That is a good post Matt. Thank you for taking the time to write it. Good luck Bicester, dont give up.

: Just read all the debate on Bicester...took me
: half an hour!
:
: As an outsider of the club but as a follower
: of the Hellenic league I think its sad the
: situation the club is in. However I think
: its even sadder some of the comments made by
: the likes of BSA and Unhappyfan. I find
: people that hide behind aliases slagging off
: clubs often have a hidden agenda and these
: two certainly seem to have some sort of
: agenda.
:
: Running a football club is very difficult
: both in the past and even more so in this
: current climate and unless you have tried
: personally you won't know how hard it is.
:
: Firstly with regards "Local
: players", that debate has been around
: for years now. I doubt many people can name
: a team that has been successful for a number
: of years made up of just local players, you
: would maybe have to go back to the old days
: when there was no money being paid to
: players. Secondly to the likes of BSA or
: Unhappyfan, if you have such knowledge of
: all these wonderful local players who would
: play for Bicester for no money at all please
: post your team from Goalkeeper through to
: front two and all of your subs?? You also
: say that having local players would increase
: crowds, i'm inclined to disagree with that
: opinion also. Yes you may get a handful of
: new followers but there is no way that all
: of a sudden there will be attendances of
: 150+ at games because they are local
: players, just look around non league
: football at these levels in general and
: crowds aren't that great anymore.
:
: I don't know Nick H at all, never met him
: and perhaps sometimes he does put things he
: shouldn't but he certainly seems to care for
: the club, doesn't hide away and is putting
: himself in the firing line by working for
: the club, so he should be shown the respect
: for that as there seems to be plenty on here
: griping that haven't got the balls to do so.
:
: With regards Chris Hurley the Manager, he
: has only just recently come into the job,
: has no budget to work with and has inherited
: a struggling team. There is no way on earth
: he is all of a sudden going to bring in a
: new team that automatically wins lots of
: games and they rapidly rise up the table,
: anyone who thinks that doesn't understand
: football. With no money, he will have to get
: the existing players fitter, try and get
: some confidence in them and try and make bad
: players into average players and gradually
: try and find some players with potential and
: gamble on them and hope that some pay off as
: they will be unproven. So called proven
: players 90-95% of the time want wages in
: this day and age.
:
: All this debate and slagging off on here is
: not going to help improve Bicester Town FC,
: if anything those doing the slagging are
: actually causing more harm than good. Anyone
: new to the area, be it players or potential
: sponsors or even helpers may read this and
: be put off by all the politics so if you
: truly support Bicester perhaps go along and
: have a chat with the club as to ways you can
: help.
:
: Good luck to all at Bicester
