Equally if anyones bothered, Connells coming up on RH soon.


What did he say? That he was heartbroken to leave us etc?

Pretty much what we already knew.
That he was happy until his dream move came along and didn't fancy going anywhere else that cropped up.
Great memories of Grimsby etc.

Good luck to Alan Connell! Thanks for the goals! He is now unfollowed on my Twitter account. The Connell saga is over - long live the new king(s) at Blundell Park!

oh well onwards and upwards, lets get 2/3 more decent young, energetic players with potential, first that Vardey from Halifax would be nice.

Couldn't we look at Scandinavian players? Many would fit the criteria, big strong,athletic and also they tend to play in summer months leaving them half a year free to play football

Good idea! I really don`t know why there isn`t more interest in this idea at the club. The second level of Norwegian football is very similar to the BSP. Some clubs can afford to pay decent wages, but most clubs consists of part-time players on little more than breadcrumbs. My guess is that a lot of players would welcome a chance to become pro. Most speak the queen`s english fairly well (like me).
If I could help the managers and the club in any way regarding this - you know where to find me.

Here is an example from a typical football game in the Norwegian second tier (Adeccoligaen). This game is between two teams that never have or will go up in the Norwegian Premier division, but are regulars at the 2nd tier.

Look on the bright side, at least Connell didn't go to Luton  

I don't think anybody can complain about him wanting to play at a higher level, closer to home etc....

At the of the day, he's helped steady the ship, we've made over 100k for him and seen some great goals

Hope he does well at Swindon.

Ok, cheers, predictable, blah blah...
Well anyway S&H want players with ambition and if Al has spent all his life dreaming of playing for Swindon Town he's clearly got a huge lack of it.

Sorry, bit bitter

"Dreaming" about playing for Swindon? Ok, Barca or Manure, but Swindon?
Anyway it was just tongue in cheek mate
