Good news that we are chasing down some new players but it doesn't sound like we will be getting the three signings that we were "promised" today .......... I don't know the standard of the sources/rumours on here have deteriorated greatly since Blue79 was kicked off ...........:sad:

Simon Donnelly is an ancient Scottish footballer (37, and not playing much).

Scott Donnelly is a 24yo midfielder who is at Swansea, and been on loan to Wycombe.

Indeed, just think if Blue79 was here today he could be breaking the news Hurst is signing.

 

[Bromley Blue]

Ben Fryer and Chris Phillips have both just tweeted to be at Roots Hall so something is being announced today. Any guesses?

I guess people aren't on holiday on deadline day.

I guess people aren't on holiday on deadline day.

I reckon they might not be on holiday on deadline day. What do you think about them being on holiday on deadline day ?

Gah blip in the matrix. !
