Was disappointed when I first heard the news of his departure this afternoon. However, I strongly suspect the move to Northwich was all but done before he left and we don't want parasites who behave like that at our club anyway. I suppose that's part of the chance you take when you sign a "name", but I'd rather he left now than sat in the stand waiting for his contract to expire.

At the end of the day, it's a big chunk taken off our wage bill without sacrificing any first team regulars so I think I'll sleep quite easily tonight.

I remember when I went through a spell of buying one sausage at the Robins' retreat for every goal we scored. And then one day I found they weren't open after matche any more...

What has that got to do with anything?

Carlisle United and Doncaster Rovers are living proof that there is light at the end of the tunnel. One could argue that being in the Conference was the catalyst for their respective successes since.

Is a ground share with Witton an option? I suppose with Runcorn already playing there it probably isn't?

He has ruined their club

Agreed. However, the people who are running the show now aren't doing much better. They should never have gone full time when they did and nor should they have employed a manager whose knowledge of non league football outside Sussex seems more than a little sketchy. We've already lost an old adversary in Runcorn and sadly it appears as though Vics are heading down the same route.

Terrible.

I was at that game it was stunned silence, from me not because we were out of the cup but because I had a lot of respect for Bernard and felt sorry for him.

Totaly agree with this mate but couldn't find the right way to word it earlier. It most certainly was not a protest.

I don't think we are talking about the same Burscough game!

I'd already arrived at the same conclusion. 

However, I do also recall the woeful performance to which you referred.
