I see on the website on tomorrow’s preview we have two new faces in the squad,no mention of names.Why the secret? Neil Smith the Cray Wanderers manager has mentioned one as Tom Derry in an interview, is this correct? If so who’s the other?. Why haven’t the paying supporters been notified of such news? This is the problem there are so many rumours going around, everything is a secret and drip fed just like naughty school children. Rant over. Whoever the new additions are welcome to Folkestone Invicta and hope you have a long happy and successful stay.

Maybe the paperwork has not completed.

Very legitimate rant, Derek. And if the paperwork isn't done, it would be better if nothing was said until it was. It's a joke at the moment, and not a funny one.

Apologies if paperwork wasn’t finalised but seeing as the Cray manager was interviewed Wednesday night and Andy Drury said in the preview new signings had trained and ready for Saturday and hoped the supporters would be excited to see them,i assumed (perhaps mistakenly)all was in order.

Derek, nothing to apologise for. I wasn't having a go at you, or Colin either. I find the thing your rant was about as annoying as you do - pathetic to be honest.

Game off after all that, according to Football Web Pages anyway.

Latest post (30 minutes ago) onm FIFC twitter: "So today’s postponement has prevented us from pulling out all the stops but stay tuned for some news ASAP…"
How has it? Either we've signed them or we haven't, and if we have then why not tell us who they are now? It's not like we're little kids waiting to see what Father Christmas is going to bring.

The person in charge of this kind of thing (I assume it hasn't changed) seems to think that these 'teasers' add something. The same goes on during the summer. I'd imagine most find it incredibly tedious.

Hopefully he had them all down today and perhaps got them training . I’m sure if they asked nicely they could use the three hills Gym changing room to shower or even use the 3G after 3,pm as available. Ideal for interviewing and photos .

SeaSeaSeasider's post above says it all - "incredibly tedious".

Anyone like me starting to feel like mushroom ? Been one for so long that I've withered, my spores have long dried up and I'm starting to go mouldy. Given that a quite a few of us who post on here are shareholders and therefore legally part-owners of Folkestone Invicta FC Limited, the lack of information/consultation, particularly about financial matters, is a disgrace. This isn't new; it has been the case ever since the company was inaugurated. Sure, we are entitled to see the accounts, but they aren't routinely sent out and they are no more detailed than they have to be, so you can't tell much from them and we still get nasty surprises, like the latest one.

OK, the suspense is over; Tom Derry (which Cray seemed to know about a couple of days ago, although we had been told nothing.)
Another forward; presumably someone will go to make room for him?

Joe Boachie from Royston as well Attacking Midfielder, hopefully means Dury wont have to play much in midfield.

Bluesy hell John, is your glass half or totally empty?

Post by stumpy on Dec 2, 2023 19:34:37 GMT
Somewhere between the two, Geoff, but nothing that a couple of wins (preferably quite soon) can't improve. Short-term, I'd settle for some decent football, half-decent even.

Loveca tease too Ads...although the announcements can only be made when the club allows it...its not just one guy...we've announced players before and got bitten at the eleventh hour and that was called a shambles. You can't win with some people...BTW I'm not bothered when it's announced glass half full as ever!! I think John needs a top up!

I think John has no bottom in his glass.

The club seems to be doing well in attracting players at the moment despite our geography so well done all involved. Does having the training more towards London have a sway in that, or does it make no difference?
