........and yes Gregg's accent is definitely Merseyside.

Wigan appears to be good hunting ground for JC and JB, remember this is where the mighty Phil Edwards came from, also Keiran Charnock used to play there as well. Greg Mahon will be a useful addition to the squad. Also the signing of Greg Blundell seems promising. Things are definitely on the up for Saturday. Good Luck to both players.
The futures bright, the future is Stanley.

well lookin forward to the bury match now.

Blundell was a revelation when he played for Chester, but he picked up a nasty injury and was never the same player again. He's struggled to get a start at Darlington, but maybe if he's got something to prove he'll be up for the challenge at Stanley.

Two great signings!
Here's what my Donny supporting friend says about Greg.
"
Greg is a good signing for you and I’m quite surprised Darlo have let him go. His best goal-scoring days were in our first season back in the league, but I’m sure he can do a job for you. He’s got pace and he works hard. He probably needs quite a lot of chances in order to hit the mark but he does get into the right areas.
He’s still a legend with our fans!

Wonder is Mahon knows Jimmy from Rep Of Ireland youth games ?

Sounds like Gregg will be welcoming his chance:

Darlington - Stanley swoop to sign Blundell on loan

Letting players like Blundell and Proudlock leave the club on loan is a bit of a gamble though as Quakers currently have no fit senior strikers at the club who are contracted to Darlington

So if he does well for us and finds his form..... they will recall him. if he doesn't do well then erk

You can't build a side on loan players coming in for a month at a time

We sold enough players.. isnt it time we bought a striker?

Eh? has any club? We sold players but we havent bought.. You cant say we need the money to run the club or we would have to sell a couple every season and that doesnt happen.. you dont set out your stall for the year hoping for cup runs or players to be sold in order to survive and indeed stanley has said they dont..

Stanley have also said they dont owe any money anywhere and are in a good finanical position to survive.. the problem was more money needed to push on..

sod pushing on.. we dont even own a full team to stay still..

if you didnt understand my post then repeating it wont make it any better.. maybe laying it out ?

1.. club says finanical postion good to stay where we are

2... club says we need more money if we are to push onto another division.

3... we dont own a full team and relying on loans. thus not in a great position to push on

Gerrit now? I never said we are doing badly.. never even hinted at it...

Hope thats more clear ?

MCR ADIM · 29-11-2008, 13:22

i agree with you k-p we have signed all out players this seasons on free's costing us nothing but wages! we have loan players so not paying for them maybe a % of there wages! we got money from craney,roberts, tv replay! surely we should be able to sum up 50k for a player like gornell or someone

K-P · 29-11-2008, 13:37

Whats the future if we cant is my worry? next season we wont have the players to sell and may not have any tv money.. theres no stability with loan players as good as they are. Just as the manager gets it right and things are looking good... POP! there goes a loan player back to his club.

OK we are sitting pretty at the moment.. but I have my looking ahead hat on at the moment

Sounds correct on his performance today! The first 10 mins he had pace to burn past the chester defenders and he got in goal and knocked it right over! Should of at least hit the target. Worked hard though!
