no it was always 7 or 8

This is STILL part of the same podcast which was released on 8 June!
.
How many days and how many articles have the adver now spin these over????
.
As for incoming it was always 7 or 8 but with current set up he could get 5
.
He needs to move on 5 or 6 to free up the cash to get the last 3

spun even

Same ol' padding.

Doesn't matter how many in or out.... I sure it will be reported as sensational news. Just tell who, when you know.

In Paolo and Jeremy we trust.

Old news, but it's without a doubt I agree with Wray. Players these days show little loyalty to a club so why should a club show any loyalty back. These days it's all about if it suits both parties.. If it doesn't, Cheerio!

Fixtures being released at 11am this morning.

Thanks Lazaat, that's what i came to find out this morning!

Hopefully there is going to be some real news for the Adver to report on this week :-)

COYRsss!!!!!!

Spot on. Players wouldn't think twice about leaving us if a better offer was to come in. Therefore we shouldn't think twice about ditching players we don't think are up to League One/Championship standard.

Fixtures are out at 9am.

Gary Roberts would be a good signing. Gary Roberts is our friend.

Yawn yawn bloody yawn same s**t different day!!!

Exactly, if they're not good enough for the championship then they have to go.
Gary Roberts signing will according to Shaun Hodgets is gonna be a great signing, he's 28 and still got good legs.
Navarro and Williams are set to sign also so just 5 more .
30 minutes until the fixturs , Blades at home first game please.

Whats happening about the Tahoue incident, the FA seem to be dragging their feet with that.

What stadium changes are there for next season ? Will the concessions be up to handling the larger crowds ?

Somebody wrote that the pitch was being relaid, ok how is that going ?

Will Stratton Bank be open more next season ?

What is the score now with match day parking, is there any provision for increased crowds over this past season ?

Any work been done on the awful PA ?

Has any resurfacing work been done to cure the lakes that appear after rainfall behind the Town End ?

Match day programme, is the format up for change again ?

Which charity will we be aligned with for next season ?

If we are having a friendly with Supermarine, are they a bit more prepared, as opposed to being caught out like they were last pre-season.

Come on Adver, if there isn't any new news then go and dig some up, talk to people, ask questions, find out what is happening around the stadium.

Wiz , you need to tune in to BBC Wilts for info . The Adver is very lazy.
Someone from the paper was supposed to interview me re the 200 mile charity walk I'm starting on Wednesday, but they havn't bothered.

Bring back Gary Rose all those who agree say HEAR lol!!!

Hear, hear.

Ha ha I see the adver knockers are out in force again. Damned if they do damned if they don't. Per season would be so boring without the adver especially when you ain't got local radio and Stfc player. Also bbc wilts website is so slow in updating the adver is the only place for some to get their Stfc fix. I'd rather have any old news than none at all and the adver simply don't have the resources for all the stories some want on here. I for one am very grateful for what the adver provides.

Hsrtlepool away , then Crawley and M.K Dons home . Lat game at Scunny

I'm not normally an Adver knocker but over the last few weeks they have only pinched old news from the Beeb or the national press.
As Wiz suggests , this reporter has not got down to the C.G or lifted his phone to get his own exclusive news. Lazy !!

lol you know that for sure do you? How these things work is the have media meetings where pdc wray and Watkins holds interviews and all media outlets are present so they all get the same stories and print or publish them when they see fit. The bbc has always had a close link to the club ever since shawn hodgets joined so they might on occasions get the nod on a story hardly the advers fault. I'm not here to argue the adver case but really people need to get things into perspective after all your talking about a small local paper not a red top and we all know how big the bbc are.

I did a gogle on Gary Rose last night, very late and yes I may have got it wrong, but from what I could see, where does he work now ???? The BBC.

What I do know for certain is that during this close season every piece of news printed here is 2 /3 days behind everyone else.
It's not a small local paper , it's part of a bigger operation called newsquest. Now there is a clue for you, Newsquest suggests that they have a quest to find news , not publish history.
BTW the BEEB may be a big organisation but they are having to make big cuts to their programming and staff.
Lets see who is first with news of the first signing today, the Adver or the Beeb. The Adver have not mentioned Gary Roberts yet even though it's in the nationals and on the radio.

Loyal: "If they're not good enough for the Championship they have to go"? I think that's getting ahead of ourselves. We need a team capable of challenging for promotion. That means a team comprised mainly of players who are good at this level, with perhaps a few who would be comfortable one step higher. I believe that's what we had last season, and the same again would do very nicely. Your suggestion is very appealing but I don't see how we can attract or afford to build a 2nd tier side in the 3rd. One step at a time has to be the motto.

Just heard on BBC announcements later today.Looking at fixture sept 5 away games?????? crazy still they have to be played.

Even J.W says that some of those that were good for us last seasom , won't be good enough this.
We are supposedly building a team this season that can challenge in the Championship.
I'm just repeating what the C.G supremo's are saying.

The GOOD news about that is we also get a string of home games as well at some point. The downside to that is after the string of home games, you get withdrawal problems. Nothing like a good strong dose of "Town" on a Saturday, it gets in your blood.

Excuse me Mr Wray , but if there is no room for sentiment what is McComick doing here ?

Sorry if it seems I'm nit-picking but I don't think JW and co are saying we only want players who are good enough for the Championship. They are saying we need players good enough to get us there. When (if?) we get there, those who are not good enough for that level will be moved on - which is what is happening now. Not all the players who got us to this level will be good enough to play in it. You add more quality as you move up the ladder.

I can only see four away games in September. Who is the 5th away game against?

Sky Sports are now reporting both Williams(ex Yeovil) and James Collins(ex Shrews) are Town bound.

I should be called Mystic Red!
.
Connell, Rooney, Benson and Holmes called correctly last year
.
This year I have suggested Navarro, Roberts and Collins who have now all been heavily linked!
.
If I can keep thes predictions up I would like Nathan Clarke as our new CB and our alternative Target Man to Benson to be Calvin Andrew (has the work rate to suit PdC and is only 27)
.
As for JW's calls - my interpretation was all of the exisitng retained list have been reviewed and only those deemed good enough to aid a challenge at the top of L1 will retained - with the rest being moved on
.
Then all new signings are viewed as being able to at least keep us 4th bottom in the Championship
