Until someone else offer him an extra 10p a week

Perhaps i know something that you dont from his Tooting to Hastings move.

Lewes sign defender Frankie Chappell from Folkestone, good signing that.

Such a shame to see standard go, but going back to a couple of years ago now, could Chris cumming Bart not do a job in replacement? Also why not bring back bright temba. Thought he was very good for us and had a lot of potential? I feel we have let a few youngsters that had potential gonover the last few seasons. I see hinshelwood wants to bring in local talent so those are the 2 I can think of locally

I'm sure I read somewhere that stannard has gone off but thanked everyone for his time at the club. I may have misread and hopefully have but if not surely we need to start looking at replacements, as much as I would love it to be local lads come in and replace I just can't see it happening as I can't see any local lads around that could do a job. Temba and cumming Bart are probably the best local youngens around? Especially as from what I've seen Jamie crone has gone back to little common and is struggling to find goalscoring form. Hopefully frannie can score the goals as much as he did this year.

Horsham sign 36 goal striker Rob O'Toole from county league Shoreham.

And to your message steviesteve... crutwell is very hot and miss from what I've seeen, Jason Taylor I agree with you there fast strong and scores goals. And for crone like I said before he hasn't found much goalscoring form as of late. And that's in county 1 surely if you can't score goals there you can't score goals in Ryman?

does not matter anyway Dixon good player but probably be banned most games if stannard has gone big loss but the worst signing of all is the return of carey the same player who said he would not play in ryman south what is the new manager thinking he says carey will come in as backroom staff but play when needed why we going backwards we should be looking for better players and backroom staff then carey so lets start with getting a decent keeper pells back maybe

Bradley Goldberg leaves Bromley .

That suggests he doesn't know how to readjust game after a caution

According to twitter Ryan Nichols gone. Does that mean we are now looking for two new keepers? 

This is so difficult to understand at the moment. As until we see the new structure, knowing where we need to finish is difficult. So the signing of an expensive squad may not be justified.

Hughes Mason has signed for Grays. Scored a load of goals and became a bit of a cult hero with some fans but never good enough in my opinion and right that he has moved on.

Wonder if Shaun Okoje will play for nothing at Aldershot

I am sorry to see Kiernon leave. I thought he was a player who could change a game for us in a short time. He not only scored goals he had a lot of assists. Good luck at Grays, always be happy to see you playing in Hastings colours again. Thanks for the entertainment.

I'm more relaxed about Shomari going than I am Kiernan. Not that I ever imagined that Shomari would stay. But, indeed, good luck to him.

But why are any of you concerned about the players that have left. None were outstanding and we were 20+ points short of where we need to be. Either you trust Adam or you don't.

I don't think it in the least follows that to have a view on the merits or otherwise of players who have left implies any lack of trust in the new management. Of course Adam - like his predecessors for that matter - will decide who he wants. We will all express our own views on the choices he makes in due course. That will be of greater importance; but for now it is legitimate and at least of some passing interest to air opinions on those who are leaving.

Barnwell was never going to stay I think. He will do well when he finishes developing physically and as a player. I just hope that we don't have to look for another manager and ln Adam we have someone here for the long run. Most supporters will give him time to build a squad of his own but he needs to commit to us in the same way. We don't need destructive comments if we lose a few games but encouragement of the players and management to produce what we all desire.

Most contracts are negotiable. I don't want compensation I want stability and success for the club I love. We have had too many managers and now I just want Adam to stay and get us as high up the pyramid as he can.

Big Shaun Okojie moves from Corinthian to Aldershot as mentioned on another thread.

Horsham lose another big player with Tony Nwachukwu moving to Worthing.

And Faversham sign 5 as below including a Hastings old boy, as they signal their intent to push for promotion next season.

Ray insisted the raid for extra strength signalled a renewed quest for promotion at Shepherd Neame Stadium.
And he refused to rule out more signings as the 2017/18 Ryman League South season nears.
Ray said: "The timing of the announcements is important.
"We're close now to starting pre-season - we're only four weeks away.
"Hopefully it will give the supporters something to get excited about. It shows the club's intent."
Lilywhites favourite Simon Overland has rejoined the club as keeper from local rivals Sittingbourne, while Will Godmon departs.
Gillingham scholar Sam Lawford, 18, who finished last season at Ramsgate, has signed along with Herne Bay's Mark Lovell, 33, to provide firepower up front.
And Ray also brought in two central midfielders - Sheppey Utd's Danny Walder, 27, and Ramsgate's Macauley Murray, 22.
Ray "I'm delighted to announce five new signings in one day.
"All those players are going to offer us something and add to the strength in depth.
"If you add those five names to the squad that we finished with from the back end of the season then you can see my intent in terms of capturing a little bit of the momentum that was built off the pitch with the new build and the new changing rooms.
"I've got the appetite to build a side to challenge again.
"There were a couple of aspects during the season that I felt we could improve on. "One of the things that stood out for me last season was that at times we didn't have the strength in depth to challenge some of the better teams - just not a competitive 16.
"I want the competition for places, I want to see that drive and that hunger, and that's only generated by creating that little bit of competition within the team."
He said others may still join the squad ahead of
"I couldn't say I'm 100 per cent done - I'm always on the lookout for something.
"The key, as with these signings, is that they've got be improving us.
"They've got to be better players coming in, so if there are players out there that I feel can improve us then I'll still be looking for those to improve the squad."

Sh... Bert, I think they`ll all asleep

So much going on at Billericay Town at present. With all their money they are certainly the team that everyone seems to hate at present. Latest news is the possible arrival of Joe Cole and the following statement from the club.

 

The Club is aware of some negative comments on social media, made by Concord Rangers Chairman Antony Smith.

Billericay Town Football Club’s players and supporters had very much been looking forward to the friendly away fixture against Corncord on Saturday 29th July.

In light of these personal, negative comments, directed at Glenn Tamplin, as a Club we do not feel it appropriate to expose our travelling supporters to such open negativity – particularly when the fixture was pitched as a pre-season ‘friendly’.

The safety and enjoyment of our travelling fans is of paramount importance to us as a Club and we have therefore had no choice but to cancel the Concord Rangers fixture.

The Club are pleased and proud to welcome Leyton Orient to a home fixture at the AGP Arena on Saturday 29th July.

Billericay Town Football Club

Lets see how long it lasts at Billericay. I recall an old STAMCO following mate of mine 20 years ago saying much the same about a Lottery winner who had taken over at Hastings Town........

I know no news is supposedly good news but apart from Jack Dixon & Josh Pelling have we actually got anyone else to sign on for certain?
All very Quiet on our Website but other teams seem to be making signings!

no difference from any other year hastings behind in signings and pick up players late onbut maybe new manager not showing his hand yet,what I would like to know is what players are staying ie stannard if the main players are staying that would be good.

Still no news on anymore signings? Or future signings? I can't help but feel we are going to be missing out now pre season has started for most teams?
