I wouldn’t worry about that too much, Hurst is renowned for taking his time with signings and I feel a lot of our options will all be hoping for a football league club to come in for them. I’d be very surprised if we signed anybody before June 10th


To be fair, we know contracts run at varying lengths etc and usually don’t see much in the way of signings early doors anyway.

I know fans like the idea of getting them in and settled and all that jazz early on but sometimes it’s best to at least give yourself some time...also, if he’s looking at some current playing in the upper echelons of the conference they could still be playing...

That said, I’m aware that there’s waiting to make signings and then there’s Holloway time...

Quoted from bobbyturtle
didn't Grimsby get relegated at a vote because it would cost more for a teams from the north west to come across on the train than stay local?


And, weren't we voted into the league once on the proviso we gave every visiting team a crate of fish, or am I imagining that?

It wasn’t suggested as a punishment. What he was saying is that when the NL voted to end relegation this season, they should have retained some jeopardy for the teams who otherwise would’ve been at risk of going down, to make sure that all teams continued to be competitive.

Listen to it again.


A few weeks ago, I covered King's Lynn's match away at Halifax. They lost 4-2, having led 2-0, but were a potent threat to a side in playoff contention for most of that game. The other night, Woking (currently 20th in the table) only lost to the league leaders by the odd goal in five. From what I've seen, and the reports I've read from colleagues who watch them more frequently than I do, those teams are still competitive enough.

But even if you're right, and having listened to the clip several times I don't think you are, it still misses the point that it would be the impact of such a measure that would be more important than the intention. All it would do is punish clubs for something they had no control over. How is that fair?

It’s fairer than relegation.


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.

“As soon as they’ve done that they could have announced that the teams finished bottom start next season with a points deduction. That would have maintained the integrity of the league.” About 20 seconds in.

So I was right about what he said. I don’t know how you can miss that EY.

And you can’t get much less competitive than a team completely ceasing to play.
