Isn't that the problem, as some of them claim they are owed money, so obviously not as well paid as you make out!!!!

In an era where people are losing jobs, homes, much needed monies etc, some of our higher paid team members could have shown a bit more loyalty in our time of need.  I do feel for Matty as he showed true grit, determination and loyalty last year and obviously felt that staying at Haven wasnt for him, but some of the others????? But they're not our concern now, lets concentrate on the ones who have stayed, or are signing etc.

Shackley as well ..Town will have a 30 man squad.

Bod need to spring into action sitting on our hands while Rome burns ...Keith and the rest of the Town lot who come on here will be wetting themselves.  Bowden must have taken a second mortgae on his house to do this.

let them go

if they dont wanna stay, then goodbye.

matty will be missed, as will jacko, calvert wont as we never used his speed,

mcavoy is probably one of the best centres in the league........when you can get him on the field.

Then surely if you had the choice of going somewhere where you will get paid or stay with a board who never paid you and gave you false promises then which would you choose in the current economical climate? Family first mate eh?

Not always BUT would you take a chance with an employer who has previously misled you OR would you take a chance with a new one who several of your old mates are working for and have reported no problems?
No brainer really its a short enough carreer without the added worry of no pay
