It was reported that we put an offer in for a player but he has now signed for another club. If you are talking about Ryan Loft from Scunthorpe, the rumour was only that we had "a strong interest" along with Northampton. I thought Ryan Loft presented ‘Cash in the Attic’ |

You should try standing in the Moan Zone for half a match. You wouldn't think we had any! Heard it been called the Moaners Hut before but not Moan Zone - love it!
Tried that area to watch the game but the moaning was relentless - referees, linos, oppo wingers/full backs - they all get it.
Top thing that gets them absolutely enraged is throw-in creep. Grab a few yards up the sideline at your peril.

Opposition & officials are fair game ! |

I hadn't heard anything about the Ryan Loft transfer rumour until starting this thread. I for one would appreciate it if anyone hears anymore such rumours (ins or outs) in the next couple of weeks if they could post them on this thread? I agree with Del that opposition and officials are 'fair game' - so I'm not sure that would qualify for 'moan zone' status? Officials in particular used to be targeted relentlessly by fans in the main stand when I was a regular there. Never noticed too much moaning about our own players or management in the main stand - although the occasional player would be targeted for abuse whatever he did (in particular one former striker).

I hadn't heard anything about the Ryan Loft transfer rumour until starting this thread. Ditto, might have been a good pick-up for us as he’d scored a fair few this season in a struggling Scunthorpe side. I’m satisfied that we’ve managed to keep hold of our star assets thus far. |

Well if you're luming in those making encouraging shouts with those making discouraging shouts then you're an idiot. |

Your reply isn't clear As I said we try to encourage the team, try to highlight fouls and mistakes. There are people there who slag our team off though including a club volunteer. |

There is a particular loud mouth who stands behind me back under the covered terrace. There is another in the main stand to the West of the Director's box. 20/20 vision, 20/20 hindsight, but 0/20 arithmetic [keeps yelling 'how many times, ref?' when the answer is once]. All he needs is a bell and a tricorn hat and he could be the Town Crier - Oh Yeay. |

On another thread, I’d alluded to us perhaps looking at a full-back from an Isthmian side - turns out that player has just signed for Middlesbrough, we might not have needed to strengthen in that area this window but summer quite possibly.

Well let's not beat ourselves up. Clearly in this case we couldn't have competed with Middlesthingy on both appeal or money. As a Kingstonian player he probably hates us anyway 😃

As an 18 year old (45 years ago) I was offered an opportunity to train with/possibly play for Kingstonian - and I was already a Sutton United supporter (I have been all my life). I don't think that there was anything like the same animosity between the two clubs then as there has been in recent years. Nevertheless, I have no regrets about not taking up the opportunity offered.

Getting back to the subject in hand there's been no activity yet. I don't think we're desperate for too many players. Maybe just a utility player to cover 2 or 3 positions.
