A couple of non league snippets

[3spirit]

Chesham have signed Ashley Smith and Tom Baddeley from Burnham and ex Slough player Andy Ballard.

 

A bit surprised Alex Brown has signed again for Chesham. At his age I'd have thought he'd just want to play football regardless of the level.

 

Before we signed Reece Yorke, I had wondered if Andy Ballard would end up back at Slough,given his Slough connection,availability and his fairly recent appearances for Burnham.

 

Alex Brown wants to play as high a level as he can.If circumstances change,it wouldn't surprise many, to see him in an Aylesbury shirt in the near future.

'Little ole Becky' seem to be a club only going in one direction.

 

With pre-season upon us, their Chairman Fred Deanus has resigned, they haven't, as yet, started advertising for a Manager and they have no friendlies lined up.

 

I think we can safely say Old Ram won't be on this forum gloating for a while

Ryan Blake has left Burnham for Chesham and Zac Joseph has left SYCOB.

How many of these player moves have had the paper work completed and returned and processed by the league?

[Mark44]

I don't think players can sign on until late July

Obviously depends when the registration forms are available.

 

Most of these clubs are reporting players as signed or committed, maybe some are on contract. 

 

I can only repeat what clubs are reporting.

[HorshamRebel]

Some clubs make announcements as soon as a player says he will play for them. Others wait until they have committed and signed on the dotted line and ratified by the league.

Last season there was one club who announced a player in the morning only to find out he had signed for someone else in the afternoon.

 

Until those forms are signed and delivered nothing is certain

[GlenSTFC]

These forms are pretty worthless though as any club can put in a 7 day approach and the player could be gone. Only a contract will make a certain a player has signed for you, although saying that, nothing is certain in football!

[epicrebel]

Forms have been available for about a month but until a player has been registered they are not signed.

[3spirit]

So Reese Yorke and Luke Knight are not signed either but I believe they will play for Slough[us] this coming season.

 

Regardless of actual signatures,at least 80% of these announced transfers go through.

 

I thought Ryan Blake could have been a good signing for us.Obviously not to be. 

[GarySTFC]

Historically, forms were made available at the league AGM held in mid June (21st this year) and registrations would not be taken until 1st July at the earliest. We've had it happen to us twice in recent years, that I am aware of, with Richard Pierson and Jon Beames both playing pre-season for us and signing, only to move away later in pre-season.

It happens, fact of life at all levels of football whether a player commits verbally, signs a form or a contract.

 

As 3spirit said it only happens in a small % of cases and leaves you with the type of player that you want who are totally committed to your club.

Changing the subject,Slough get a mention in the NLP article today about Gosport's manager,Alex Pike,to the fact that Slough knocked out Gosport in the FA Cup.

 

Also see AFC Rushden and Diamonds are beginning to build a side to get another promotion with the signings of Adam Confue and Liam Dolman from Daventry.

Looks like the 'Purple Army's' troops are deserting.

[Chris]

Dolman was a very good player for them. One of the best in our division last year IMO.

[Reading Rebel]

Dolman, Confue etc are good players but does seem strange that they are stepping down a level form Daventry when they could quite easily play at a higher level.

Playing in front of 600-700 probably helps,too.

Not looking good for Salisbury City FC

I really feel sorry for the supporters of Salisbury City FC.

 

It seems the club have been duped by a supposed rich Dubai businessman who passed the farcical Conference 'fit and proper' test by providing a P.O. Box and an E mail address. Unless someone stumps up some money by next Monday Salisbury City are no more.
