James Walshaw's family life and job demands are very similar to Stuart Coburn, Nicky Clee, Jake Moult and Reevesy .


Now I'm worried

I wouldnt be. Nicky said he'd like to as did Stu

The other two might like the 'promotion' for the extra income to support their family - same as any of other person getting a promotion in their day job

Its always a big step going from regional into national football, arguably one that should see promoted clubs come in for a readjustment payment. As long as we aren't building from scrap like Chester had to last season then so be it. A spine of a team is just that, and if we have that I'll be happy as we can build around it. Enjoy promotion and enjoy the sunshine, 6 days ago we would have all sold a kidney to be in this position now. We will see what tools weve got to work with tomorrow night. I'm more interested in finding out what preseason games we've got coming up. We need to run with probably 20/22 players this year so plenty of things to happen before August 9th. We'll be kicking off in the league where we belong 11 weeks tomorrow, and I don't care if its against Braintree or Bristol, Wrexham or welling Im basking in promotion glory and cannot wait, no matter what 11 take the field.
Three cheers for the goose green reds.

I agree, the National is a totally different prospect and the players have to make the decision that is in both theirs and the clubs best interests... even if its heartbreaking to the fans. At least those who do sign will be 100% committed to the cause and who knows who else LS has his eye on. Cruik(..sey) is right, a hugely enjoyable summer awaits and then down to business with whichever 11 that the manager and his team put together for the next level.

Sums it up.  Leave it with Lee to attract players, selling Skrill premier to some players is going to be easier than selling them the idea of Skrill North. Feet up for the fans yeah....unless you're one of the folk working on the flags.
