Let’s hope this doesn’t come with a curse, like when someone wins Manager of the Month and things go downhill after. Still, it’s a great record for the club to hold. Not many teams have managed it, which makes it quite a rare achievement. That’s something to be proud of, especially for the players and staff who helped make it happen. Does anyone know which other club has done this? It’d be interesting to compare.

As a volunteer, I’ve been really impressed by how much the site has grown. It’s great to see some of the old features coming back, and I think long-time members will notice the effort that’s gone into making things better. Everything feels like it’s falling into place. It’s also encouraging to see familiar faces returning, along with new ones joining in. The mix of old and new members gives the forum a fresh energy, and it’s nice to see people engaging again. On the topic of donations, I’ll give you £20 at the next home game, @Chris.

Matthew Dennis was superb. It was great to see him play the full match, as it gave him a real chance to get his first hat-trick. He had a few good tries at making it happen, and it would have been a special moment. The team played much better overall. But we should keep in mind that Bromley are well organised, and some of our changes meant the stronger players went off early. Nick Tsaroulla, Jodi Jones and Barry Cotter all did well. Dennis stood out above the rest, though. We lost a bit of drive after Martin Paterson made his substitutions.

Matt Palmer gets my vote, especially with the role he played in both halves. He worked hard and made a difference. Nick Tsaroulla did well when he came on. He added some energy and looked sharp. I wanted to see more from Keanan Bennetts. He’s shown promise before, but this time he didn’t offer much and seemed to struggle defensively. Too many of them had a poor game overall. It just wasn’t good enough.

I’ve never seen a web link take you to two different pages, even though it’s the exact same URL. It’s a bit odd. If you do click it, make sure to choose the link next to “Did you mean: West Allotment Celtic F.C”. That’s the one that gives you the right info, something I didn’t realise at first. With a name like West Allotment, you’d expect it to end in Albion, not Celtic.

Welcome! Hello, @muskan761947. It's good to be welcoming you, please feel free to reach out if I can help you or if you need help. Until then, care to tell us a little about yourself?

That’s exactly what I mean. Fans asked for this before, and now it’s finally here. We’ve still got a head coach who’s learning, but he’ll gain a lot from the people around him. With his own drive to win matches, having that support should help things go better than they would have without it.

The interview covered most of the time between when he was appointed, when he arrived, and what he’s been doing over the summer. I liked hearing that the staff seem to be going to matches and playing an active part in recruitment, planning, and helping with tactics. Martin Paterson’s recent interview explained his role and confirmed that he makes the final decisions on match days. That shows he’s being given useful information to guide him. Isn’t this what we wanted for Stuart Maynard last season? For him to have more support, instead of making stubborn choices and going into games with a “whatever happens, happens” attitude.

The BBC makes mistakes like anyone else, but there are times when you'd expect better. It can be funny, but it's also a bit sad to see something that was once respected now being laughed at.

It’s good to have the full squad back, but I do wonder if some of the signings were made because a few of the injured players might be out longer than we realise. That could explain why we’ve brought in extra cover. Signing Nick Tsaroulla and Will Jarvis would be a solid step forward. They’d add strength where we need it, and I really hope Mai Traore gets a chance to show what he can do. We already know how well Scott Robertson and Matt Palmer work together, but even Robertson linking up with someone else off the bench could make a real difference.

Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @brad88. Take a little time to familiarise yourself with the site, if you have any questions please do ask. Feel free to introduce yourself.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Stevelatimer. Would you mind telling us a little bit about your background as a supporter?

I heard that Luke Williams was volunteering at the airport. If that’s true, it says a lot about what kind of person he is. If he’s actually working there, it doesn’t change much. But choosing to give up his own time shows great character, especially from someone who speaks with such passion. The image was shared nearly two million times, and lots of articles looked into his private life. It shows both the good and the bad sides of how things like this can spread.

What do Bradford City expect? They already spend a lot just to play at Valley Parade. Other clubs might see that as a sign they’re willing to splash out on players too. But players above League One often come with bigger price tags, and that’s why making use of free agents and free transfers really matters. They’ve made some decent signings, but it feels like their plan is to spend in order to survive again. Other teams may think Bradford are happy to throw money at problems. Does Ryan Sparks genuinely believe they can bring in players at their level without other clubs asking for more? That’s just how football works.
