There’s a brilliant thread on here that Phil put together earlier in the season. Here’s the link

I'll update this over the weekend

Samson Hewitt on loan at Inkberrow helped them get promoted last night. With Jack Tolley scoring the winning goal for them

Seems to have gone under the radar..

New kit supplier next season:

Football shirts from recycled material helping the planet.

Here is a crazy suggestion, why not keep the same kit?

All I would want is the red and white halves, a good quality of material and a proper stitched badge. I've had a look online at other kits they have produced and they look alright

The kit we got promoted in last time was, IMO, the worst kit we have ever released.

Anyway, we could be in bin bags for as long as I care providing we do the business Saturday and stay up next season!

In recent seasons the club has gone very quiet once the season is over. Almost like they’re on their holidays!
It would be nice to hear about the futures of the management and the squad this week.
Perhaps some news about season tickets and the new kit.
I am sure we’d love some positive news after the last week

It would be nice to have some kind of statement by the end of the week even it’s just a holding statement. And maybe a more measured response from PB.

No doubt Mr Lane is too busy as its all hands to the pump putting in all nighters as they finalise the Season ticket drive and refine the new shirt launch and retail campaign - or not.

If you can sack a manager for being one win away from winning the league then you certainly must have very high standards for yourself and what it is you re expected to deliver?

The good thing about Phil Brown is that he is very extrovert and honest and with lots of media connections, it will all be born out in a radio interview or podcast as soon as he is back from topping up his tan, or at least his version.

Manager of the Month in March. Sacked in May. Is this a record?

Adam Murray interview in the NLP...

Is there a way to read it that isn’t behind the pay wall ?

Don't think so. Day pass is only £1.99.

Interesting end to the piece...

He mentions garden leave again, did we stick him on it before and if so when?
Club statement didn’t say it was garden leave and I think we all suspect there was more to it, ego kicking in trying to save face

I read it as as soon as we lost in the play-offs he was told to stay away. Writing on the wall then - don’t try and get involved in any decisions with players etc because you ain’t going to be here.
