I'd rather concentrate on things I can effect and control

£10k+ in a single day?!? That's pretty damn good going

Sensible approach.

Imagine having a team of home grown players that didn't go to Leeds, Warrington, Wigan, and then having nowhere fit to play in the city.....

How much of that £10K was merchandise and how much for season tickets?

Not sure of the point you're trying to make, but the second sentance is the one that will ultimately render the first sentence worthless.

Still like you said you can affect the players desire to stay by how you treat and what you offer them, the stadium is sadly out of everyone's hands.

I wasn't trying to make a point really

Sick of the ground issues, lots of people made lots of money, and how they look in the mirror is beyond me

The thought of having a full team of home grown players is great.

Even better running out on to the pitch with a new stadium or upgraded BV that is packed to the rafters.

Indeed, but I think I might have said it before, I doubt they'd see a reflection anyway.

Dunno. I am also always impressed by how much he genuinely cares about the club. He looked like he was working his socks off today. We have our problems with the ground situation but I have a lot of faith in Michael Carter. We have had some schmucks running our club but for once I think we have a good Chairman and owner

We could not wish for a better Chairman than MC but all this good/exceptional/great news and news on the player/signing news has become boring to say the least. Tell us when there is news otherwise don't say anything as I would say that for the most part we are all ardent fans of the club and anyone not would probs not be looking on Twitter/facebook etc for any news

You just can't allow for Trinity fans, exceptional news is great, how many times in the past years have we had our sensational young players signed up? It seems to me that our fans enjoy the bad times better than the good. Isn't it great when people hide behind a keyboard?

Well I must be exceptionally ' thick' in common parlance , as I am still
unaware as to what the news actually is . Please help anyone.

Maybe not. Maybe its the same as us at Cas, the young promising players see an honest owner/CEO and a passionate coach who between them have convinced them to give it a few more years.

Tbf on everyone you are a victim here of your predecessor habit of using such expressions regarding some very mundane news.

Personally I think Batchelor looks the potentially best young forward we've produced since Ellis - much as I love TJ forwards win games. When you think we have Crowther as well under any other circumstances it would be "exceptional".

However you have to accept that even if you didn't intend to you've scared us to death with the ground and for many that's blighting the future and puts a huge downer on any "good news for the future"

Sorry but it's hard to reconcile what's happening on and off the pitch - not your fault but you are the man I'm afraid
