Welcome.
A friendly, if at times strange, bunch in here. :laugh:

As much as I would like to better my Strava times heading west, I don't fancy the return trip!

Have one of each.
I have..
The Rooney thing really shocked me when as you said how do a non league English club entice a guy playing for a Scottish Premier club who also had European football waiting.
It's not uncommon at level 2 to hear of players on a 4 figure sum and I can think of a couple that I have heard about and they are part time as opposed to most of the National League Prem clubs that are now full time.
It's great at the level I watch where you get to know the lads that play and know they play for the right reasons. They play because they love playing and there isn't any of this play acting, the tackles are hard and they get on with it.
You respect them. I even sponsor one of the lads with his shirt. It's nice when they aren't up their a###s.
I assume some money must filter down from the EPL TV deal which once again is costing non footy subscribers on VM, another 3 quid rise soon.
Very few clubs here will be able to pay that type of wage apart from the big two.
In another circumstance, Jack Ross left St Midden (not t typo) to manage Sunderland, five times his wage and some wondered why at first..
Lower league part time up here was always thought as a means to help pay off your mortgage.
The old days, a club always tried to set up loyal players with a pub
You'll find a lot of SPL full timers are on 3 figures a week.
Lack of a decent tv deal doesn't help but the product isn't that attractive apart from the big two so you get them constantly and an odd other game flung in.

It's just gone mad....

There's no need to be like that about Welsh Dragon. Just because she lives in Wales.

I went another longer and hillier wander. First double walk for several weeks and my hips and tootsies are feeling it.
I cycle too much and don't wander the hills enough,
mind you a bit dreich to faffing about in the heather..
Wind has died here as it said it would, I should have hung off but 'rounders' are early tonight.

You should get the lathe going and make a walking stick:smile:
