The fact that Rolls has given out his personal email address is pretty laughable from our point of view. He can expect some applications from world renound managers like Egbert Nobacon and Jimmy Floyd Hasselhoff in the coming weeks.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Given your success on football manager you must be one of the candidates for the job ;)

This is actually a factual statement.....do you remember the old coaches that used to shuttle us down to the games on a Saturday? Souls?? the owner of that business was named Robert.

Even more to the point, when i was at school we used to have these buses take us to Wollaston and the main fleet coach did actually have Robert Souls written on the back. Clearly as a pubescent teenager this got some mileage

So come on, who's going to sign his email up to anything thing they can think of? Bomb his inbox with crap, crap and more crap, he's probably used to it since he bailed K*ttering out!!!

I see they are making a big thing of the fact they are now accepting PayPal for season tickets. Let's just hope the Poppies fans are aware of the many limitations of the PayPal protection scheme for non-tangible items - and whether they might be prone to the triangular selling issues if they link a credit card to PayPal similar to those seen with the Amazon Marketplace.

Still, I'm sure there will be plenty of "PayPal experts" on Poppynet who will advise them...

07/08 Derby County, 1994/95 Ipswich and 1993/94 Swindon all are members of the -50 club from the Premiership. Derby was -63.

01/02 Stockport (-60) is the only Championship club in the club since 1992.

09/10 Stockport (-60) and 1992/93 Chester are only two League One clubs in the -50 club since 1992

97/98 Doncaster had a -83 in League Two! Torquay had -54 in 95/96 and Darlington had -54 in 09/10.

If -48 stands the Ploppies would only be the 9th worst in the Conference on goal differential since '92, Leigh RMI tops the chart in 04/05 with a -67. Lewes, Stafford Rangers, Droylsden, Grays, Farnborough, Northwich all representing.

The old Diamonds worst GD since 94/95 - the league two relegation season, -32. But only 4 out of 17 seasons did we have a negative.
