He has gone back to Derby - personally not bothered if he was pushed or just recalled. Have no doubt whatsoever that DC will bring in a better keeper & in the meantime we have "clean sheet Will" so no worries.

In all honesty not many of the players DC has brought in have delivered but we have not paid anything which may be a good thing based on the £50,000 which was so say paid for Blissett. In all honesty this is complete bollocks!

£15,000 up front further £15,000 based on appearances = £30,000 - probably about right. Bliss much more experienced than their 'Ted loanee Arnold Garita who has been leading the line for Argyle recently.

Everyone still just guessing - let's give the owner a full 12 months before we have another a Shrewsbury style meltdown. I'm pretty sure he has everything in hand but then I too am just guessing!

Dunkley outstanding against us for Kidderminster in that game when Blissett also stood out in our Conference season & soon after signed for Oxford. I do rate him but is he that much better than Hartley that we would pay a sizeable sum for......not sure!!

About 3 or 4 games ago they set up a Mobile bar by the Pasty van at the bottom end of the WSE - no cover or shelter but on a decent day should be an easy place to get a drink as I am yet to see it busy!

So our owner tells us via a PM to a Gashead that constantly tweets him for updates - that we are definitely getting a new stadium either UWE or somewhere else - & as its Christmas some on here start saying "oh no we won't" - Wael say will will - I guess we have to trust him.

It's not a site that would easily get PP for residential or industrial use & no one would want to live there as the noise from the M4/5 interchange is never ending.
It's basically agricultural land that's been used for sports pitches.
So my point is it's highly unlikely the owner could get more for it than we are prepared to pay as in reality, other than another professional sports club, who could really make use of it?
Hoping to hear we have purchased within a month or two.

One of Conrads best mates - an ex jockey called Tom Messenger - works with my daughter near Stratford, he visited in the Summer & one of his comments to Lucinda was "once a Gashead always a Gashead" - nice lad!

I feel exactly the same way as you. Stuck in the uwe with no choice to drink elsewhere isn't my idea of a great thing I went to the Welly once and was staggered by the price they charged for drinks, it is far cheaper at The Mem. Happy hour in the Thatchers End Bar £2.50 for Thatchers Gold or Butcombe before 1.30pm for 3pm ko or I think it's 6.30pm for a 7.45pm ko - just about th cheapest beer/cider in town and the money goes towards running the club!

So the land has been purchased has it??
Only a a day or two ago someone on here told me that we were in negotiations with a greedy chap from Ireland.
It sounds like our owner moves pretty quickly when he can!

If a deal of some kind wasn't agreed, or at least discussed, then how could he get a feasibility report without any proposed stadium cost figures to work on, or even say finance was in place? Some proposed figures must have been discussed although whether those figures made the scheme feasible is now anybodies guess. I ask the same question again, has any figure even been discussed with UWE?
How in the hell would anyone on this forum have access to that information. just a lot of guessing going on!

my friend I go back as far as 1965 and by far the best keeper we ever had was dick sheaperd until the tranmere forward kicked him in the head , Shep was a reasonable keeper. Nowhere near as good as Martin Thomas,who in my 52 years of Gas watching, is comfortably the best we have had. Martin Thomas was good but Nigel Martin was bloody brilliant. No one better.

Will Puddy - no goals conceded in 25 consecutive games - what a man!

Not in Swansea's interest to have a player out on loan not playing is it. He can equally not play back in Swansea. Possibly the most curious signing of DCs time. No way - he was rated at Yeovil but obviously not as good as DC hoped but as for curious - surely not as strange as the signings of Wall and Goldberg during our Conference season.

Good lad seems quite well balanced, good control, great vision, can pick and deliver a pass and on a good day rarely gives it away.
Not the quickest across the ground, not a physical presence and not great in the air.
Worth his position for the 2/3/4 passes a game that unlock defences.

No chance of getting him they won't let him go cheap but I bet Taylor will go on the cheap,can't see a championship side paying much for him he doesn't work hard enough When did you change your username tbone? 60 odd goals in about 110 games - but doesn't work hard enough!!! I really don't care too much about work rate with that record of success.

Great player, local lad, Gashead, dad was a real Gashead, involved in 3 Rovers promotions, played superbly since he joined us when we were non league to help us get back into the League.
To my mind he deserves a break from time to time, needs one now too.
Respect please to one of the best lads to pull on the B&WQs.

Puddy not to blame for either goal, both well taken by the Bury lads after poor defensive headers.
Thought Will's distribution and kicking was excellent. He had little else to do.
Pleased for him as much as anyone that we won, if we had lost I hate to think of the criticism he would have got!!
