A longish and interesting chat with Matt Dean that covers many of the issues we have been discussing on here. Well worth a listen.

Thanks for posting that. It was a very good enlightening listen.

4 locations in the town for a new training ground and Barretts is not the favorite, so I wonder where the other 3 are? Also, he emphasised that we not moving to a new stadium and staying at BP for the foreseeable future. He hoped for 2 signings in January and funds are there for Hursty, but the decision is up to Hurst.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Think he said only not the favourite because he didn’t have an informed view on the situation, so might end up being the most viable in the end.

Would imagine Barrats being so close to the College is a major plus. Anyways, exciting times ahead.

I wonder if the previous regimes desired location for a stadium, Peaks Parkway, is one of them.

I don’t think we’ll see significant new investment until Fenty is paid off.

Love the Northcoders idea, proper community stuff that 👍

Echo DB’s comments - thanks for posting, I’d have missed this if you hadn’t.

The more I hear from JS the more I like what he stands for. Love the emphasis on it being a long-term project and sustainable in preparation for the next set of custodians, whilst still recognising the need to strengthen the playing squad. Great philosophy and so many reasons to be optimistic.

There were some contractors on Clee Fields taking core samples of the ground last Tuesday.  Got talking to them and they told me that there are plans to extend the all weather courts, along with a building being built next to the sports hall. They told me it was to do with sports England. Could Town be involved with this?  It ticks all the boxes for a training ground in the town

Fits with a community ethos and might be shared with Cleethorpes Town too. Anyone know what's going on with the fields on Taylors Avenue too?

Interesting interview and it’s great to see some real initiatives at the heart of things.

I can’t help but think Jason is whistling in the wind a bit about wealth distribution in football. It mirrors what’s gone on in the wider world in the past 30-40 years. Wealth is concentrated in fewer hands and income differences between top and bottom have got wider. Those st the top don’t seem ready to volunteer change.


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.
