Fans Forum at Edgar Street

Below are the main points from this evening's fans forum at Edgar Street. 146 supporters were in Addisons to listen to manager Martin Foyle.

John Layton still head of youth. Looking for youth team to bring players through.

Dan Connor going red in the corner...(after kind words from HUISA chairman!)

Heath had operation will be fit for start of season. Stam and Dalibard hoped will be ok for coming season.

Porter disagrees with statement from Ex about the tempo in Conference being lower.

On agents. Some good some bad. Won't be paying too much to them.

Open day same day as Legends game.

Wants players to appreciate the fans

Foyle has spoken to a few supporters. Key things asked for are desire and commitment

If it takes a few loan players Foyle will use it. No problem as long as they're right.

633 season tickets sold to date, highest at this stage for some years

Likes the variable training of Belmont, Ludlow etc. Good to vary sometimes

Danny Glover - cocky little so and so!

Asked Port Vale fans to suggest names to the club. Might do the same down here.

Will be setting rules about Twitter use. Doesn't want to see team news leaked.

On Featherstone offered deal far more than we could afford. No contact from player or agent so felt he didn't want to stay anyway.

Foyle is looking for spare rooms to put up trialists pre season.

Foyle looking for more local players to cut accomodation bills

Foyle doesn't read websites or papers

Important in pre season to build confidence and spirit after relegation

On Purkiss, Foyle has spoken but other offers on table

Foyle says centre half, right back, right winger and 3 strikers are desired signings

Captains role is massive. No decision made. Wait to see pre season. Centre half or central midfield likely.

Wants to attack teams at home.

Asked about Peters assessment of being worst team in the league. Of games he saw blames nerves and individual errors.

Had some details of available loanees today.

No talks with Arquin. Wants fresh blood with ten already signed.

Talking to three of the youth teamers about pre season trials with first team


Headache with friendlies. Struggle to arrange games as everyone booked up. Adds Shrewsbury to list of waiting clubs.

Would like a cup run to boost finances

Probably playing 4-4-2. Wants third striker as spare.

Looking for three good strikers.

Disappointed to lose Bartlett. Taken a cut in wages to leave. Another keeper signed today

Foyle hasn't offered Pell around. No offers received.

Two signings agreed have contracts elsewhere for next season at present.

Someone mentions Richard Brodie. Confirm interest and talks but waiting

Overnight stays - 2 next season after 13 last term. Barrow and Gateshead.

Foyle wants experienced conference players rather than young fl players

Foyle contract is one year at chairman's choice.

Foyle on Peters - Good football person. Will assist chairman on financial side plus a bit of coaching.

On the pitch, Foyle will consider widening it again.


Porter says he wants to finish as high as we can.


Has a backbone in place to build a team on with ten signed on. Expects top 10 after 15 games.


Watched Bulls 4/5 times last season. Not seen Clucas play yet.


No offer to Green due to finances.


On Purdie - come in today. Another offer made. Wants to move towards coaching. Suggested a coaching role. Interest from FL side.


"We will be playing football"


Lunt and Facey have had offers but nowhere near last seasons wages. Expected to go elsewhere.


Agreed three signing. Sounds like they won't be named tonight.
Foyle waiting to sign strikers before predicting a finishing position.

And they're taking to the stage...


Filling up nicely in the Starlite Rooms for the fans forum.
