Can't decide if its Bill trying to keep the supporters grounded or 'we're' finding it tough to compete in the current market?
Or, possibly both?
Or neither.

Not much to it really. 50% adverts and 50% filler.
I guess he is committed to do it though, even if there’s not much to say.
Roll on the Supporters update evening

Definitely the latter and maybe a bit of the former too. It’s funny that at the same time as signing an ex Wolves powerhouse and staying full time in NLS Bill is asking for digs for players. What next? Car sharing to take players to away games? Or even home ones? Bit embarrassing actually if truth be told. A full time club that sounds more hard up than a County League team! It’s a Funny old game!

It’s a Funny old game! This is a first but I actually agree with you Oldboy Bill,s latest comments have a hint of embarrassment about them, asking if anyone has lodgings available for a squad member or if anyone knows a Dr, the sound of desperation, surely the club must be able to afford the basics. Maybe times are a lot tougher than we were initially told.

Club could rent a three bedroom house and split the cost between players. We're not talking 16 year olds who need food and laundry done for them.

Unfortunately there's some on here who just want to constantly whine about every bit of news that comes out of the club. They're the ones that are embarrassing, not the club.

Don't they have a doctor over at Ebbsfleet who might be looking for a change of direction?

It’s a Funny old game! It's not unusual for clubs to look for temporary digs for players until they get accommodation sorted. Completely agree with you daveu. It's common practice for this to happen in a number of other pro sports in this country. Also what's to say that all they are looking for is a room for a player or stay in the night before a game so that the players are local and we don't have a repeat of the fiasco against Macclesfield where our players couldn't get here from Essex. Another that maybe happening is that the are for youngsters in the academy/under 23 team to have a place locally to stay. In American sports they are referred to as boosters someone who will lodge one of the players locally as the players family lives miles away. The club need a doctor and why not ask the fans there maybe a fan who knows a doctor who wants more work or maybe one who wants less stress with the NHS and they fancy a change. The more people who know you are on the look out the more doors you can open in trying to find that right one to enable the club to get a doctor, what's wrong with that. Some of the abuse aimed at the club by some of our fans is pathetic, ive come to the conclusion that no matter what happens at the club our fans are turning into mini arsenal fans by that i mean whiny tarts that just complain about everything the club does.

Tbf finding suitable lodgings for players (mostly younger ones) has been a common pursuit of league clubs over the years. I did think that one of the club's sponsors was helping with some apartment accommodation in the town but maybe I got that wrong or maybe we just need some extras.

They're the ones that are embarrassing, not the club. What’s embarrassing is the lack of tolerance from many posters to others opinions that date to be differently to theirs and the venom in those responses. If you don’t like reading other views to your own, stop coming on the forum. You are the whiners who can’t handle open discussion!
