That's a shame we tend to do well against them

That's probably were they should have been in the first place, Gloucester is hardly in the north.
One less long journey for players and fans alike.

Slightly contentious. I believe they are sharing with Evesham next season, meaning their games will actually be played further north than Brackley, for example. Looks like the decision is based on the position of the town they represent rather than where they're actually playing. Shouldn't it be the other way round?

I've suggested this player twice in the last 3 weeks as a good stopper worth looking into. He is based in Birmingham, but why not? 27 years old with a decent pedigree at our level.

I agree TTT a good experienced keeper is Singh, I really don't get the problem with his age, 27 is no age for a keeper and let's face it we are not asking him to sprint up and down the wing, Look at Bazza age has never been a problem for him or the Boston fan's.

Who said there's a problem with his age?

singh is no better than what we let go. fabian speiss is a better bet in my view. released by alfreton. hear we're in for george willis from gainsboro though but he made an error for our first goal over there on NYD and singh dropped a routine cross for our equaliser in the 2 2 draw

my hunch though is AM will recruit an old pal with football league experience

i hope its not Willis, i stood behind the goal watching him laugh when Gregg Smith's ankle broke.

Keepers do make the odd mistake, especially at semi-pro level. Singh has been consistently good in this division for a few seasons.

Singh has signed for Telford.
That makes good sense considering his base. Good luck to him. When we play them next year and hammer them, I will expect many Pilgrims to tell me he's rubbish and thank god we didn't sign him!
