I think we’re well prepared and capable of giving a good account of ourselves. I haven’t a clue about Maidstone and what they have to offer.

I think Connor Kirby is at Buxton?
I assume he must want part time only.

Good news!
I think hobgoblin IPA is very tasty indeed! 😉
I expect PP commenting on Alty TV about these new signings.

Go on Youtube and add Alex Samizadeh into the search. There is a 2-3 minute compilation of his skills from the age of 18, great watch and I can't wait to see his goal celebration!
I get the feeling a very promising career has come off the rails a bit and fortunately he finds himself at our door. PP is the very man to get him back on track. Both Alex and Alty have a huge amount to gain if his potential is fulfilled here.

It would help if they didn't leave the mic open when they're not using it. The interference early in the second half was like a farting competition.
If there is an official club approved farting competition would it be possible to put my name forward please?

Would that be for the old fart category? 😊
Great! So there is then. I’ll be in touch. Off to practice. 🤭

Same here, I had my mother's funeral yesterday, she died at the ground old age of 101 years.
Sincere condolences Steve. I know the loss when your mum goes. Like you say 101 is a splendid innings. x.

Or does it signal the exit of Toby?

I doubt it, I spoke to Toby today he is very happy and proud to be vice captain

Just because good players come in doesn’t mean another good one is going.
Just what we all wanted to hear.

I am a glass half full kind of guy, as you are all aware. I actually think that Phil has now got his squad sorted. I am very happy with the signings we have made. The James Jones one I did not see coming at all, but he was a superb centre back when he was last here and I did not want him to go. Fortunately, Toby stepped up to the plate, Tom Hannigan was already an established centre back. Both James and Lewis Baines are substantial replacements. Though I was sad when we lost the old guard due to going full time, we have attracted a good calibre of replacements and have the makings of a good squad now. Losing Matt and Isaac to injury was a blow, but now we have strength in depth throughout the team. Fans are bound to worry a little when we make changes to the squad and change the dynamics of part time to full time, but I think we should trust Phil and Neil. They have never let us down with recruitment in the past, sometimes signings work and sometimes they don't. I think both of them have applied a great deal of thought to the squad during close season. Look down the road at M16, and see what has happened there during close season. The United fans have been pulling their hair out, and I don't blame them. Phil and Neil have gone about their rebuild quietly and efficiently and I have been very impressed. None of the stress that our neighbours have been through. Just a bit of excitement, speculation and chat on the fan's site, I love the way our club have done it. Midfield I think is still strong, we have signed Josh back again, and though we are unfortunate to lose Isaac and Matty, we have good cover for their positions. Finally with the forward line we have the ever reliable Jordan Hulme, Ryan Colclough is still a great danger to the opposition down the left, and Marcus Dinanga has started to score in our friendlies, following on from what he did at Dartford. We now also have who I think may be the key signing in our forward line Alex Samizadeh. I still am not sure how to pronounce his surname, but my god he is going to cause opposing defenders some problems. His footwork is superb and he has many tricks up his sleeve. Phil told me he is 23, still young and yet to reach his peak, needs a little work on his finishing but has great potential. If anybody can bring this out of him, Phil and Neil can. I spoke to Alex yesterday and he is a very nice fellow too. He is one of the players I am looking forward to watching. I remember being blown away by his play at Trafford, and shouting great skills 18, fantastic. He actually remembered that when I spoke to him yesterday. We need to give him support and encouragement and I know he will come good. My minds eye tells me he will win us a couple of penalties too, as opposing defenders have their blood twisted.

I understand the negativity because for a few years we had it so bad, but this is the Phil and Neil era now and we should trust them and remember this a very exciting time to be at the club. I am so looking forward to this season, we all should. How high can we finish, not we're doomed!
What a cheerful post Steve and I find your positive observations quite infectious. We know the coming season won’t be without setbacks and hiccups but we’re in better shape than I anticipated a few short weeks ago. If we can recruit Lady Luck as well we’ll be absolutely fine. Looking forward to August 6 and beyond now. 😎

Final friendly before the season opener next week. I assume we'll see Parky's expected starting 11 on the pitch at some point. For me it's getting the forward line minutes together as most haven't played many pre season minutes together this far. So Hulme up top, Conn Clark in the 10, Ryan and Alex on the wings.

Interesting to see whom Utd field, against Wrexham the other day, many 1st teamers got a run out, although with Utd first team playing Saturday and Sunday doubt, there will be many at out game.
Perhaps Ronnie if not in the good books LOL.
Spread that rumour and we’ll have a bumper gate even if they’re only made up of the world’s press! 🥳

It's only Chesterfield who live in cloud cuckoo land under the. deluded belief they are Real Madrid and Barcelona rolled into one that nobody can resist. Toby more sense than to want to go.

The number one answer to the thread appears to be to get JL to merge his content into the official website. Is that such an odd thing to do?

The first face I met at Alty when I moved to the area in 2000. I wandered into the stadium and Derek came to greet me with a warm smile. Remember paying by cheque for my first season ticket in the office to him and how chatty and approachable he was. Real old school but in a really appealing way. Sad he's passed on. Sympathy to his family and RIP Derek. Real gent.

What has happened to our Wainwrights too, no longer available on handpumps and the electric pump one is nowhere near as good in the CSH.

The Wainwright was giving me reflux at the end of last season, so I switched to the 61 Deep. Still not a hand pump obviously, but a decent enough beer.
agreed about 61 deep. Is it just me or is £4.10 a pint (which 61 deep is) a big steep for a north west non league supporters bar or am I living in the past?
