I thought the picture of a player holding a scarf as though he were a lifelong fan of the club was exclusively a Premier League preserve. Hey ho, good luck to him

Looks like Wellers and Keenan are both looking for clubs for next season

Adam Thomas leaving Stoke

GET IN THERE ROB!!!!

I understand that Dan Crane has signed for Brackley.

Correct - it is on his Twitter!

Dan Crane ‏@dpc2205
Very pleased to have signed for @BrackleyTownFC looking forward to the start of the season already.

BREAKING NEWS: Goalkeeper Dan Crane has just signed for the 15/16 season. He was formerly at Hednesford Town, welcome to Brackley Town Dan!

Drapes in action at Hampden, and it's going well as I write...

So that's 4 that have gone to Brackley now, 3 of which I would have liked to stay. Frustrating as on size of club and pure footballing reasons Hednesford are a superior option to them. I have a horrible feeling the budget will bite the team hard on the field next season, replacing established Conf North players with those from 2 leagues lower will be an act of managerial genius if it comes off. I guess this is the end for Billy Turley, who I went to school with.

The worst is yet to come with another player on the way out...

I might go and watch Telford v Brackley next season.....

With only 3 left who have not signed for next season I guess it won't take much working out who is leaving!

3 - or 4??

Pending

Glenn Walker (could be going to Brackley!)
Jamey Osborne
Andy Todd
Chris Westwood

I think we all accept that Jamey will be leaving at some point, but to whom and when is the question.

Although as far as I understand it (and I could very well be wrong) we can still command a fee for him and he can only leave if the club receives an offer that it wishes to accept?

Marvin Johnson scored today for Motherwell against Rangers in the play-off match.

Brackley have shown a distinct lack of imagination by basically nicking our better players. Seemingly their manager hasn't the nous or judgement of our own manager to unearth talent from a variety of sources.

I don't for one minute think that Brackley will threaten the playoffs next season despite them pinching a couple of our best players.

Next season will be very tough and if Rob can preserve our status he will have done well. Our six pointers will be against the likes of Gainsborough, Gloucester etc

A lot of work has gone into getting us to this level and it would be a real shame of this were lost as we command decent attendances and have an excellent stadium.

Your HTFC season ticket should get you into both games as it's our team which will be playing...

Gers keeper "badly at fault" - he appears to have his eyes closed from this still pic!!

Kristian Green to Stour, I think he played a PSF or two for us didn't he?

Brackley confirm Walker signing, am I allowed to say 4 now?

Indeed, since it was on the appropriate thread at 1.38pm

He lives in Northwich, so the decision must have been very difficult!
