Decent (albeit a tad condescending, as usual) publicity if nowt else for non-league football. You wouldn't want to be the opposing right-winger would you...

Harry, of course, can't read or write so he wouldn't have looked at the figures before getting involved...
