Exactly right.

Also what about admission prices? Noone is going to pay north of £20 to watch a struggling team in the NLS with no expectation of promotion. So how would we move from a crowd of 1000 odd to a full time model. Its something that needs a hell of a lot of consideration.

No a terrible team isnt reflected in the attendances but these are exceptional circumstances and the games have never been more important. The main issue with part time is our location - its going to be impossible to attract players of an acceptable standard. As soon as the expectation levels drop t...

Cant for the life of me see how anyone can blame Stobbs for the goal. Their full back has caught him studs up square on the knee. Its such on obvious foul, right in front of the linesman. Mind you the officials also chose to miss the assault by Wannell on Ash early in the game which should have been...

I thought we were pathetic but given that we simply have to manage our players for the remaining games and with new any injuries proving catastrophic, it was probably sensible to play out the second half in the way that we did. Thats on the proviso that we beat Weston-Super-Mare on Monday. I'm hopin...

If we go part time we are accepting that we will not be going any higher. Due to our geographical position we will have no chance of competing for players with the London based clubs. On this basis any comparison with the Exeter model is completely ludicrous. I'm sure that the TUST bid is well inten...

And they have put that out straight after the TUST went public. Strange....

Well it wont be but if there are rival bids it would be nice to know before putting moneyt to the TUST iniative

Are you sure that TUST said that it was a single bidder. The consortium lead has over 7 million in his p/l according to companies house so I guess he was the wealthy individual referred to - I am guessing that he is now part of the TUST bid so I would also assume that if he throwing 150k in then tha...

So who are these people with the TUST backed bid then. Does anyone really know. What is their model exactly? Is it to go part time and accept our level is now the NLS.

People saying they will back them with their own money is all well and good but personally I would want to know alot more first.

Why is it excellent news exactly?

Great we've got someone buying the club with assets of 60k

Marshall has had issues at the end of several games seemingly with his hamstring but has reappeared in a short space of time so hopefully its a case of ramp or something and not serious. Yesterdays win was massive and has made a big difference to our chances of staying up. You would think we could w...

Minnapolisgull - do you seriously think this would have ended up any different with Osborne in charge. This is a bloke who had zero interest in football. Always going to happen sooner or later. If you think otherwise you are delluded.

God there is some shit written on here. People google someone and then on that basis decide he is the devil incarnate. Everyone at Port Vale hates him so what - As he was beaten up badly by some of their so called supporters no wonder he couldnt wait to jump ship. Inexcusable i'd say. Who knows he m...

I guess then you dont really know him at all so you are making assumptions. Maybe its best to see how the situation plays out.
