Most teams in the BSS are actively posting info on released/newly signed players but so far barely a word from us. The info on
players no longer with us (Paul Goodacre, Tom Champion, Jacob Mingle) has come from the relevant clubs website or the Connie South forum or news thread. Is this good news in as much as most of last years squad are staying with the club, and if so when are we going to be informed of this and any new signings.
It appears that that most BSS clubs are like us reducing their budgets (Woking are going part time for instance) and many are recruiting from the lower leagues.

Patience number 4, patience. Some of last season's players have been offered deals for next season and are considering them, while many others are talking to Rod about joining 'the family'. I can confirm that Craig Holloway has been released and we wish him well for the future.
Generally, I think we need to give our new manager time - he's only been here a fortnight after all!
You are right that most prudent clubs are revising their playing budgets. One or two are 'going for it', but we all know what will happen to those that spend more than they earn.
Finally, no contact from Paul or Tom (who I understand have signed for Dartford) but I did have a nice phone call from Jacob Mingle who wanted to say 'thank you' to all the Braintree supporters for donating the four-figure sum to tied him over while he was off work last September/October because of his double fractured jaw - he said that he would never forget that kind act of generosity.

www.thediamondsfc.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10784~2061255,00.html Striker/Winger heading off to pastures new?  ? Purcell? Hope not but would not be surprised especially as we have signed a goalscorer from Aveley...

One of those players Rushden looked at from a lower league is Matty Johnson from Aveley and they signed him yesterday. Anyone who signs George will have to pay a fee anyway which may put people off.
