PLAYING AT THE WILLOWS GAFF THIS SEASON.
WATCH YOUR POCKETS UPSAYDAYSEE.

[beacs]

Quick summary from tonight - apologies if I have misinterpreted anything.

Playing at the Willows next season.
- This is due to low attendances at Park Lane.
- 9 out of 13 matches least season didn't pay the rent.
- It's the first step of hopefully getting to Agecroft.
- Would like to get attendances of 700-800 at the Willows
- Not sure where we will be playing for 2012 but it should be known before we start the 2011 season

Agecroft
- New consultants on board who have revised the proposal
- JK expects this new proposal to persuade all parties
- Will know if this is successful in next 2-3 months
- 5000-7000 capacity / 12-16 weeks to construct
- Moorside Rangers will begin to play at Agecroft

Signed Mark Smith
- Looking at signing another 2 out of 6 shortlisted players

Producing our own match day programme again next season

Kit launch on 1st December with news about Agecroft

[roytonyed]

Smith good.

Willows not good.

See you at Agecroft.

[eclecticsheep]

I think they have Signed Ainscough....

[RIGGY]

Yes Martin Aincough

More to come

Looks like they could be serious contenders next year with Smith and Ainscough added to last years squad where they seem to have retained their best players.

Have to question how they can make it stack on their gates? Joseph was one of our better paid players and got a better offer when he went to Swinton, they also outbid us on Dodd last year. Smith won't be coming cheap.

Presumably paying a lot less or even nothing for ground rental at Willows (as Council owned as part of Salford stadium deal). They failed to cover hire costs on most games at Sedgley last season.

This isn't me being bitter towards Swinton as I do like them, just interested to know how they can make the numbers stack up for the playing squad they are assembling?

Maybe its the lure of Steve McCormack! Phil Joseph has stated in the local press that Swinton is the best club he has ever played at and he has turned down better offers from other clubs to play at Swinton.Holroyd,Paul Smith,Aaron Smith,Southern all gone from last seasons squad.

[eclecticsheep]

Holroyd had a brilliant "swansong" at Halifax!

[mark richardson]

Thats because he had plenty of energy left after swanning around the pitch at Swinton for a year and a half.
Biggest player let down for donkeys.

Signed Carl Forber from Blackpool as well. Decent Stand-Off, was hoping we may be in for him if Rats isnt signing.

Swinton look like the team to beat this season. Still dont know how they are doing it on their gates.

They.ve probably got someone putting money in. not taking it out.
