He's a good bloke who loves his football. Having met him last year he wants to help any team survive he can.
Great respect for Mr Fry, he does just love the game and helped us out in the last few months of our former existence.
Still Say that Van Der Veldan had the most amazing ball control of any player at our club.

No it doesn't mean that. The Conference have agreed to the two loan/work experience signings to bring their squad strength up to 16.
Surely that makes a mockery of their embargo then?

My understanding is that post 'Chester' the rules were changed to ensure teams could fulfill their fixtures. Under the embargo no senior players can be signed/registered but you can use youth players to fill the squad. Kettrin only (pre embargo) registered 4 youth players who are already part of the squad so can only now loan youth trainees to get to a squad of 16 players.

Kettrin still can loan 1 or maybe 2 other youth player as they will lose their Norwich Loanee after today.

Amazing that Danny Mills who is at least 20 is still considered a 'yoof'. He must has discovered Peter Pan's secret. :D

Thats the oldest youth teamer i've heard of at 20, but it is a bit of strange one as they're under the embargo. I can understand them having the guy with no experience but a player who's made 65 first team appearances make's it look as if they've bended the rules somewhat!

I agree, Danny Mills looks like a manipulation of the rules having previously played at a number of Conference clubs, including a previous spell at the Ploppies. :shock:
I wonder if him and Laurie Walker will be hugging each other before the match bearing in mind Mills engineered to get Walker sent off in the match against Tamworth? ;)

Nobody bothered to check the weather forecast and arrange for the covers to be put on. Obviously Ladick thinks he can get a better attendance for a rearranged Tuesday night fixture. What a shambles.

Hell of a late postponment for a match at such a high level. Hopefully a more professional outfit like Whitworths :D will have their game on as I am off there soon.
