I've heard that we may have got a keeper to back up Hooky. Ex - BHA keeper.........Chris Winterton. Also, one of our striker's has been offered a limited Contract for next season. I guess this will be to assess whether they can remain fit enough and can cope with the new higher standard. However, understandably, this may not be enough to guarantee that he stays. I thought it best not to name him as, I'll probably get a load of flack .....a little fix for all you Boro' news junkies to think about. (let's see if this gets into the Argus ;D ;D ;D)

Dave Wintertons boy. He is an Eastbourne lad so he is local.

There is clearly allot of work going on behind the scenes with allot to consider not least each players individual circumstances,I think it is an interesting wage structure that has been put in place though am not sure if I was a player how I might feel about not getting extra money for being promoted.We do have to in my humble opinion respect the people in the know and trust the stewardship that has led us to these dizzy heights.It will also test I think the loyalty of some players in an age where money talks.Am not sure what a limited contract would mean.As for the player you hinted at and I guess we all know who you are talking about,when he puts it in and "turns up"I think he is class,but then I would as I sponsored him last year.Hope I have got the right one!!!!PS where do you get this stuff from?

two ears and one mouth. In those proportions, you get to hear what is going on. The Boro servant I was alluding to apparently is going to go to Tonbridge Angels. ....the worrying thing is that the Priory Pitch was more like a lake in places....ducks were even seen on there. We're worrying about the squad!!!!!!!! I also heard that we are talking to a striker from League One/Two. Age 32. I don't know anything else. I thought that you'd want to know. It's painful all this white noise!!

Vern, I think you should keep your mouth tightly closed at this point in time. your hearing may not be too good. A lot of rumours are flying about at the moment and contracts are private. Would you like it if someone published something about your contract on the web, without asking your permission! How would you feel if it was not a limiting contract, but a non existant one?

Don't worry, I've not said whom the player in question is. If you look on other forums, you'll get the news there anyway. Like I said, I've not given any names, it's not for me to name anyone. I must say, that we have got the most civilised and courteous forum in the western world. If I didn't pipe up we'd have do something else on here like discuss the weather? ??

Then why encourage guessing games. I dont think it would be Wise to carry on. You should wait for the anouncements, like the rest of us. I think you may find things have changed!

Vern is doing his, I know more than you antics! Remember last year he had to change his identity.
He is correct about some of the things some of the time, which is not very illuminating, I presume that why his lights are being punched out on this thread.
Better to say something correct than to upset the team!
I believe Wild was expecting to go! Best of luck to him, at least he found another team quickly.

Blimey kids calm down, its not like the official secrets act has been broken here, surely half the point of these forums is for rumours and gossip, have a look at a few of the others for comparison.. Keep em coming Vern or this place will go back to being as dull as dish-water again!!!

A bit of Humour then!
God created Adam and put him in the Garden of Eden. Adam felt very lonely and asked God to solve the problem. God said he understood and had the answer, He said he would create woman for him. Adam asked God to explain. God said woman would be his companion and friend. 'Yes' said Adam 'but what will she do.' God said that 'woman would wash all his clothes, iron them, keep the garden very tidy and cook all his meals.' Adam said 'that is great but will she do anything else.' God said 'yes, she will sleep with him, give him sex and never suffer from headaches.' Adam said 'that sounds fantastic but what will it cost.' God said 'an arm and a leg actually.' Adam said 'what will I get for a rib'
Need we say more.
IRISH LOVE STORY
An elderly man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite scones wafting up the stairs.
He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.
With laboured breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite scones.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his devoted Irish wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in rumpled posture. His aged and withered hand trembled towards a scone at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife with a wooden spoon ..... .........
.........
**** off" she said, "they're for the funeral." _________________

May be 'old' news but Hooky I hear has signed on which is a massive plus.
