Absolute desperation, the signing that’s confirmed our relegation. I knew Hurst was the wrong decision and this just confirms it.


We’ve got your brother/mate Fenty to thank for that.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The problem is we are where we are. Thanks to Fenty (and latterly Horrorway) people are getting excited about signing a Tier 6 player.

Humbocod is a Fentinista, but he’s moaning about where his pal has led us.

No problem mate - you can Google which leagues Halesowen and Folkestone play in, then Google which division Hereford play in, then compare the results.



Folkestone and Halesowen both play the equivalent of one league below NLN/S I think so not a lot of difference really .

My memories of the Shop are him holding the ball in the corner for long periods of tome and also being able to take a last minute penalty when nobody wanted him to .
Made of the right stuff , I just hope he’s still good enough

Wonder what number he was on Hurst's initial list of prospective strikers.

Not hotly disputed enough. A disgraceful piece of refereeing, cannot understand how Ross Joyce can continue to work.


Good job swin doesn’t post anymore, he’d be all over you like a rash for a comment like that.

A very accurate comment for the record 🙂

Only signing ex-players was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment which seems have been taken too seriously by some.

You were correct the first 3 weren't but the next one was and if LJL signs....  

Being more serious let's look at the signings

Sam Habergham - was well liked at Lincoln but is coming back after a serious knee injury. IF he can get back to his best could be a good signing.
Rollin Menayese - a Loan from a fellow struggling club in League Two.
Jay Matete - A 19 year-old from a League One side. A tough situation for a young lad to come into.
Stefan Payne - Possibly the best signing so far and could give some presence up front as we can't rely on Hanson too much these days but another coming back from a long term injury.
LJL? - I understand people saying he is better than what we have but I am not sure he improves on that too much, especially now we have Payne.

Are those signings enough to keep us up? I have my doubts. You may think they improve on what we have and it's hard to argue with that but do they improve us enough? I guess time will tell.

I'm not blaming Hurst for any of the signings either, he has no choice now but to roll the dice and it can't be easy to attract players to the club.

I really hope the new owners have a club in the Football League next year, to start with a National League club would just make their job all the more difficult, I think.



I am encouraged by the signings given the circumstances we find ourselves in. I would be less encouraged if we were pushing playoff spots.

3 reasons for that...
1. As you say, attracting people to Town at this particular moment will be hard. It always is cos if our geographical location , then add our current league position and short term contracts.

2. We are shite. Really shite. It's a low start point and I do think the additions will be an improvement whilst not blowing us away.

3. We just need to stay up, and I dont care how we do it. I'm not expecting free flowing passing football. We just need some fighters, some people who can hold up play, read the game, stick themselves in the way.

Personally I think LJL is a very good signing for us within the current criteria.
