Re: Matlock Town

End of an Era After 8 seasons at Matlock Town Ladies fc, tomorrow I’ll pull on that shirt for the very last time after being told last week that Matlock Town no longer want a ladies team and have withdrawn us from the league, it’s been a tough pill to swallow.Over those 8 incredible seasons, I’ve made lifelong friendships, met my wife-to-be, and played against some amazing teams who, just like us, were always fighting to grow the women’s game and inspire the next generation of girls.

Re: Matlock Town
The circus is still in town at Matlock ...
Sounds like they gambled on getting moved out of the NPL East league.

Re: Matlock Town
Interesting statement tonight from David Hilton ...
Wages were £12,000 a week last year, and at times exceeded £14,000 a week. Sounds like he was having to put £6,000 to £8,000 a week in out of his own pocket. What's that, £300,000+ over the season?
Sounds like he wants out as well.

Re: Matlock Town
To be frank Graham Drury appears a bit naive! He’s based in Grantham he signs a contract for a club in the NPL East and expects the southern based players to travel north. As David Hilton mentioned Drury has nearly become our manager on a number of occasions. Looks like we had a lucky escape. I may be being very unfair to Graham Drury and I have only read Hilton’s version of events but it’s a bad look for Matlock. They must be thinking life was much simpler before Dave got involved!

The money DH has put in is his own and not a loan, plus he put 20k into Matlock ladies (who he’s now folded) that’s on top of the £3 million he put into Scunthorpe.
He might as well bought knocking on for £4 million worth of lottery tickets and got a better return in his money

Re: Matlock Town
Are you really sure it’s his own money he is putting in and not money he has borrowed from various banks in the names of those clubs he has owned?

Re: Matlock Town
Dec Erratt Thompson has now changed his mind and is staying at Matlock
As posted under Deaks heading
Could him staying be connected to Ryan Cresswell going back.
What a circus
How would any player want to get involved with that shower

Re: Matlock Town
It is only 15:30 on Sunday so all the posts could have been superceded by a change of heart/plan/manager etc by the time you read this! We might giggle at Matlock Town but there is never a dull moment.
