Quoted from Rodley Mariner


Usual kind of thing? I have to disagree. I cannot remember anyone at the club in recent history speaking so much sense and clearly from the heart. I can’t remember Hurst engaging with the fans in this way. Bignot, I believe tried to say what he thought the fans wanted to hear, not necessarily what he really thought. Slade was just full of shite. But with Jolley, I actually believe in what he is saying and slowly but surely, I'm seeing it reflected on the pitch. I also don’t think its any coincidence there appears to be a better, more positive atmosphere around and towards the club.

Agree with Heppy completely on this.

It's a good piece, he's very articulate and clearly "gets" the club.

However, I am absolutely astounded that the club hasn't put on any offers for the game on Saturday. Criminal really. A full ground with home fans in each stand would definitely give us an edge over a side who regularly play in front of less than 1500.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

Yeah, i'm more than a bit surprised too. Are they resting on their laurels again?

Spot on!  
He's a Jolley good ambassador for the club and with his arrival I suspect it is not a coincidence that since his 'foot-in-mouth' impromptu interview in the car park we have not seen or heard from Mr Fenty.  In fact since that incident all the club's PR seems to have gone up a notch or three, and keeping Fenty gagged has been a blessing imho - even though the on-the-pitch PR has been a nightmare... until Saturday.

Well said Michael, perfect communication with us fans and the right mix of realism and aspiration; together we can all succeed!
