Are you still going to the U's regularly?
I'm going, not so regularly, to see Bath City. Not sure if the U's haved played at Twerton, but if they haven't and you are coming over give us a shout.

Bath City have Super Scotty Murray playing for them and this makes them ace. Even if they are sort-of local rivals to FGR.

Super Scotty Murray was on the bench for my first game and all the fans moaned when he came on. For the 2nd game he started, scored and had a blinder and got a round of applause when he was subbed.
He's not quite as quick as he was, but still pacy enough for the BSP.

Is this a pi$$ take Bris? We lost 2-1 at home to Bath (94th minute winner) and 4 zip away.
Yes I am still going but it's more for the craic then anything else. You will all be pleased to hear that Cambridge United are still completely fooked financially. Gates are down, we owe Martin Ling and John Schofiled £150k thanks to their 3 year plan. In 18 months they've managed to take the club back by 10 years.
Our squad is now made up of our excellent youth team but they are getting bullied by these big ugly conference teams.
Our ground has been sold to Prince Philips Grovsenor Estates. They have promised to build us a 10000 seater stadium to get us off their land but we all know that they are just waiting for us to go bust.
So nothing has changed really.

You kind of hope that a club like Cambridge would stabilise and then come back, a bit like Donnie or Oxford, but you need a bit of luck and you lot don't appear to be getting that.
It wasn't a piss take, just though it would be an opportunity to catch up. Maybe next season?
I know what you mean about big ugly players. Bath of got Lee Phillips up front who is a right nasty bastard. Good player with it as well though.

Lee Phillips joined Bath from us. We got rid because he didn't score enough goals. We replaced him with Daryl Clare at the cost of 10k. Daryl scored 1 goal for us in 20 odd appearances and has recently joined Alferton on loan where he has scored 3 in 4.

I see Daryl Clare regularly on the school run, his daughter is the same school year as my lad. He seems to spend alot of time in the area which makes me wonder if he trains properly with these clubs. Maybe I should just ask him....
We're playing the Bath this Sat but I'm not going.

I'd be tempted to go to Bath this Saturday if I wasn't going to Notts to see us hopefully put another nail into the Brizzle Rovers relegation coffin.
I don't think Phillips will ever score a lot. He's not that kind of player. A great leader of the line though.

Hi Flis, Does he live up near Grimsby then?
He was out injured when we signed him so missed preseason. Then he came back and started to look half decent. Then he disappeared for a bit injured. Then he came back for a bit. Then he broke his finger in training and was out for 2 months. We've not seen him since.
Ask him if he is intends to come back as he has got another year on his contract.

I take it that doesn't mean into League Two and looking forward to an LDV drubbing by Blackpool?
