Yes, but, we have been begging the club to scour through the non-league pyramid, no one that I can remember ever begged the club to scour through the park leagues, now did they ?

This place rears its ugly head again.

For years we've had people begging for us to scour the deep non league for talent, to chase local lads with an appreciation of the unique way of life the Devon offers.

We sign a couple of local, non league blokes and suddenly it's an insult to the fanbase.

No wonder no one at the club would dare take this place or any of you lot seriously.

Matt.

Bolton have confirmed they have not paid their players wages for November, I think it's unlikely Lavercombe will end up at that club.

The one thing that bothers me is that Dan has gone to Bolton for them to look at him and obviously spoken to him and could have said see your contract out then we will come in for you. I could be wrong and he will be approach in the transfer window I hope the club do not lose out.

Bolton had 2 loan deals cancelled last week due to lack of finance according to the Guardian Football Weekly podcast They are in the middle of a takeover BUT their debt of $175 might soon be wiped out.

So is Sean Finch the next Jamie Vardy?!

can you link his page please? cant seem to find him.

Well there was a post on facebook earlier in the week suggesting the club were after Nathan Blissett and a post elsewhere seems to confirm the club were after the now Lincoln bound Blissett.

The signing of Finch from Watcombe is on the FB page of our C.E.O so I'm guessing it's correct.

I don't wish to make comment on other no doubt necessary works but I do think every spectator needs a reason to attend games. The Board need to give us that reason. They can only do that if they share their thoughts.

was the striker Nathan Blissett by any chance?

Never mind at least the reception area's transformed!

If that's correct I dare say the lad deserves his chance and good luck to him - but on the face of it the recent signings are almost insulting the fans. Yes- we know we have no money, no experience in the management duo, a small board and not a lot of luck etc but we seem to be just filling the squad with complete and utter long shots. To be candid we seem devoid of any attempt at any real answers. There are Peninsula League sides showing more get up and go. The games in December before the window reopens will be key if we are fight off going regional but we seem on the face of it to be just accepting that fate. Perhaps I am annoyed after what seems to yet another frustrating day for United and am misreading things but I do think it is time the Board gave us their take on things. They need at this stage to convince people to come to games based on what their long term plans for the club are.

Well the club may have missed out on the striker they were after, however TUFC has made a signing today apparently, it is forward, it is drum roll....Sean Finch from Watcombe Wanders.

No chance of this sort of thing happening for the Gulls, of course: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-34922350

Oh well we'll just have to soldier on with what we've got and see how far adrift we become by January 1.
At least Paul Cox managed to get in two loan players today for Barrow.
