Rumour

"And teams like windsor can afford to get the good players in as they

can pay them the money I mean their striker victor is goin to malta

on a grand a week contract"

 

Any truth in it??

... their striker victor is goin to malta on a grand a week contract"

Since that would mean about 80% of our average gate going to him every week, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess 'No'.

(unless they mean a Maltese team have offered him £1000/week to play for them. I'd guess No to that also but I suppose it's possible, even if very improbable).

 

I wouldn't be surprised to hear he's getting a tenth of that or so - if he is on contract at all: and I also heard that there are paid bonuses per goal scored, although I don't know if that's correct. Overall I think our budget is among the higher in the league (top 8 or so), don't know if it is the highest but I'd doubt it: however we have had official comments that it's 'suitable' for a team targeting promotion... I'll say one thing, looking at the team it's surely one of the best-spent.

Blimey dan you do like making a mountain out of a molehill ( well i hope it is!)

 

I read that Victor after leaving AFC Hayes played aboard and then SYCOB brought him back to England before he joined us. So hopefully that's where the wires have got crossed.

 

Then again who'd say no to decent weather and getting paid a fair amount for playing football!?

I read it as going to Malta to play and being paid a grand a week?

 

I hope not for us but hope so for him

Let's hope SYCOB organised his International Clearance then else the league table could change quite dramatically

 

On a more serious note, do we think the match is going to be on Saturday?? The forecast doesn't indicate the freezing conditions letting up...

Doubt it. The early kick off will most likely put paid to it.

[Green Pea]

Well hopefully the Windsor ground staff do their best to get the game on for everybody...

[Mrs_Cat]

The weather looks marginally better later in the week. At the moment the highest temp for Sat is a whopping 5'c.

 

As Woody said though the early kick off could scupper it. Hopefully the ref will be prepared to wait a bit before calling it off.

 

If the forecast is correct then by midday the pitch should be ok but if the ref turns up at 10am and does his inspection then, it will probably be frozen at that time.

[Fuzzy Royal]

Well both teams would want the game on i would imagine, and both teams are really at home so hopefully common sense will prevail and a later decision can be given.

[mal316]

I don't think the early kick off will be the problem, I think the 3 inches of snow that is melting may be the issue.

[Green Pea]

Surely our landlords have brushed that off by now to give the game the best chance?

Nah think everyone will be happy enough at home eating turkey sarnies!! I certainly wouldnt get out bed that early on boxing day for, no offence, Bedfont Green! I doubt i'll of gone to bed by that stage!!

[Woody SUFC]

 

Wonder what heath and safety would make of those steps down there! Could you imagine if we did one of the 'running' celebrations. We'd be in a big heap of broken bones within seconds!

 

 

 

Susprised someone didnt build a snowman!

[Green Pea]

I was stuck in the Windsor traffic caused by the snow and sleet last night, not looking too hopeful for Saturday

O Ye of little faith - we'll probably be basking in an unseasonal heatwave by the time Saturday gets here. :cheesy (2):

 

On the other hand have you ever seen one of these fly?

[Fuzzy Royal]

To be honest I didn't think it was THAT cold compared to the previous few days. Most of the road were ice free it was just bloomin congestion. Took me 4 and 3/4 hours to get from Uxbridge to Windsor!!

 

Who knows about Saturday, but if it is called off we enter 2010 undefeated in the league, can't be many teams that have doen that at our level I wouldn't have thought?

 

also, going back to the original thread, to lose Victor would be a loss to the team, however the way Scotty rotates the squad reduces the reliance on one player, so we do have alternatives to losing a key player. I wonder how many other teams could lose their top striker for the season and still have a very strong team capable of pushing for the title without replacing him.

 

I would be more concerned about losing the likes of Fagan or Butts

[Rother]

Forecast at the moment shows it not getting below freezing again, day or night, from tomorrow until Saturday. If correct, that should be long enough for the frost to come out of the ground.

 

Game on I reckon!

[SiD's PiPe]

The game will be on if the two clubs concerned get their heads together and put the kick off time back a bit.

 

 

I reckon mid-August should just about do it.........
