    Ribeiro to Oxford

    Well said ...those who saw him play would know his worth.. those keyboard warriors that didn't, wouldn't... When Ribs was played last season in his best position he in invariably played well. Lets not forget he had a knee op around Christmas... However as we all know Tis has a penchant for...

    Ribeiro to Oxford

    Thought it might be someone more local to Gloucester. Good luck to him.. one or two poor games last season when Tis persisted in playing him out of his comfort zone but in the last two seasons easily one of our best. If I had known he was going to the U's down the road I wouldn't have...

    ECFC Transfers, in/outs Summer of 2016

    My Final post.... Just locked the house up before emigrating to France... Cambridge is too far away.. my best bet would be ... one of; Oxford, Wycombe, Cheltenham, Swindon or Us.... all Clubs who have been rumoured to be interested in the past. I would suspect the Div. 1 clubs are sorted and...

    Ta Ta For Now..

    Well the wife and I have been thinking about this for some time and have finally decided to take the plunge... We have sold up both our properties, my house in Oxfordshire and hers in Newton Abbot.. The kids are taken care of, so I've cashed in my pension and decided to retire to South-West...

    EU Referendum, Are you in the "In" or "Out" Camp?

    Personally I think when it comes to the crunch the nation will vote to remain, purely because I don't think the fortunes of the nation, immigration control, the efficiency of the NHS etc. etc. will change one iota should we exit or remain. So in that respect I don't think the average man in the...

    ECFC Transfers, in/outs Summer of 2016

    I would be surprised if this were the case FBH. We don't know of course but I suspect Ribs still sees himself playing at a higher level, and doesn't feel that he will get that with EFC. If Tis hasn’t made Ribs an offer ( and no one but him and his agent will know this ) we must assume he either...

    ECFC Transfers, in/outs Summer of 2016

    I was under the impression it was the other way around to be honest. I thought I read somewhere that last season Ribs had a couple of offers and we kept him dangling until July. If we haven't made him an offer presumably this is because; a. he really doesn't want to stay and b. If he doesn't...

    Flybe sponsorship?

    Cheers that's good of you ;) Outlook isn't rosy in terms of pre-bookings, profit or any dividend granted..but now's the time to buy.. You know what us Brits are like..... as soon as the Brexit debacle is out the way and we have voted to stay in...we will be all jetting off ( or propelling off...

    Flybe sponsorship?

    That's why I'm not regulated by them then.. :p Up 1.44% today currently...should rise steadily during the summer holiday months and peak at 89-90p.... a lot depends on the EU vote of course as with most things currently...a stay vote and they will grow, a leave and they will collapse... the...

    Flybe sponsorship?

    Yes ....about as much as we all are to be football pundits. No... but as I'm not charging you I'm not regulated by the FSA..;)

    third signing!

    I think you can Kiss goodbye to both of those now...unless they fail to secure an offer elsewhere...we wont have any money left to pay them.

    Flybe sponsorship?

    Does the Trust board have any real clout though... looks to me that the majority of Director positions are held by non trust members ....so nothing of policy is ever going to change. Not having a snipe..I admire people who are prepared to put the effort in and stand up and be counted .
