Let's face it compared to the last act of the old regime 1878 have only done a virtual total re-vamp of the training ground, new playing surface and sprinklers at BP. Told us upfront a new ground is out of the question, at the moment, but have 5 year plan. They have now started to put more effort into the admin side of the club which was a one man and his dog affair. O and there's that little matter of promotion back into the EFL at the first attempt.

The old regime in their last 6 months failed to buy any new players in the January transfer window, although they said the money was available! Their dying act was to see the club relegated to the national league.

We now have people on here complaining the accounts might not be on time etc.

I for one am very pleased with 1878 for getting the club back into the EFL. I don't believe relegation is on the calendar and, if we have success in the 2nd half of the season like last year, then another promotion may be on the cards.

Interesting that 1878 were part of a consortium that were planning a new stadium.

I think that is where Tom Shutes was involved with the stadium on the docks etc.

I'll put this misguided, though well intentioned, thread down to nerves before the England game.  

I'm having leftovers from yesterday's meal for tea tonight. Reheating this topic is even less enticing.

DB as Chris Sutton says on the wireless “you’re better than that” are you familiar with the term click bait.

Hopefully the former failed Lincoln City manager won’t get mentioned too often in the future. Thanks 🙏
