If he is being paid he should work like any other employee. If he refuses he would be in breach of contract.
I would like to think he would want to play though.

Seems like the manager is big on fitness and tempo. Something that was sadly lacking last season. Any of the left over players from the relegation squad will probably clear off if they can't stomach the hard work but if they put in the required effort fair play to them. Feeling optimistic and ready ...

760 capacity so I would I would hope so. Let's bring the noise.

Hartlepool Away first game of the season is going to be epic. They have invested heavily and Poolies are expecting to win the league this season.
Hoping for a massive turnout from The Bluebirds.

Cant blame Tony Shearer for wanting to take a step back and over the moon he has kept his majority shareholding.
Thanks for all your hard work Tony . Enjoy your retirement

Wow a right back

Good luck to him. I always liked his effort but sadly not strong enough in the tackle for me.
Sensible bit of business by the club.

Penrith away was pretty good a few years ago.

Played with Ben Whitfield and Elliot Newby At Stockport. Should be a good signing this one.

Was this before or after the Newport game. Could explain his absence ??

Bring Dino back. That would encourage the shirkers to leave .

Who will cut the grass now Ffs.??

All having a pop at stanway but he is the last line of defense! Reality is, we've had the ball in the wrong areas all season and was inevitable that we would concede more than we scored.. Football is about scoring more than the opposition, we couldn't score if we played for two days without a break...

We don't need a keeper who throws the ball into his own net. Get rid.
Keep the other two keepers.
Swap the short arsed players for big nasty buggers.
No crocks or old players looking for a last pay day.
