0161 928 1045 used to be the Club's phone number.

Steve, Graham came over and approached the supporters. The supporters did not spot Graham.

Anyway, I was stunned Graham came over. Not the best decision in the world. What did he expect to get? A pat on the pack and a "well, there's always next year"? A round of applause for presiding over the cock up of Griffith, severe drop in form, inability to replace players & appointment of Tolson?

The fans in the area are frustrated with a relegation that many feel could have been avoided if better key decisions had been made.

One of Graham's points was that a manager was not available (of the 42 expressions of interest) after Sinnott leaving. He also did not want to listen to other supporters who were critical of Tolson's tenure. Nor did I like the Chairman shouting for someone to take over his job. It was a no win action that was, frankly, bizarre. Grahame should be applauded for the amount of work he has done for the club over the years, but needs to learn how to handle those who are severely angered with what has happened this season. A priority needs to be getting other people in to assist at this level. Unfortunately, I work out of the country for 10 months a year.

Lets also clear something else up. There was no abuse aimed at Graham's family, although I agree some of what was said in the heat of the moment was over the top.

Back to the match. It was awful. No ideas, no communication. The sort of thing I would expect from a pre-season friendly. Braintree didnt have to get out of 2nd gear. Rankine was off the pitch as soon as the whistle went. I felt sorry for Ginnelly who showed more passion than the rest of the squad.

The most frustrating element is that the group of players could and should have been good enough to avoid relegation, given the right management.

Anyway, Neil Young looks like a good appointment. Even if he has been out of work since leaving Stockport in January.

A far more accurate account.

Positive appointment in Neil Young, fingers crossed.

The initial comments were nothing more than anyone would expect to hear in the circumstances.

Coming over was Graham's decision

Danny interjected of his own initiative and there was a right of reply to that.

There were no comments made about "family"

Maybe not a liar Steve but you need to take off your carnage visors or refrain from pretending you are imparting an even portrayal of events

Doomed

Ah the EDL rent boys were back. I wonder how many the fat bald middle aged one has touched up in the bogs.

Wow you spent all these months preparing that statement, your Mum if you know her must be very proud and next year they'll let you up in to Secondary school.

:-@

I've been on board for years too

The only pubs that I frequent that take contactless are Spoons. I agree that is quicker. most however have one card machine that is usually in use and waiting to authorise. Meanwhile the rest of us wait to be served.

You've obviously never used contactless.

The whole point is that there is no authorisation, it takes one second to put your card against the reader and it is done. Zero hold up to anyone and no fannying around with trips back and forth to the till and counting out change. Add to that the idiots that take a week to get their wallet out and start counting out the right money

No I use contactless regularly and agree it is fast and efficient. Only ever seen it in Wetherspoons pubs, no other pubs that I use.

Ah, well it is in most pubs in the City right along side where there are the most cash points 😀
