    We could've had the activity and intent of Port Vale, if only there was someone who wanted to buy us with the intent of investing... :unsure:



    Oh well, don't know where we'd find that kind of person! Looking forward to more signings and glad we've clearly had our targets lined up before the start of the window. 2 loans in 13 days, not bad at all! I'm sure we'll bring in some talented players instead of a bunch of handmedowns. I mean, we are supposed to be going for promotion aren't we?

    Our liability is consistantly signing under achievers. Whatever the budget we just seem to get more vrong than right which is hindering any progress.

    If you think only a points deduction puts us in danger of relegation then you should think again.

    This current sleep walking state has us in real peril and we're just as likely to go down as we are to leave the division in the opposite direction.

    Year on year regression and you STILL think we're safe as houses because we aren't in debt?

    How much of that being on the brink was different parties trying to get the best deal?

    Yeah, but console yourself with the fact that if we DID go down, we'd be able to bully all those minnows with our massive warchests and bounce straight back up at the first time of asking.

    ...

    ...

    As long as none of the decent, well-backed teams in that division are still there, that is.

    You can't call them midgets anymore, Marks and Spencer said so.

    Marc White, owner/manager
    What they've done is embedded themselves locally
    I have no idea about how far the Bantam net is cast, but I doubt it's similar to Dorking
    They are a FA Charter Standard Youth club with over 25 youth teams from U9’s to U16’s playing across 4 local county leagues supporting 30+ qualified youth coaches
    If that's not generating a pipeline of local talent and support I'm not sure what is

    Prime example Colchester, however if their sugar daddy disappears or falls out of favour with the club it owes him around £35 million!

    Ollie Banks from Barrow I'm hearing we've offered £40k but Barrow don't want to lose him, Ian Banks son, I believe he plays attacking midfield, 7 goals from 20 appearances, cracking shot on him like his old man.

    Would be really happy with that. I cannot imagine Barrow letting him go for that though

    Steady Roger, they aren’t far from me and it’s all pie in the sky as yet.

    Taken from the local paper. The say the club can ONLY sustain payment of the the loan back to the council IF the council provide them with an interest FREE loan to build it. The have no funding lined up whatsoever. If the council won’t give them one they have to go to banks at commercial loan rates and as a result they CANNOT afford it.

    The scheme is wholly reliant on an interest free loan from the taxpayer, pure and simple.

    “The club are currently exploring ways to finance the potential deal but are unwilling to commit any further money to the project for now given that they are unsure if they will be given the green light for their preferred location. Peterborough City Council is currently in the middle of an independent masterplanning process and the club does not expect the results of that to come until at least February.”

    Hope that helps?
