Well Dolan looks a player. He had more shots in the match than the whole of our teams had in the last 4 or 5 matches. Nice to see.. Not difficult is it. Create a bit of space and have a shot.

Watched that confrontation a few times and Can’t get out of my head Osbournes reaction when asked if a new ground was on the agenda, his response was an instant and unequivocal “YES”
When asked where his reaction was a hesitant delayed and “we don’t know”
Frightening people in charge of our club

SWgull what I said was in 3/4 weeks we might be back to full strength plus 2 additions. It cannot happen in 7 days.

Dave ,lets look at it from his point of view, you had an unequivocal yes there will be a new ground,we believe it or believe it not. What we do know and it is probaby universally accepted football at plainmoor will never raise the revenue even to cover the bills let alone get us back into the league. Location of such new stadium, why would he tell us, they may be looking at several venues, everybody finds out the first thing that would happen is the land owner puts their price up ,second the TUST has a few quiet words with their mates on the council to put a spanner in the works because it does fit with their speciifc vision for the club. I am not defending him in any shape or form , I am not saying what he mentioned yesterday is truthful but to my mind Edwards did not have to talk to us yesterday, he did for a short time and may have said more until the idiots started abusing him.

That wasn't Osborne it was CEO George Edwards who runs the club.

Get real the TRUST are an unnecessary distraction, without Clark Osborne there would be no club

You carry on burying your head in the sand

The real question now though is, with Clark Osborne, will there still be a club?

Bring back the cowshed??? Sounds a bit suspect to me!

Dawson was a gamble most people were happy with until it became a weapon to beat GJ with.McGavin has shown some potential this season and others you mention would normally be replaced by loan players and become squad fillers but that isn't happening and it has everything to do with financial backing or the lack of it. Despite all the hysteria we're 2 points off the play offs.

Don’t worry by next Wednesday we will be more points away from the playoffs

Most fans were happy because they didn't, and couldn't know of Dawson's fitness issues. Johnson surely did know and at least the club should have given him a medical.
Like the case with Hall, if you have a limited budget it is unwise to spend it on players with limited availability.
