Arnau Riera being a good example, bizarrely signed by Sunderland a few years back.


I remember him. Got sent off in the famous League Cup tie at Gigg after 3 minutes when we beat Sunderland 2-0.

Charlie Austin signed for QPR today. I expected him to end up in the Prem but yeah, good signing for QPR that

Championship Winners:
Leicester
Promoted:
Notlob, Forest (play-offs)

League One Winners:
Peterborough
Promoted:
Wolves, Preston (play-offs/Grayson is L1's promotion god)

League Two Winners:
Fleetwood
Promoted:
Chesterfield, Portsmouth, Bury (play-offs/hopefully/unrealistic)

If we don't win the play-offs (likely), we will win the award for the most active team in the transfer market

I actually don't mind the Ricoh. Yes, it looks crap and I don't know what the atmosphere is like on a cold tuesday night but I actually enjoyed my visit there last season

We got picked up a 1-0 victory at Blackpool in the Wonga.com Derby, which ironically had a very low rate of interest given the game failed to sell out even half the stadium.


What? I mean WHAT?

Today, we signed Rwandan striker Jessy Reindorf after a succesful trial. He stand 6 foot fucking 5 and lastly played with US Namur in the fourth division in Belgium.

Kinda like these random, foreign signing. They can turn out to be very good at times

didn't Bournemouth nearly go bust a few years back? Can't blame them at all for charging that


Went into admin and got deducted 17 points like 5 years ago

Can't really stand them

That can't benefit anyone surely?!


We play Wadebridge Town on Thursday, They play a league below St Blazey, wonder what that scoreline will look like. Clearly, Blackwell arranges these friendlies just for the lols. He didn't even sub anybody today.

Anton it is

I'd imagine he'd only go on loan to you, we only bought him ourselves from Everton in January, and he bagged a few for the reserves in the second half ot the season.


Ah yes, Anton. Also says on our website we are looking to loan him. Sounded like the best thing since sliced bread today, but I'd like to see him against a half-decent team first, before I judge him

St Blazey 0 Bury 15

Forrester (7), Soares (4), Rooney (3), Procter

Decent turn-out against a fairly poor side from Cornwall. Aaron Forrester is a trialist from Blackburn and sounded like the best thing since sliced bread. Also had Jamie Lowry, Aidan Chippendale and Mark Randall on trial

Really? We had him on trial to see if he could be the back-up keeper to Frank Fielding. Suggests he might have something? Although he apparently didn't impress our coaching set up.


Well, he would be third coice in the current peckin order. We still got Trevor Carson, then we recently signed Rob Lainton who is highly rated and apparently turned down Championship offers to come here, and we are still trialing keepers. So unless, Carson leves, he will only be third choice keeper

Did that new Goalie you signed play at all?

We had him on trial until a few days ago.


Reice Charles-Cook? No, his signing was confirmed just after the game, so didn't play yet. I think he has only signed because our GK coach knows him from some of his training courses and will mainly be playing youth/reserve matches

Beat Bury 3-1 yesterday, doing decent in our pre season so far, played 3 in Scotland won 2 drew 1 and now beat Bury.


First half we played outstanding but substitutions and the weather fucked us over. Should have been 2 or 3 up yesterday at one point but our finshing let us, like last season. First half was encouraging though

We signed Rob Lainton (ex-Bolton), Chris Sedgwick (ex-Wendy) and John Rooney (brother of Wayne). Also, Andy Bishop has signed for Wrexham after his contract was terminated

Things are starting to shape

We were looking at bringing back Danny Whitaker but looks like he's off to Bury.


He's on trial here according to some people on our messageboard. Didn't play against Galati the other day but we're playing Radcliffe tomorrow, so we may be seeing him.

Signed Andy Procter from PNE today. Fairly happy with this. Schuey type of player.

Anyway, we're playing Otelul Galati in a friendly tomorrow, a fixture which will be shown on Romanian TV. Not even a joke

After signing Euan Holden, Gareth Roberts and Ashley Grimes yesterday, we bolstered our squad furthermore with the signings of Greg McDermott and Nathan Cameron today. We also appointed Fred Barber (ex-Notlob) as goalie coach and signed David Tivey from Everton (recommended by Phil Neville) as a fitness and conditioning coach. David's arrival means that for the first ever time this club has a full time fitness coach. We are also getting a new gym wihch is currently being built, we are talking to the council at the moment to get involved in town and schools a lot more and we are targetting 2000 sold season tickets with more than 1400 being sold already.

For the first time ever supporting this club, I have the feeling we are being well run. New board is talking business and they treat us like one. They want Championship facilities and sound very eager and keen. They put up a 5 year plan and want gates of 5000 along with Championship football.

Also our entire Fan forum has been put on Youtube. Unbelievable stuff there. Basically the club was 48 hours from folding. Very interesting stuff this.

Never actually played for us and probably only got on the books due to his dad being Terry Mac.

Plays centre midfield doesn't he?


I think so. His dad was also on our books in the early 70's so he might have 'recommended' him to us

We actually signed a player. 35-year-old Gareth Roberts signed on a one-year contract after being released by Derby. He's a left-back so that's good as we don't have any left backs left


Also re-signed Euan Holden after he played here on non-contract terms. Another on to be announced soon (next 30 minutes or so) according to our official twitter

Third signing is Ashley Grimes!

We've signed a young keeper from you, Dibble, I think. What's he like?


Ah yes, Christian Dibble large ginger bloke and Andy Dibble's son. Wales Under-19 goalkeeper. Not been into youth/reserves football for too much last season, but many who actually go to these games say he is not that much of a big deal and is a bit dodgy so not many of ours were actually sad when the move was confirmed. I believe he was on loan at Warrington Town last season. Don't know what division they are playing in, probably NPL Premier or something like that and their fans didn't rate him either.

That's about all info I have
