Erm - according to some ITKers on this forum the development squad is being dropped in a cost-cutting exercise! Maybe not quite as ITK as they like to believe!

I understand the budget has been cut already and will be further cut this coming season. I asked Wael when the rumours first started. He said it will always be the manager's choice regarding the budget. That GC said he wanted to use mainly our own youngster's for the development squad. So he can put more into the first team squad. He wanted quality over quantity. So don't think we will be brining in many from other clubs, who might be on a bit more money.

You will only get quality over quantity if you spread your net far and wide.

Lost 3-1 vs Slimbridge. Alex Battle scored our goal and unless there are two players with the same name he's an ex Plymouth Argyle striker.

Has it gone up again this season? Wycombe announced to their fans that they have been forced to cut the playing budget for this coming season.

Wycombe announced to their fans that they have been forced to cut the playing budget for this coming season. Was taking about last season. We were told they were not investing anything, but then the budget went up, not down. Have a feeling it will go down slightly, as we are losing so much money. A lot depends on sponsorship deals etc.

I understand the budget has been cut already and will be further cut this coming season. Wael said the deficit last year was because they gave the manager (DC) everything he wanted.

Anyone planning on going to Cossham Street tomorrow? I guess we'll put out a similar team to the Slimbridge game, with the first team off to the Emerald Isle?

It looks like the Frome fixture has been cancelled, but I contacted Frome to ask why and they said no, we are playing Rovers in Friday the 19th. Cannot see that they will send a first team to Frome

Cannot see that they will send a first team to Frome Frome has always been down to be U19s hasn't it? It got moved to Friday a few weeks ago and Frome were promoting it yesterday so I doubt it's been cancelled.
