No KON , it was david holdswoth who found most of them ( plus SW who found our best player Pearson )  Budget reduced a couple of times too .

Let's not be-little the Scott n Hurst revelation, they turned us round.  Yes they inherited an Ilkeston team and brought much of it along for the ride, but they dug out results and got players to perform above their station regularly. 
So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

Just a minute! So what if Holdsworth found then.Your argument is that players won't travel to Boston?

I think what hes trying to say is that with reduced wages at this level of football players wont travel so far as the wages dont cut it. Totally agree with Bos Leake JL is forming a squad that geographically makes sense for the travelling to training and budget etc. The team to me is being around youth who may not be good enough to walk away with the league but compete and develop. This isnt the club that can pay players in London a hefty wage to travel to matches and not train with the club like past managers have allowed.

Dont get me wrong would love to see a David Rennie type centre back or an Andy Kirk type centre forward but we are where we are.

The problem with that kind of squad building is that for every Andy Kirk, there are 3 Miguel De Souza's

I know we train mostly at RAF Cranwell to try and reduce the travelling for the players midweek but maybe we should look at training even further afield i.e. the Nottingham / Leicester area to give us more scope when it comes to attracting players.

A lessoin reality for the dreamers demanding the managers bring in good players from further a field .
Teams like Guiseley , halifax hyde etc get the pick of good quality ex- league players on the doorstep .
OK, you want to entice them to Boston !
 
 1  To come to Boston would involve 3 trips a week totaling 600miles + for training and   
     matches .
     Cost :  Petrol, wear and tear of car ,  £95 / week .

  2  To fit in this travelling they would have to probably lose 3/4 hours pay a week at day
      job .
     Cost:    Depending on profession , say £50 a week

If they come to Boston for a extra £200 wage a week, taking into account above figures +
extra tax and NI they will make a net gain of about £40 a week .

So to pocket £40 week extra (less the cost of fish and chips on the way home three times a week) to come to Boston what impact  does it have .?
 Mainly they exchange spending 12hrs at home with family for 12 hrs a week driving along
a motorway .
If we were realistic about tempting these players to Boston offering to double their wages would be futile.

These moaners are wise sticking to fantasy football ,  mush easier than the real thing .

I knew several years ago, the club trained somewhere near Newark
