They'd be well rid of him. You have to be suspicious of anyone who'd go in with him still in place. I hope for KL fans' sake that they get local people involved.

That remains to be seen. Why would someone from Singapore 'invest' in KL. 'Strong fanbase'?! 'Sustainable'? Mmmm. We'll see......

Have just watched the KL manager's interview after the game. I think he spoke well about the game and KL's situation. It's also rather longer than our manager's interviews!

Their manager looked pretty inert most of the game from where I was sitting. If we didn't already know that things are not going well on the other side of the Wash, we would from their fans chants in the second half.
Hazel, Smart (and Rowe before them) have been excellent additions. One of the things I like is that from taking so long with throw-ins and dead ball situations, we now look as if we're keen to get on with it. The team as a whole has much more pace and urgency about it.

I agree that it was a good performance. My only comment on the ref is that both she and our team seemed to realise at about the same stage (some time into the game) how to deal with the usual approach of a Billy Heath team. We certainly stood up to them. The first goal summed up for me what we've been missing - a pacey wide player willing to take on and beat the fullback, and to deliver a cross that found Knowles where he should be. Too often this season Knowles and Mooney have been forced to go looking for the ball in wider areas and as a consequence are not in place to take advantage of a good ball such as we saw (not that there have been many of those). Smart seems an excellent addition, and I thought Hazel also was impressive, not that anyone had a bad game. UTP!

Couldn't agree more, Pete. One might have marginally more sympathy if there wasn't the unpleasant undercurrent. Only Fylde in my experience has been as unwelcoming. The tone is often set by the chairman.

As I share the negative views about KL's owner, stewards and some supporters (I assume there are decent ones, as with all clubs) expressed in previous posts, I shall not be going on Boxing Day as I am reluctant to put money into the club. I want to enjoy a day out and not find it's unpleasant. There are much more enjoyable away days in our league, where the people seem pleased to see you.

Given what Cleeve is posting, and if you can believe him, it seems so. If that's the case, he only has himself to blame. It's unsustainable, for a start, to be full-time on the gates they get (604 for last midweek game) and to use hotels etc. Delusions of grandeur.

I too am wondering what our current system is. Last night I missed my first home game of the season as I couldn't face 50 miles each way for what I correctly assumed would be a training session for sundry players from various categories. I've held on to the new system and given it the benefit of the doubt, but after a promising start (and I don't doubt anyone sane would expect an immediate charge to top of the table), I am concerned that we're in danger of going backwards. I also backed Cully, but he does himself no favours in appearing rather aloof. But what do I know?
