Does this mean we're not signing Bennett then? Or are we waiting for him to be match fit?

The keeper is the big one for me. Vince isn't up to it, and we unless we can get Dixon or Max back for the full season we're going to have a hole to fill. What about Farman at Lincoln? They haven't got pots of cash to throw and he was pretty good for us.
I'd like to keep the Newsh on. Been with us through thick and thin, and would be nice to see the club show some loyalty too. Plus he's a different type of striker to Dayle and Jones which we need.
Hopefully we can keep Pidge, I'd also like to have another in midfield so we can have the option of getting Garner back at centre half. Committed, yes. A leader, yes. A centre midfielder? I'm still not sure...
Keeping Rene would be massive (mainly for scoring from 30 yards with ease), and another winger like Felix and we'd be away.
It's gonna be tough again next season. Flyde are still here, I guess Alfreton, Telford and maybe Nuneaton are coming down to us. Plus FCUM and one of Chorley & Guiseley.

The B-Ark / Re: FA please note
« on: May 04, 2015, 08:15:30 PM »I didn't think the officials were terrible yesterday. Not perfect - when are they ever perfect? - but at no point did I ever really feel they were so hopeless that they somehow denied us the win. That was down to us - and an extraordinary equaliser. I thought the female lino was very good and got most, if not all, her decisions spot on, which is all you can ask for really.
This. The ref wasn't great and wasn't awful. Yes he missed things but who doesn't? It's not like the refs at any other level are perfect either. Can't see as the balls being thrown on made much difference either. I certainly can't see the officials being part of a big conspiracy against us.
We had three great chances away and we hit the post at 2-1, score any one of those chances and that worldy overhead kick is a consolation and nothing more. We weren't able to put them to bed and it's cost us. It's a shame but we'll just have to avoid the playoffs altogether and win the bloody thing outright next season.
agree totally with this. Get a keeper keep Pidge and Dayle and we'll have a shout. I'm worried about the team breaking up though...
We were in title winning form after Christmas. Assuming the players who have committed to next season do indeed stay and we can make one or two additions I think we'd have to be in with a shout of the title. And in Pidge we have an exceptional player and leader who belongs at least a level higher, if not more.

The odd sellout, being pretty much every game.
Not sure what the correlation between British American Football and the NFL is though? Professional sport vs amateur sport. Not a comparison you can make.
Here we see pretty much 11 selll outs out of 12.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_International_Series. Better than England's average gate at Wembley?
A superbowl team over here would be 9 home games a season. I reckon you'd have 90% attendance at each one if the UK team was competitive.
British sport could learn a lot from US sport.
As Howmanynames says, it's very entertaining.

I wouldn't say that American Football isn't popular over here. You only have to look at the NFL games in London each year, and the fan rallies before and after. A London franchise would only fail to work because of time differences.
I don't think because they are franchise sports makes them instantly less popular over here. If Soccer was to start again from scratch, just you watch at how quickly it would go franchise. You only have to look at Super League, Rugby Union and T20 cricket to see how franchises are creeping in.
That said, there is the English tradition of cup competitions that I think needs to be preserved, and the FA Cup needs looking after. Doesn't help that the Premier League pays lip service to it..
I'd argue that the Premier League could learn a lot from American Football in terms of the college football set up and keeping players from overexposure and excess at a young age. Obviously all the steroids and shootings are bad however.
I'd also like to see play offs for the Premier League to decide the Champion's League placings, hell even the title, but that's because I don't support one of the big four.
Won't happen though.

Bit worried by the talk of Dayle being struggling with a hernia.
Wouldn't want him to be missing the playoff games.
