Not that I remember much about Moe Shubbar, but our stats show he made 3 appearances for us when he actually made 4.

Could whoever collates our stats & appearances data update for this.

Thank you to whoever our Mr Statto is, as I can see this has been updated.

Max Kilman, Wolves defender, is once again the subject of transfer rumours with Napoli making a 35 million euro offer for him that has been rejected.

Relevance? He went directly to Wolves from Maidenhead Utd who have a sell on clause on him. Even if it was as low as 10% it would make a massive difference to the fortunes & capability of challenging for promotion for Maidenhead if he moves this summer.

The development of young players & selling them on to Football League clubs appears to have been a very conscious long term decision by Maidenhead which could start paying dividends.

I am very much "old school" and it pains me to see Wycombe and Maidenhead doing better than Slough. But it has to be admitted that, after saving them from extinction at near midnight two decades or so ago, Maidenhead's owners have exhibited an envious model of steady development since. Damn.

Apparently he went to Wolves for £40,000 and a 20% sell on clause in August 2018.

They were saying this morning it could be around £6.5M+ for Maidenhead.

Great business to be fair.

Dorking Wanderers are raising money by selling 1/3rd of the club to supporters.

Obviously this is all aimed at trying to push the club to the next level.

I don't know if it's been reported before but after getting booted out of Stag Meadow by the newly formed Windsor & Eton FC, Windsor FC are ground sharing at Arbour Park next season. 

Reportedly a lot of the Windsor FC supporters have defected over to W&E.

Interesting to see how long Windsor FC survive.

I dont think Windsor FC have got a team Reading Rebel, at least not according to my brother who is involved with Windsor and Eton FC

It'll be just as interesting to see how Windsor FC have raised the rent money.

They've definitely got a team because they're ground sharing at AP next season.

Just less supporters.

Good point Nathan.

And with less supporters to fund the rent money.

It sounds a right mess,whatever.

I don't know anything much about the Windsor situation but I don't like the idea of someone or some new board taking over a team's name, and then getting the old owners evicted from the ground they've been renting all these years, to up and form a new club under a different banner.

What's to stop some other phonies trying to do exactly the same to our club Slough Town FC?

I don’t know the full ins and outs but it does sound messy. But the fans appear to favour new club massively so with the support and more importantly ground rental you can’t see how the ‘old’ Windsor will or can continue? Would they even get 50 home fans at AP? Even if they don’t have a playing budget, the overheads will be too much to bear and unfortunately you can see them folding quite soon.

I can't remember the chaps name who ran Windsor FC and changed the kit to green with the Union flag on it. He's the one who decided to run them without wages and has sort of kept them afloat but whether thats enough for the Windsor faithful who remember former glories is anyones guess.
