we have true pace up front and they have JJOT at centre half . JJOT was spent when he left us and was slow then . It’s a weakness and we will exploit that and give him a more miserable game than JJOT day at Mansfield previously when he got sent off .
Their up turn in form did start when he joined though.

we then move to a stage where planning permission(s) can be sought for any developments to take place. Of course, if these developments are unfeasible, or unacceptable, or illegal, they will not get the required permissions to build, and if the East Stand is not completed within the time frame specified of 5 years, then the tax payer gets the asset back.
I was just composing an email to thank you for your passionate input to the meeting on Monday. This put my concerns to rest regarding the use of the land. I 100% agree with you regarding the ambitions of the Town and how we need to improve cultural offering for this ever to be possible. I suspect many constituents do not see the wider benefit of having a stable and successful football club in the town. A deal that helps the club move forward would be an investment in the Town and county's future for the council. My only remaining concern is the ACV. I was originally suspicious of the Tursts motivation but I am now convinced that the athletics track area should be ring fenced for future use by the club. It would be horrible for the club to see sustained success, only to be boxed in by an industrial estate that prevents further development of the ground and facilities.

Long term no, not without non matchday revenue, or a significant sponsorship deal (which would be relatively short term). I think melbourne was making the point that as a business it could, just not one that would go forward in the way we want. Also believe that if we operate as a sustainable business with no progress on the pitch with the current infrastructure we would naturally drop down the league, which would result in a drop in revenue and would end up on a spiral to oblivion. The boxes need to be sold in a way that encourages the owners to use them on non match days, for meetings, training etc. Either through the annual price or through deals throughout the year. Alternatively agree a deal with someone like Regus to call it the Regus stand (or even Regus Arena) and be able to use the boxes as rentable meeting rooms. Ideally having a few with top spec cameras, interactive boards etc. Lots of companies have got rid of or reduced office space so a central meeting space, near the M1, A14, A45 with video conference facilities (and a large carpark) needs to be marketed properly. Get a wedding license for the Board Room, host wedding fairs, antique shows, classic car shows in the car park etc etc. There are so many options if explored.

My friend watches Aldershot and says that Kanu was head and shoulders above National League level and is surprised he hasn't done more at Boro. He is young, quick and has a point to prove so could be a very shrewd loan signing at our level.

We certainly need a striker now Etete has gone but is our problem really the forwards not finishing the chances we create?
We have had some great results recently but not the result of chances being created from open play.

Only if they are willing to sign the contract extensions placed before them. How many of the current players will JB want in the Third Division?
Personally I would be looking to make sure that the current back 5 (Including keeper) are under contract.

Despite their limitations I thought both Kabamba and Rose did a job today. Won a lot of set pieces and got under their skin with s*** housery.
You would struggle to write a better set of results for us today. Everyone around us dropped points.
Great win but we need to create more chances and offer a bit more from open play.

I would look at spending any budget on securing deals for out key players tbh
I would also look for a cheap loan Wide forward to to compete with Hoskins, Pinnock and Connolly.

I thought this was a statement win tbh.
With key players missing we started poorly and it was clear our plan to take advantage of the weather was more of a hindrance than a help. I think Hoskins goals summed it up nicely, we just wanted it a little bit more. I also think we learned from the Bristol Rovers game though as we managed the lead far better.
