I think exdolphin is wrong I watch many Sunday league games and abbey being one of them I have to say I’ve never seen any of our current squad play Sunday league, today’s game had all the hallmarks of an upset losing burbs whisk then Lee combined with Corby getting sent off as well as some individual silly mistakes made it all the easier for KL . As for budgets we are not in with a chance against many teams in the league but I honestly believe that if we can get the injured and Ill players back and avoid injuries from then we will win more than we lose COYD.

Clearly a big factor - as Jack has pointed out several times, we have the smallest squad in the league. Lack funds for further players. Tommy made clear loan signings are challenging. With a full squad I believe we are competitive. But with few injuries and suspensions we are going to really struggle. I think we will do well to stay up unless something changes. Do we really have the smallest squad in the league, or is this Tom getting his excuses in first, and Jack repeating them for fear of losing access? I don’t think Dorchester, Wimborne, Walton Casuals, Kings Langley are better resourced than us financially. It’s a fact - Poole have the fewest players registered in the Southern League Premier South. Don’t know how I’m making excuses for TK - he wasn’t at the game today, so I won’t be speaking to him until midweek ahead of Salisbury. I don’t know why my integrity is being questioned - I’ve never been shy to ask questions, and at least I’m the only journalist who covers Poole. I can see why being the only person reporting on the club may make it appear I am a “mouthpiece” but I certainly don’t pull punches when I want to ask a question. Tommy has never brought up the squad size, quotes have come through my questions after I went through the Southern League website and worked out that Poole have the fewest players registered. Can’t comment directly on the finances of those other clubs but had it confirmed from a few separate sources that Dorchester offered better finances in their bid for Tom Blair than Poole. Dorch have also been trying to convince London based strikers to join them since the start of preseason, and recently signed one from Chesham.

JT and all
"until the club has a permanent home.a general sense of purgatory"
Well Town Fans have surely done their time in the basement haven't they?
sometime the heat down here gets very intense and then a cool breeze with a siren's voice whispers
stuff about a "Big Announcement Coming"
I think that line is at least Three years old now and some of us sinners would like to feel a little redemption!!
Seriously,How can the Club broaden its fan base when both off and on the field it does not seem to be going anywhere?

I don’t think Dorchester, Wimborne, Walton Casuals, Kings Langley are better resourced than us financially. Yes we do have the smallest squad in the league and Tom has to deal with it. I think you are being unfair on Tom to suggest otherwise and even more unfair on poor Jack who will be upset with your suggestion that he is in collusion with Tom to cover up deficiencies.

Do your research Jack - Lerone (Rudy) Plummer has been doing the Wessex League circuit for years as a flat-track bully with a poor disciplinary record. He even trialled with us to no avail. A few weeks at Chesham doesn’t make your case or Tommy’s.

Seriously,How can the Club broaden its fan base when both off and on the field it does not seem to be going anywhere? Ultimately until the council steps up and delivers on its near 30 year old promise of a new ground and the funding initially pledged, you’re relying on a rich benefactor appearing out of nowhere to finance the entire thing. Unless they’re a fan who has won the lottery, you’d suspect there would be a nefarious catch - probably to develop the area around the ground as housing, where the real money is, which of course is at risk to the club again. The current BoD has grinded and grinded, pushing the limits of what has been possible at Tatnam. Without their efforts, if the club had just shut up and accepted the council’s decisions each time, the club would still be stuck in the Wessex Premier. As I’ve mooted on Twitter I am currently researching and preparing a series of articles based on this whole issue.

Also, how many of our U23s and younger are registered as potential first team players? Same question for other teams in this league. ‘I looked on the internet’ is not journalism in any meaningful sense.

Fine Rob, you are entitled to your opinion. Jack as a journalist needs to do better, and if he’s upset by my comments, needs to find another career.

He only dropped back down to play for B&L because of the curtailment of the Southern League. It’s also a fact that Dorch made a bid for Jack Mazzone, a highly sought after London-based striker… I’m not going to take half-baked comments hiding behind a profile ironically claiming a lack of research without half a clue themselves. Ultimately what I say and report has no impact on Tommy, so I don’t know why you’re coming for me.

I genuinely don’t know why you’ve decided to target me as if I’m responsible for what’s occurring at the club, or act as if I’m pulling the strings in a mass media conspiracy to keep Tommy in a job. You might not think I am a good journalist, and I’m fine with that, because enough people appreciate what I do. What I don’t appreciate is being accused of something I am not with zero proof.

Just lazy journalism, possibly informed by you being soft in order to maintain a contact whilst building your portfolio. If you can’t handle that, move on.

Now it’s about how poor a journalist I am, how I should go and find another career, how lazy I am etc. I’ve been doing this for the last 7 years and I hope to do it even longer. I’ve never been labelled as lazy by any fellow professional in the industry, nor had my integrity questioned. You randomly name dropped me out of nowhere. As I’ve said, you can keep on making insulting comments about my journalism. I’m lucky enough to know and be assured that people enjoy my work, and as long as that stays the case I shall continue no matter how many personal attacks you make behind your anonymous profile.

I do not claim to be an ambassador, a club official, or employee in any capacity for the club (at least not since the 2016-17) season, but it’s interesting to admit that you did start this all, and then faked outrage! Amusing.

Your original comment remarked on how small the squad size was, which you’ve now completely dropped, and the budget of certain clubs, including Dorchester. I didn’t drop it - I queried whether clubs had different policies in deciding who to register as potential first team players and whether you were comparing like with like. If not that invalidated your ‘smallest squad’ argument and may have even strengthened mine (that Tom was deciding for whatever reason not to have the option to call on them). After providing you with information highlighting Dorch’s spending power compared to Poole, you’ve started arguing semantics about where Plummer is based.You provided no information that highlighted Dorchester’s spending power. I wasn’t arguing about where Plummer was based, rather that his playing record (mostly teams below our level) suggests that he is not an expensive player, but one that would be keen to sign for any team that would take him (not us apparently). And if he went back to B&L under lockdown, doesn’t that mean he’s more likely to be south-coast then London-based, so unlikely to come with a travelling costs premium. So even your ‘moving the goalposts’ to a geographical issue is spurious, not semantics. As for Jack Mazzone, me asking Taylor Swift for a date (whether she had to travel from Lymington, London or Los Angeles) doesn’t indicate that I’m financially better resourced than the guy next door. Just that I’m more deluded, desperate, or trying to impress a gullible third party (honestly supporters, we’re doing everything we can to improve the team!). So keep accusing me of moving the goalposts, being clueless or half-baked arguments. Each time you do is really ‘amusing’. quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/17/remain-silent/

So keep accusing me of moving the goalposts, being clueless or half-baked arguments. Each time you is really ‘amusing’. Sorry, the fact that you can’t make just one long post but instead multiple small posts that get lost in your constant stream is annoying. Poole have Will Fletcher, Charles Medway, Joe Wickham, Will Butler and Bailey Rowe are all U23s registered in the Southern League, although Rowe hasn’t featured for the U23s this season. Most clubs will have a few youngsters registered, but very rarely their entire U23 squad, mainly because you can register players same-day. The only exception to this is Farnborough, who had 58 registered last time I checked, and had used 32 in all comps so far. They have quite a few youngsters registered, but then again they have a lot of players registered. I highlighted that Dorch out bid Poole for Tom Blair, and have been chasing players demanding high wages all summer. I believe that Dorchester have players on contract (at least one I am sure) whilst Poole have none. All of this to me suggest Dorch have a bigger budget than Poole. Not massively so, not the biggest in the league, just head to head. As this is the only club I have knowledge of, I couldn’t comment on Walton, Wimborne etc. I imagine Poole are relatively midtable in terms of their wage budget, based on what I’ve heard from across the leagues and the players signed for clubs. Certainly no paupers but unable to outbid clubs for players against Southern League clubs. At the very least, I can confidently say Gosport, Salisbury, Hayes, Taunton, Farnborough and Swindon Supermarine have larger budgets than Poole. Plummer wasn’t a free agent - he was somehow convinced to move from Chesham to Dorchester, a somewhat sideways move at best. Could it have been for purely travelling reasons? Possibly, but I’m willing to bet Dorch improved his wages.

Ah, complaining about how I post is annoying and somehow making it difficult for you to back up your opinions with facts, eg what Rudy Plummer is earning. Who is moving the goal posts now?

And Tom Blair recently signed for Salisbury, not Dorchester, unless we were outbid by Dorch too (source?), or you are aware of a bid at a much earlier stage of his career (that may have no bearing on your argument).

And Tom Blair recently signed for Salisbury, not Dorchester, unless we were outbid by Dorch at a much earlier stage of his career (that may have no bearing on your argument). Poole, Dorch, and Salisbury all made bids to sign him on loan from Eastleigh earlier this season. Poole’s bid was rejected by Eastleigh as it didn’t fulfil the wage requirements, Salisbury and Dorchester had bids accepted. Blair then chose Salisbury. I wrote an article about it at the time. Funnily enough, multiple clubs can make bids for the same player. Now if you’re quite done with accusing me of lying, I’d like to enjoy the rest of my evening without being the subject of more baseless accusations. EDIT: And there we can see you quite literally changing the goalposts - you have to keep going back to your constant spewing of nonsense to make it coherent via edits. I don’t know what I’ve done to make you so angry that you keep coming back to your computer to spout more rubbish about me, but there’s far better things to do online.

Jack don’t rise to the bait epat is just a wind up, you do a great job for the supporters of Poole fc and I know for a fact Dorchester are paying higher wages for players so therefore their budget is higher just ignore him and enjoy the rest of your evening and let’s hope the lads do better on tuesday
