The season they got promoted into the NCEL they were paying wages, good amounts too. At one point they had the Shirebrook captain playing for them on a dual registration.

Surely time to pack in if you end up at Clay Cross. And before anyone has a dig it?s my old stomping ground.

I?d say if they still love playing the game and being involved why not ?
Theres far too many footballing mercenaries these days just in it for the money
You are a very long time retired so I say good luck to em

It was only meant as a tongue in cheek comment, I?ve known a few turn out for Clay Cross over the years, they?ve come a long way from Parkhouse

They'll be playing in the United Counties Division One next season as will Staveley (both moving from the NCEL)

Clay Cross have never paid players before and doubt with attendances of around 100 at 5 quid entry plus they played most of the season at Shirebrook due to flooding can't see that they would have resources to pay wages ?

They appear to have investment, spending money on the pitch for the first time and currently building brand new changing rooms.

Forgotten about him until this post came up. A signing of such promise but so disappointing when he actually played.

That?s what serious injuries do, so don?t be disappointed just be realistic.

Seems a lot of clubs were in for him. Looked as if he was going to be good for us in his loan spell here, but injury did for him. And us.

Yes agreed, you could tell he was going to be a decent player

Good, glad he's back in football, treated poorly by Torquay imo, after being there so long
