The window opens tomorrow. The Happy Shop best do a stock take of the shirt letters and numbers today, we don't want to be running out when the rush starts.

Would imagine our social media section will be in for a busy Friday.

I'm going with 2 in tomorrow then Mr and Mrs Trailist's lad to be proud of their sons when the B team start pre-season.

One thing is sure, the club is being very tight-lipped about the signings that Evatt said he had signed. I hope that it doesn't turn out to be another of the contract is in my pocket from Mr Gartside. We could well do without any of that nonsense.

How will the announcements.go.
Anything today, drip fed over the weekend or a rush of them on Monday.
Is Benny up manning the abacus

Nothing today and time is running out for any announcement today.

It may be a slower transfer window than expected. I hope that Evatt can pull it out of the bag.

Heard it would be quiet so didn't expect anything today. Edwards signed for Chester. Happy for the lad to rebuild his career and hopefully do well and get a league club in the future. The 5 sub rule is back which should suit evatt in he can rotate his forwards like he did effectively in league 2. Last welcome back pasty. Maybe next time check in. We never knew what happened to golden.

Say our front 2 and 10 are Lee, dapo and Charles then bringing on Bakayoko, Bodvarsson and Kachunga on after 60 minutes and 2 subs still available will be mighty effective. Plus I expect us to sign another attacking player. James Collins has been mentioned and would be something different.

I think the 5 sub-rule changes will be an absolute bonus for us with the talent that we have upfront.

There are effectively four opportunities to bring subs on. If we make changes at halftime, it doesn't count as one of the three opportunities to change the lineup.

I think that changes will suit us perfectly.

Regarding Golden, I can only think of one possible explanation and it is the worst possible outcome.

It's like waiting for a bus is this.
I'm waiting for a number 8 what number are you waiting for? I bet four will come at once and mine won't be one of them or won't stop.

Just waiting for Trafford and Fossey. Been mentioned this morning if Trafford signs then Dixon will be allowed to return to barrow. Fair enough as I don't think he's quite league one standard.

He certainly didn't look like it. Unless he has improved since Trafford arrived he isn't worth keeping.

It's sad but you can't carry passengers in this game, so put him on a bus with a one-way ticket to Barrow regardless of whether or not we sign Trafford.

The B.N. is suggesting that we may have been handed a potential boost to sign Fossey.

Of course, it's just speculation from something that Nixon wrote so we should write it off now and just wait and see. The link is below.

Is the queue waiting for the club to open.
We need to have a rush today for my guess on incommings to come up trumps.

I don't think that it is going to happen but we will see. You said four. That is most unlikely. I said two but that may be well off the mark as well.

The clock is ticking.

Is IE stuck in a queue at an airport somewhere ?

We've done a thing.

It is the fact that 5 of our youngsters have become pros.

Ellis Litherland (GK)
Max Conway (Def)
Arran Pettifer (Mid)
Matthew Tweedley (Mid)
Lamine Toure (Def/Str)

Put a link to it. To help me lol. 5 new pros but for the b squad. This is where it gets confusing.

I've heard good things about all 5 of them, is this a new fast track scheme. If they don't push on its adios this time next year.
With what's being invested again in a B team, it needs to show results and pay for itself.

Can I have 4 1st team signings before I go to bed ?

I was going to suggest a Roll Over, keeping the guesses until this time next week.
Then I realised that stock take on the letters and numbers may have highlighted a shortfall in whats required, then there's the world shortage of letters and numbers.
We could be rolling over until yellow ticker day on Sky.

Somebody must have a as new shirt with Fossey on the back. I'm sure they'd lend it to the club for a photo session.

It's good news that we have signed potentially good players for the future from our youth team. However is this a story to fill the columns to mask the apparent lack of proper signings for the first-team squad?

It's getting very close to the lads starting pre-season fitness tests and Evatt wanted all his ducks in a line before the pre-season training started. That is looking quite unlikely at the moment and shortly after, the flight to Portugal for a pre-season training jolly will begin.

We really need to be getting some news of decent signings for the first-team squad before all the best options have been snapped up by our competitors.

Tutte signs on as play coach for the b team plus senior signs his contract. Will try to make sense of all this later. https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2022/june/tutte-signs-up-for-new-b-role/

That's another one signed for the team.

Tutte as plater/coach. All I can say is that it can't do any harm.

Close your eyes to read the back page of the BEN this morning.
