[QUOTE=EnglishRed;2261365]Jermaine Hylton, who was at Solihull last season, would be a good signing.[/QUOTE]

Probably a bit different to current crop.
Its still 11 vs 11 so they may have to offload some.

Torquay sign Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Colovan from Worthing and Dagenham sign winger Harold Odametey from Maidenhead.

And also the ‘good players don’t move until later in the window’ excuse.

We miss out time and time again, and end up scraping the barrel of conference journeymen.

We’ll end up signing a former footgolf champion, and get a press release about an ‘exciting prospect’ that has ‘transferable skills’ lol

Well if that is true Pearson will surely leave very soon,the going rate for the best central defender in the league will be much much higher.

Where has the extra 1200 above budgeted attendances gone ?
Danny Ward installments ?
Fa Cup run ?
Keates pay off ?
Ricketts pay off ?
Stereophonics gig ?
Surely this coming season we can afford better quality than previous seasons in this division.

I guess a lot of it has bridged that gap with the cost of the Racecourse lease, paid for some 2 year deals, improved our squad from mid table to top 4 and puts in a position to retain those players and put us in a position to add the types of players who can make us better.

A young man I highlighted to Luke Fogarty as one we might want to have a look at has just signed for Bradford City. Tyler French, versatile RB and CB from Sudbury.

Was told by club staff that a big portion of the Danny Ward money was spunked on the fancy CCTV system that The Racecourse now has, so that accounts for a big wedge of the cash we did have.

Re: National League Updates 2018/2019 Season
 

Based on the fuzzy picture they put of the fella nicking the shirts in the shop the All Bells & Whistles system they’ve got in the ground didn’t extend to the shop!!!

That's bull.The Ward transfer is worth around £1.5m to us.

By a "big portion" , that implies over half ?

So, what you're implying is we've spent over £750k on a CCTV system.

I think you're scaremongering, and that's coming from someone who's been bitterly critical of the board over the past 12 months

We've all been told stories that are clearly a crock of shit but the common sense in you stops you repeating it on here.

Stating that we've spent a significant amount of £1.5m on a CCTV system is your choice but it's not very clever in hindsight is it.

Don't know how extensive it is but probably £10-15k on CCTV System. Cameras are pretty cheap these days to what they were years ago and far better.

[QUOTE=jonesfach;2261827]Don't know how extensive it is but probably £10-15k on CCTV System. Cameras are pretty cheap these days to what they were years ago and far better.[/QUOTE]

I'd imagine more like 60-75k to be honest, company I work for in Shropshire spent £40,000 last year on a 10,000metre square warehouse, 42 Wide Angle cameras at 1080p Res, including software and hardware support contracts (Those were £5k alone), network switches to supply PoE (Another £1000) and only 6 are Night Vision enabled, I imagine the club would have a lot more (Covering entrance/exits, night vision, probably remote monitoring, so forth)

If MrP had said 'We used a lot of the first installment of 200k on CCTV' then I wouldnt be at all surprised if that was true given figures above. Assuming what he says is actually true anyway.

They've been able to do that for years, I went in there with my son years ago when he was mascot and got the tour, the cctv then could pick faces out of the crowd anywhere in the ground.

And even if it has been upgraded I doubt it cost hundreds of thousands of pounds

2015 the cost of upgrading the cctv for wrexham and putting wifi into hotspots was put at 400k. Now I know that's 4 years ago but it isn't going to cost a fraction of that for the racecourse.

When you say Wrexham you mean the town centre I take it?

If the club has spent that kind of money on CCTV then I'm not sure priorities are in the right place.

County wide I believe Phil, about 95 cameras in total. The new control room only cost £256,000, again this would be far bigger than we have and cost far more.
