I think you're assigning views to me regarding Crocombe which I've not expressed. Straw man arguments are below you, old chap. My point is that if Wilder had kept his mouth shut, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Too often, he has piped up with criticism or implied criticism (even in jest) wh...

Will he start, or will he be on the bench? On recent form, he'll probably score a hat-trick, win the MotM award and Wilder will snatch it off him and give it to a Heslop or a Smalley... Is it just me or are a minority people looking to find a way to slag Wilder off for every single thing he does at...

Great stuff. Stick me down for a fiver. Can I contribute via PayPal?

Slappy - I'd be the first to agree that not all youngsters are up to it, and I've said on here in the past that Wilder sees much more of them than us and it is his right to decide whether or not they're ready. BUT... It cannot be argued that Wilder has been very reluctant to give them a chance. Look...

Good post, that. Don't understand what Wilder's seeking to gain at all.

Indeed. We have no idea whether or not they're good enough unless they get some game time.

Hadn't seen the rumours. Could well be the easy solution or OUFC - we get the change without IL having to pull the trigger and Wilder can leave with his head held (reasonably) high.

But Snake, was it not a one-year agreement in their case?

Given today's events, I struggle to imagine a set of circumstances in which Not London Not Welsh will be sharing &quotour&quot ground again next year.

Fair play, I missed the distinction between the splitting of the two entities and the selling of one without the other. Still think I'm entitled to my &quotI told you so&quot (you plural, not you singular) on Ka$$am's broken promise. Any thoughts on my other point re: the manager's profligat...

IL puts a strict spending limit on a new manager. Seeing us operate purely within budget for the foreseeable future. The choice of manager here is crucial, as not everyone can do this as we’ve seen in the past… Wasn't that the idea with Wilder? Appoint a manager with a track record of doing well wi...

Dan raises some great points above - not least the list of loanees, which is eye-watering when you see it in black and white like that. I also strongly agree that the promotion-winning side should have been given longer to compete at Division 4 level before being broken up. Top marks also for &q...

Apologies - the final para of my last post was ambiguous. My point is that it is harder now for kids IN OXFORDSHIRE to follow their team now than 20 years ago. Ticket prices are higher for the average teenager, the club is physically further from town, and (germane to this post) less information is ...

KY - I'm saying the principle is the same for both. Sky and PTV involve clubs grabbing for as much money as they can at the expense of their relationship with their fans. Not only have clubs lost their sense of priorities, they have also followed a route which has made the sport less accessible to t...
