Its been proven time and time again that top heavy teams just do not work. This Plymouth side is as top heavy as you're ever going to get. Reminds me a little of Poole in 2009 who went top heavy. Steve Shovlar and his fellow Poole supporters tried to convince everyone that Holder and Pedersen would score 25+ between them every meeting. They finished joint bottom.

Not from what I've read he hasn't. His point is more to do with a quite horrible comment from a poster that unbelievably was liked by a couple of other idiots, (which thankfully has now been removed), and the rather distasteful comments and celebration of a couples likely financial ruin. Yes they were foolish, yes they have obviously been very badly advised by people who have let them down, and yes they should have done their homework before taking on the property. I personally find it all a bit sad and the comments on this thread disappointing. I've been away from this forum for a few years for one reason or another, but I always remembered it as a fun place to be where light hearted banter was as bad as it got. I'm dismayed by the nastiness, bitterness, and vitriolic comments that seem to have infested the BSF and it's sad to see a once great forum go down the toilet. It surprises me little that most of the posters I remember from a few years ago, are no longer seen on here.

Who did Mildenhall buy Blackbird's contract from?

Yes this winter seems to have gone on forever. After all these years i still get excited like a kid at Christmas when a new season approaches.

Still think its harsh on a rider(s) has been told he has a place(s), invest in equipment and prepare for the new season only to be told sorry, actually we're giving your place to someone else now. Not on!

With Lanham for Boxall, i'd put Plymouth around mid table but still not enough for top 6 and a play off berth. I definitely think there are at least 6 better sides around.

I'd hate to see a rider like Lanham out of a job, but to be honest it was his club that has gone to the wall so it would be very harsh on Boxall to lose a place he was told was his.

As a Redcar supporter, i and others were convinced Tungate would be a Bear this year and i'm still gutted that a deal couldn't be done. I'm happy with our team this year but missing out of Tungate still rankles with me. Trust me, this lad will be nothing but a success this year he's got everything in his locker.
