Sorry if my comments upset you Herts GTFC,with respect I dont think marcus was given a chance to prove himself which I believe was a mistake by Fenty. Although at the time in the national north I saw us storm that league and have no doubt he should be successful at a higher level. I dont believe you can tell how good the players would have been unless he had a chance to manage them,but its all water under the bridge now and we'll see how he gets on at chester where he has Harry White our ex centre forward starting to bang them in.I don't want him to do well as we need to get above chester. Osbourne has been instrumental to our improvement in form he's playing really well and we're very happy to have him back.Who knows how long he will stop with us for as you know he has talent beyond this league and personally I would have liked him to succeed at grimsby and get as far as he could but he looks happy and is enjoying his football.Mark Yates and Tim Flowers have transformed us in the short time they have been here,and look a good management team and have given us an outside chance of avoiding the drop.Wishing you all the best fatharry.
Best of luck in staying up Harry. If you see him, ask Tim Flowers if he remembers playing for Wolves at Grimsby, under Tommy Docherty. One of the Wolves players scored a beaut of an o.g. past Tim - lobbed him from outside the box. Probably not a day he would remember fondly! |

I've got that goal somewhere on video, I think it was more a shot than a lob and may have been nearer the half way line although my memory isn't what it was. |

Yeah, mine neither Arry. I think it was a featured game on MOTD or Goals on Sunday or something, a 5-1 win against Wolves. I remember Tony Ford got one of the goals. I'd taped it on VHS and was fuming a few weeks later when I put it in to watch only to find my Mum had taped over it with 'Sons and Daughters'!!  |

We missed a trick by not “pushing the boat out” to use JF’s words and buying the Cowleys out of their then 2- year deal at Lincoln in October 2016.
Sorry but this just wouldn't have happened. They were 3 months into a new job and were already showing signs that they'd have a successful season. In the miraculous scenario that Lincoln would have ever agreed to let us speak to them, I doubt they'd have jumped ship. |

To add to the Cowley bit does GTFC have any pulling power any more?

There was a very strong rumour at the time that we could've had them for 30k. They weren't the hot property they are now though. |

Sutton is in a quite nice area around London. Solihull is a nice place and right near to Brum. Brum itself is starting to become a quite nice city also. So yeah, we have no way near the pulling power in terms of the general living area. |
