@greateranglia I have a parking charge problem and have submitted 2 requests via your parking portal and email on the PCN but nobody has responded. Been over a week now

[David Battson @DBattson]

@sears11GOAT @ColchesterAlan Probably a bit of DC (rightly) trying to inflate the price for a future sale and add-ons etc included. Unfortunately at this level you never know the exact details of bids or even done deals.

Is the position now that we’re upset Cowling wasn’t greedy enough?

[David Battson @DBattson]

@Upthecolu I know, the absolute temerity to want to move to a bigger club and progress his career. Whatever happened to footballers just being happy to get a game.

Jesus Christ, anyone playing for us not wanting to move up the ladder are the ones that shouldn’t be here!

@moeyessex10 My memory tells me we were 3-1 down and the Lua Lua came on and single handedly won us the match…

@KarlTurnerMP Didn’t even know he had a niece??? Are you guys for real?! This may have nothing to do with Keir but didn’t know he had a niece? Dear oh dear the lengths someone goes to defend their tribe

My one hope for the #Starmer government was a return to stability & professionalism. But oh my, what a bunch of inept and disingenuous & out of their depth Ministers they are. Get him and this whole rabble gone

@RespectIsVital She was given 3 opportunities if you watch the whole thing

[David Battson @DBattson]

@MistleyFc @Giggabyte10 Our fans (all clubs to be fair) swing with results way too much. As you say last 2 wins “what a team, keep the together”, before that “on the beach” and now the same story.

[David Battson @DBattson]

What’s worse? Starmer lying about not being told he failed security vetting or him having such little control of the government than no-one told him? #Mandelson

@OfficialUpTheUs If anyone doesn’t vote McDonnell then they have 0 clue about football

@1937CUFC @AdamAdammason16 @WillTaylorr0 Can’t just give up on Lisbie (and to an extent Tovide) like that. Imagine you’re on the verge of tripling your income and last minute it’s pulled away. Got to be frustrating. Work with them to get back to what the were and they can be valuable member of the team/squad

@mattyhudson @davioburchio @Tyler7Smith When I have watched from the Layer Bar it’s always been very busy. As has the Centennial Suite. Is there somewhere else to offer that facility?

Does that not make (with its higher prices) decent revenue for the club?

[David Battson @DBattson]

@elneilios We can still get 72 - not that it will be enough

[David Battson @DBattson]

@DJ19920405 @JayMatthams How? The right person in his view (as stated) was someone he believed could take us to the next level. What have you heard that makes you think that this consortium doesn’t hit that brief (if this one is true!)?

[David Battson @DBattson]

@Jamie_Hudson_ Always my concern - as much as we’re crying out for new owners it does need to be the right new owners. Not just the Cowleys that might not like this. We also saw with Humes the issue when someone other than the manager is making the transfer decisions

[David Battson @DBattson]

@liamb0798 I think the time is right for Cowling to go. He seems to have reached the limit of losses he can afford. But if any new owner came in and got rid of the Cowleys I’d be hugely concerned.

It slightly worries me that everyone seems to think new owners = Wrexham.

[David Battson @DBattson]

@Tyler7Smith Worries me a bit. If he has a big stake and wants to be a manager is he going to be itching for a reason to get in the hot seat - and if so, who gets him out of it…

[David Battson @DBattson]

@Betson365 Yeah why I sort of agree. But if a new owner = budget to keep both, plus Perry, Oni, Harvey. An experienced but good replacement for Gape that would be 6 CMs and allow you to blood Oni/Harvey gradually. IF(!) the Gape replacement is good enough!

[David Battson @DBattson]

@ytdaveyt @NathanRef96 I agree. A clinical and fit 25 goal striker would have got us promoted this season. So many games we’ve been punished for not taking our chances.

This squad is very nearly there - obviously if budget available you strengthen but a much easier task than when the Cowleys arrived
