Any more clues for us, Ruffian?

I think NOPM has reached it's peak. Any loss in season ticket sales this year will be down to people being fed up with us being shit who will end up going to games here and there.

Plus NOPM doesn't;t really exist anyway as any games against big teams or Wembley and they're all there.

There's been no noticeable drop in crowds outside of what you'd expect apart from the Sixfields season, and after that we were ahead of trend for where we'd expect to be had we stayed at the Ricoh. For all the gnashing of teeth and wailing and the small hardcore who do refuse to go, mostly it's just because we're shit and no one wants to watch us.

Will he be coming this season, or are we on for a 100 pager for next season?

Ok just been assured from a well established source, its definitely Leon Best, he's scored like 4 goals in two years, nothing to say he could do any better at this level... thats all. mystery over, nothing more to see here

The same OP that said he 'Heard' from someone else , about an ex player being spoken to... then told us nothing more for 20 pages, yeah he's been a great source of information so far!! haha

Well best isn't the person he's been told, which is the mystery we are tying to solve. Haha

Remember Best getting a last minute equaliser v M'boro we had been thoroughly outplayed but sneaked a point, just not a natural goal scorer, in the 7anda half seasons since he left us he's managed just 21 goals, about 3 a season

So let's think of all those players who came back to play for us i.e. had two (at least) spells as a signed (not loan) player. Were they better first time or second time round?

McSheffrey - deffo better first time round
Carsley - deffo better first time round
O'Donovan - crap both times, doesn't count
Doyle - we wait to find out!
Bigi - about the same both times
McAllister - deffo better first time round

Can't immediately think of any more but I'm sure others will! Either way, I am expecting that most were better first time round...therefore someone who used to be good for us re-signing isn't necessarily something to get too excited about...

I don't know why everyone is just playing along. Normally we kick these into touch with immediate effect.

No name, no source, makes it nothing other than a rumour.

And as I said before, if a player was announced Ruffian could just say, yeah, that's who I was talking about.

At least there was some fun on the way, huh! :)

If it is Best it'll be a good test of the old school of thought that if a player drops down a division or two he becomes a far better player all of a sudden. You would imagine that he would more than hold his own in League Two, but I can't see him suddenly becoming a 20 goal a season player.
