I would like to start by saying how upset i am to read the unrest and current situation reference your first team.As some of the committee and supporters may be aware i spent many happy years developing youth at kidsgrove i have recently taken over as assistent manager / coach at Market Drayton F.C 1st team in the midland alliance league before i was appointed on the 25/08/07 the side had won 1 game out of a possible 6, since then our record is played 9 lost 1.My point is to run a successful side you need a disciplined squad , with a good work ethic, and a squad of players who generally care passionately about there club this is what i have instilled into Market Drayton.
I hope the situation resolves itself at Kidsgrove quickly as i believe you have the infrastructure and players to compete at a higher level than you currently are.
thanks

Craftman you have got the idea, the fans are no longer appreciated by the players anymore...

Lat season they used to give us all a round of applause for singing our hearts out and what do we get in return? Nothing apart form the Staffs cup.

Ward promised us a real push for promotion this season have we got it so far? No!

Its a shambles, get rid of this idea of chucking money at the problem and buying players that are really quite dire when push comes to shove.

Get some local lads in the side. After all we are KIDSGROVE ATHLETIC, not Kidsgrove Pathetic.

We should get Wardy to come and sit in the stand with us and see what boring football we choose to watch.

Greg Clowes in Stan!

craftman- talking to kiethy the other day and can assure you he does not want away!! he is appalled at the way the club is going, certain promises from wardy and the commitee have not been met and in fact his position is that he wants to stay, he wants to help the club,but its clear for what ever reason the club find it difficult to reward the players who actually want to play for the club and insted dither around half hearted players who have no inclination to really be there except for the money, same for reedy he wants kidsrove but wardi does want him, where does it end!!

Simple solution... New managers in, key players stay.

We have been wrecked by signed all these people... No new signings this season have impressed me at all.

Anthony Kielthy is a great player and should be given back the armband.

Supporters should be given the chance to manage the team for a game.

We all have ideas of what we want, surely we should be given the chance to put it to the test?

I don't care if some body at the club comes up to me on saturday and gives me grief for giving my honest opinion that is why i use my full name on here.

I love the club and i kno i've only been going for for nearly 2 years but i've seen us get better, then worse.

Come on sort it!

as for keightly there is no problem with wardey and keo its just that he had a good pre season and unfortunatley got injured at ball haye green and has been out with a hamstring injury so perhaps wardeys thinking is keo doesnt need the extra pressure of being captain after his injury setback and steve pope is kidsgroves most experienced player that is a fact , he won the unibond premier league with telford as captain .

Sorry to disagree Cazzer

FACT - Wardy/Oggy took his captaincy away last season not this.

FACT -Kio played professionally for Stockport County so Steve Pope, Unibond Premier, Telford, not the most experienced player.

fair point but you did not mention about his injury , still think pope is more experienced , but have no doubt keo would do a good job as skipper

Wardy is on some proper cracking material unless he was talking about the last 5-10 mins of the second half...

I saw Stan's face at one point he looked stunned...

Why don't one of just tell him to sack Wardy or at least try and bring in another manager to help out... Hint Hint Greg Clowes

There appears to be a lot of unrest at your club at the moment which is not helping your side.Losing in both cup competitions at an early stage is an obvious dissapointment but you must unite behind your players i have a passion with your club and i would be thrilled to see you challenge for promotion this year this will not happen unless the club and supporters unite.If u look this season of all the clubs who have started the season well there clubs are united.

Of course clubs are united when they do well but that is short lived when they are losing. It is a lond season & some of the clubs that are united now, will not be by the end of the season.

I find it funny that you can say that you have a passion for the club? The same club that you slated when you were youth team manager? You seem to think THEN that you could do a better job & I guess that is why you are back on the website now. Are you putting your case forward to the fans by saying how well you have done as assistant manager, you have a passion with the club???

I hope the fans aren't fooled by your concern for Kidsgrove.
