I can safely say we wont be signing Pope from Port Vale. ;-)

Tommy Berwick has openly stated on Twitter that he's "Going to Stourbridge",he even wishes Hemel well and has fan's commiserating at him leaving them.


If we haven't got this nailed down by now will he even be legible for tomorrow's match?


To be honest,Tommy spends more time on Twitter than Sally Bercow and Stephen Fry put together.

"Nailing this down" relies on more parties than just us and the player concerned. Hence the "four to foxtrot" comment.

There is plenty of time to have a signing sorted tomorrow. Signings can be completed up until relatively close to kick-off. Don't ask me what the actual cut-off time is as I really don't know. The team-sheet used to have to be handed to the referee 30 minutes prior to kick-off. I have a feeling it may now be 45 minutes, but don't quote me on that. Whether that means a signing can be completed 31 (or 46) minutes beforehand, I don't know.

Sorry that's all a bit vague but as a non-official it's my best guesswork!

Either way, I can guarantee that you will be able to read his name if it is written down anywhere. He will hopefully also be eligible.

PS. I see we're "doing twitter" now!

I've checked out Mr Berwicks page but you have to follow him to see his tweets, really cor be arsed with that, or why he would accept as I'm pretty sure he doesn't know me!

Think you're confusing FB and twitter. I've followed TB on twitter without him needing to "accept" me. You can do that with anybody as long as they don't "protect" their tweets so only people they approve can read them - though I really don't see the point in that, to be honest. As it happens, he followed me back within a couple of minutes, and is also now following the SFC official twitter as well, so I won't be slagging him off in my updates!   

I don't do FB, but I think I'm right in saying you have to be "accepted" to be somebody's "friend".

I don't have friends, just some people I know, and others I am unavoidably lumbered with related to by blood/marriage.

Good news Rich,i'm confident it'll all be okay now,i just hope he can play against Biggles today.


Berwick strikes me as the sort of player to take us and keep us at the next level,i'd like to think that he's the benchmark for future signing's and i have a good feeling about this one.

He's had a few quick moves after initially doing well for a spell at Daventry so i hope he settles with us and that he and Benbow can find an understanding.

I don't think Luke is the easiest player to play with in a partnership.

He has a lot going for him but he need's to learn to get his head up and appreciate midfielder's running past him as well as appreciating his forward partner's movement's AND learning to anticipate a bigger Centre Forward's flick on's.

If Luke can add these facet's to his pace and power and eye for goal he could yet still break into the Football League,it's really up to him to discipline himself and learn these add on bits.
