Callum Stead
Heard from a friend he has signed for Barnet. Nice step up the ladder for the lad. Hope it continues!

Re: Am I an optimist
It's the Burkey way when you think about it. The 2016/17 team came good in Burkey's 5th year as manager? He seems to have a nack of developing talent.
The rebuild that came from that success took the same time I can see next season being a rather good one.

Re: Luton Town
Also at Wembley on Saturday fortunate enough to be given a ticket by a good friend.
Brilliant day with the weather perfect. Still cant believe what I saw and just hope next season does not prove embarrassing.

Re: Our Home Grown Match Reporters
I couldn't separate any of them all have there own way with words. All excellent. Pipeman very unique which I like. I believe Barry Swain used to do some reports? He was also very good with words. We have been very lucky with match reporters last 30 years or so. I have almost all of the newspaper r...

Re: Hednesford

Re: Our Home Grown Match Reporters
There's been so many match reporters over the years,too many to mention,and connected to the two main local newspapers at the time, The Hertfordshire Express and The Pictorial, now only The Comet is still running. But my thoughts are with more recent times, and three names come to mind, Reliable Ro...

Re: Financial fair play
Even if wage caps were introduced to non league it would never stop the brown envelopes being handed out with the cash in! I’m sure HMRC would open a hornets nest if they descended unannounced on semi pro clubs. Certainly cant disagree with your point there Steve. I like Becca's idea but cant see t...

Re: Financial fair play
Is there really financial fair play at top level, I don't think so. Many big clubs spend way beyond their means and have transfer embargos for not following the rules. Also if things go badly there is always some foreign investor waiting in the wings. The difference at our level is an individual wi...

Financial fair play
Something that has grated me for some years and often used in the Top 4 divisions. Financial fair play. It does not exist at our level. Clubs spending beyond there means and having a guy whose willing to pump the money in well beyond the clubs take? Ive seen loads down the years Arlesey,Histon,St Ne...

Re: Royston game
Thoroughly agree Peter. It was a great afternoon. A lovely day, big local derby, big crowd - it was all set up for us to fail but someone forgot to give the players the script. We held on a bit in the first half but had some great chances in the second. To score with virtually the last kick of the ...
