As there is less than half a dozen posters and the board closes then its hard luck! But try as much as you like. I will decide when not to post. not any of you temporary fans. Have you got that?

Any of you been to the forum last night?
Nobody is trying to stop you from posting it's just that the needle is stuck in the record (remember them?) You seem to be equating playing at the back of the park with professional football. There is a World of difference. I played back of the park and the odd league higher up at the same time as you and my scoring record was a goal every two games but I was nowhere near pro level I played with some guys who had had the odd game with a pro league team reserves. They were miles better than me, on a different planet even. I often wondered how good they would have been with some proper coaching instead of jog round the pitch now sprint etc. The job of the academy is not only to produce players but to prepare them for life without football. In you time Mike any youngsters who did not make it struggled to get a decent job as their time for an apprenticeship had passed. Can I suggest you try and take a trip to Rease Heath and see the set up!
