Summer clear out
21/04 Who's heading for the exit and who's coming in?  I predict Danny Sturman is the first to go.  I hear Kenny Evans has talked to him about joining Locks Heath. 
Toby Jones
22/04 I am sure that will of offended the Sturman clan Toby.  One of the last Gosport lads in the team.  People were complaining about not enough local players in the team a few months ago.

23/04 Danny Sturman leaving for Locks Heath?  Do me a favour.  He is far above that standard and why would he talk to Kenny Evans unless they were getting drunk together?  Neither he or Locks Heath are good enough to attract Danny and why would Danny want to go?  Its only his long term injury which has kept him out of the side. 
Who is the comedian?
23/04 That's news to me but Danny would be a welcomed addition to Locks Heath if he wanted to join us.  But as always, we are going into silly season when there's talk of players going to 12 different clubs and everyone knows that their tip is genuine.  Probably not a good idea to continue with this thread, unless everyone just wants a laugh at all the rumours.

24/04 Having had 40 odd players through the squad this season there is plenty of scope for change.  They can't all play next season and with some it will take a strain to remember who they all were.

24/04 Its funny how these stories get leaked.  I have also heard this rumour about Danny.  He is not Southern League standard but I think he could play at a higher league then Locks Heath.  He is a good Wessex player and as long as he isn't leaving for Fareham then I wish him well for the future. 
Boro' Billy
24/04 I have to say that Danny hasn't really had the chance to prove whether he's a Southern League player or not because of his ongoing injury.  As for him going to Locks Heath - rumours are not facts and people should remember that.

24/04 Do you think the fans who want more local players want to remain in the Southern League?  In the late 90's under Dave Pitt the idea was to go back to attracting local Gosport boys.  This was disastrous and resulted in a poor Boro' team that was close to relegation.  If people want to go back to those dark days then we can but I would rather attract the best players from around the area.  I for one do not want to see the drinking culture of the past!  We are now on another level. 
Toby Jones
24/04 Two points.  On the subject of local players you have to ask yourself what is local these days.  Personally I consider players who live within 15-20 miles of Privett to be pretty local and when I did a quick headcount earlier in the season only about four of the first team regulars lived outside that zone. 
The second point is that for 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon those 11 players have to be The Boro' and show commitment and pride in the club and the those they are representing.  If they can do that, I don't care where they live.  We could pick only Gosport players to play for Gosport but would they show any more commitment?  Debatable and like Toby states, think of the quality we'd be putting on the park.  Would supporters be happy cheering on local lads who are hammered every week?

25/04 Call me old fashioned but I like nothing more than to see local lads like Browner, Sturman, Manna, Rewey, Thommo and Cammack to name a few playing for The Boro'.  I only started watching Boro' for this reason after becoming disenchanted with the primo's of the premiership.  There is a lot of talent in this town and anyone can see that in the youth setup.  We are all different in what we want.

25/04 Please wake up and smell the coffee.  The higher you progress the further a field your players come from.  How many Chelsea players come from Chelsea?  We expect the team to progress so should the level of supporters  intelligence! 
Shadow
26/04 As for me speaking to Danny, I speak to him every time I see him.   As an ex-player of mine at Fleetlands, I always ask how he is doing so if people want to read more into that than I suggest they take up fishing as they obviously have too much time and imagination.
Kenny Evans
28/04 After another bad season of injury I'm fully intending to start pre-season training with the Club.  I am running again now and will definitely be going back fitter and stronger.  I'm in regular contact with the gaffer and all the time he wants me at the Club I will be there.  I'm looking forward to an injury free season, where I am sure we will all be aiming for at least a play-off place.  It's an honour to play for my home town club and I cant wait to get back to playing.  Thanks for the positive comments.
Danny Sturman
28/04 Shadow, comparing Chelsea with Boro' isn't exactly intelligent is it?
Shaun Clulow
29/04 Missing the point Shaun. 
Shadow
30/04 Well said the Sturminator.  Even if the much missed Shed Shrieker (part of the Sturman clan) has been AWOL most of the season. 
Scummer
01/05 A good positive end to the season on the pitch and hopefully all players signed back up so we can look forward to having a good go next season right?  The season has only been over a week and the usual people are at it.  Who cares where the players come from?  Who cares about transfer rumours?  The thing we should care about is that this Club can achieve something special next season.  So we need unity on and off the pitch.  Stop the moaning start the supporting Borough. 
Robbie Chitts
02/05 Its nice that Danny wants to stay at the Club but he's been injured for two years now and we have two excellent centre midfielders with plenty of youngsters as back up.  Sorry Danny but its time to go. 
Mark Davis
03/05 So any rumours about new signings?  I see from the list we've not signed anyone new yet and Josh Thomas and Glen Howes have not re-signed.  I hope neither of them have moved on. 
Interested
03/05 The Club will not publish rumours on the site for the very reason that alerting other clubs to our interest in a player may result in us losing him.  As for Josh, Glen and any other player that hasn't re-signed as yet, Pikey is talking to all of the squad but it takes time to get round to them all.  As soon as we know one way or another the details will be online. 
Site Manager
14/05 Danny don't go!  Ignore that moron Mark Davis.  You will make a come back. 
Outspoken One
16/05 Danny will give strength to the squad but he wont be a starter.  Glenn Howes and Michael Birmingham will start and there will be a few in front of him.  He's a nice lad though. 
Paul Grey
22/05 I was pleased to see that John Wilson has signed on again for another season. I like the way he plays and think he has been underrated at times.  He is still improving and could give us extra fire power up front. 
Skumbanana
28/05 Something that really bothered me last year is when we had a number of players in the team, why was young Rob Pittman brought into the first team? He has no experience in the Southern League and lacked desire to play.  Is he even good enough for the reserves? 
Anon
09/06 My apologies to Scummer and the rest of the Tin Hut for my lack of appearances last season.  Surely the games were much more enjoyable?  Nevertheless, I will return next year.  
Shed Shrieker
11/06 Any news on Lloyd O'Neill?  Apparently Havant are showing interest as well as other Conference teams.  Has he signed on for next season?  
Interested Onlooker
21/06 It will be a real shame if we lose Lloyd.  Fantastic player with age on his side.  Does anyone know what the situation is with him?
