Definitive Squad List

[BlueGate Alan]

I don't think you can take it as that Hippy, am guessing people are only assuming this is the case. I would be amazed if the club aren't paying these lads something or maybe on a "Pay as you Play" basis?

[Ian_Sanderson]

maybe just tuck shop money!!!

[bigtw]

Most have been contracted meening they get some sort of pay most are getting a weekly wage plus appearance money but they are on contract not just on Rymans forms.

 

Wes hammond has signed now on contract.

 

[Paul H]

Pay as you pay is probably whats going on. Ian why do you have to constantly take the mick. You know, Ramsgate weren't up to much a short time ago. Do you revel in Margate FC's demise. I hope not. I always thought thanet football was your main interest. I sincerely hope that Ramsgate do not suffer from the same misfortune as ourselves. You see although I support Margate I've always taken an interest in Ramsgate and local football as a whole. I hope this is the case with yourself.

[Ian_Sanderson]

No chance of that Paul, you see the difference is that Ramsgate FC is run correctly!!

[BlueGate Alan]

Now that is funny Ian

 

He can't help it Paul its some sort of fetish I believe he has, unable to be nice to people anywhere.

 

Thanks for the info Tony, I believe other signings are due to be announced too but leave that to the official club site to do.

 

 

[Paul H]

I think you are right alan. Lawson has ran Ramsgate well yes but you'll never be a conference club Ian.

[Ian_Sanderson]

Paul, Live in the present, not the past!!

[bigtw]

I will leave future signings to the offical site Alan but they are always a week behind.

 

I wont bother telling you the others you can wait I'm off on holiday.

[bigtw]

By the way Alan was you asking me to let it be done by the offical site or telling me your manner seems quite confrontational.

Sadly, Mr Sanderson is probably spot on.

[michael]

Whilst we await official confirmation of hammonds signing (and gregory)can someone advise me whether Hammond is a full back or central defender (he is not that tall is he for a central defender).

 

Similarly-Gregory-left back-or left midfield ?

 

Good to see Mr Ashby apparently concentrationg on defence and midfield .

I hope he is building from the back.

 

Up the 'Gate

[Jeff Trice]

Wes Hammond's played at centre back when I've seen him in the Kent League over the past few years. James Gregory's a left back.

[michael]

Interesting if gregory is signed-we would then ave 3 players who play at left back-

Robinson,Gregory and Eliot payne.

Thats why i wondered whether gregory was as much left midfield (Dean Standens natural replacement !!).

 

ummmm-do we have any right backs ?-is that Harker ?

[Paul H]

If ashby plays Lewis Smith in his better position of right back he won't have a problem!

[Drummer]

I don't know much about Allen Heath but do remember seeing him play at VCD a couple of seasons ago, paired with Louis Smith in central defence, and thought that they were both impressive on that occasion. Kent Senior Cup when the only first teamers on show were SCS and Paul Abbott.

[michael]

Interesting how we all have different views-yes -i guess Smith could play at right back, but he does seem to have matured into an improved central defender.

 

Your right though-forgot that Smith started off there .

[SteveB]

Can anyone improve any of this information..........
