Re: Josh bowler

traff Apparently, James Earnshaw is reporting that we are selling Sam Smith to Wrexham.

Re: New betting partner

True. What does baffle me is why anyone would choose a betting app because they have their name on your clubs shirt. You’d chose one that you liked the app or has the best odds. But it must work.

Re: New betting partner

I just think having a “betting partner” is a sad state of affairs really. It's just PR speak for sponsor. I guess if people are going to bet on the football regar...

Re: New betting partner

Unfortunately football betting has always been big business, starting with the pools, and that's never going to change. I don't have any particular problem with this over and...

Re: New betting partner

Maybe the club could use some of the revenue to sponsor a local addiction counselling service? I don't want to seem insensitive to people's concerns, as I said, I don't gamble but I do think that when we play in a league sponsored by a betting company and there are numerous teams who have a betting ...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

not overly excited by this, we can do better... Disagree, he has a previously great record at Barnsley and think he would thrive with us.

Excellent, we need better transport arrangements. Does this mean still going to be no overnight stays?
