Point taken.... but more about my frustrations coming out and a overall reflection of my general observations than pointing at someone’s individual comments - to me there seems to have been a lot of fuss over nothing lately all. I’m personally really grateful at where we are at the moment, credit to the club that we living the dream of a place in the EFL

I agree... the finest detail! This way we can find any discrepancies, then talk for 18 pages on say the fish on the menu not being genuine cod... then call out the board and ultimately come to the conclusion we’re all doomed and failure is much more palatable than the accepting the club is experiencing a period of growth, development and increased aspirations. Better still, let’s just speculate and make up stuff!
No need for sarcasm , if people didn`t ask about certain topics , we`d find out nothing and as for making stuff up can you give examples ?

I also noticed Mark Cooper again mentioned training /preperation ! ask him if we`re being unreasonable, i defy anyone on this forum to say that we as a club haven`t f****d up big time on the training facilities this is a basic necessity and has nothing at all to do with the feeble excuse you used stating Growth, development and increased aspirations!

I do hear what you saying about not having a grass pitch to train on... but it does sounds pretty much like we now have a pro set up for trailing... in my eyes that’s growth and development. Also the standard of players were now appealing to does show increased aspirations at the club. Time will tell but the two signings from Leeds do sound like really positive signings

Soccer Aid 21 are based at Mottram Hall this week. I guess we are sharing facilities with the ex pros and celebs who are taking part

If that's correct I can't see much 'charity' emanating from Mr Coopers' lips !

Hasn’t one of the people they try and pass off as “celebs” tested positive for covid? So let’s hope we weren’t anywhere near

After listening to Mark Cooper tonight on Radio Cumbria Barrow training at Mottram Hall this week didn't happen so the players were no where near these "celebs"

Geoff Capes is out with a strained rectum and Louis Theroux is doubtful after twisting his gooch. Not sure if the two injuries are connected. Brian Harvey has surprisingly tested negative, but that might just be for Covid. Was last seen chomping a baked potato in his Fiat 500 and accelerating away at speed with the driver's door open. Game has to be in doubt.

As per the quote from the chairman, coopers budget is 40% higher than it was at FGR, I wonder if that’s gone up even more now with the signing of the two Leeds lads.

Are you aware whether the access is then continuous or is there an interruption before going in 'permanently'? If you are not sure, no hassle, just asking. This topic has occupied hearts and minds for a while now.
Better ask the fella in Asda! 😂
