Retained Players
Some retained players announced: Luke Haines, Freddie Grant, Will King, Olaf Koszela, Henry Sady, Jac Poffley.
Great to keep Luke. Captain and our best player last season definitely makes him the most important player to keep and I'm delighted he's signed on. Hopefully Freddie's injury isn't too bad as he works well with Luke and is a great player in his own right. Will King always dependable. Other 3 all still young and will hopefully fare better a level below.
I think that leaves us with Harry Parsons, Sol Wanjau-Smith and Ethan Vaughan as players not confirmed either way.

Re: Retained Players
Positive news from the club! If parsons stays we win the league… well maybe not but we can dream.
Also can someone confirm how many season tickets have been sold?

Re: Retained Players
An interesting post on the Gloucester City forum, but as it’s speculative I won’t repeat it here. If you are interested it’s on their retained thread post number 223.

Re: Retained Players
Well yet another player has departed, this is turning into one big joke now. I am so glad l haven't wasted my money on a season ticket this year.
It would be nice to start getting some positive news for a change but as usual that is too much to ask for.
With the side we are likely to have next season, if we can actually field one, we are going to struggle so roll on the day when Horgan is given the push.

Re: Retained Players
What a bl***y shambles! That’s the 12th contract player to leave. Clearly the playing budget has been dramatically reduced and supporters must be wondering just who will be playing for the club next season. Currently not a good look to put it mildly but I hope I’m wrong!!

Re: Retained Players
Makes it even worse that he has gone to Bath - what a complete shambles this club has become.

Re: Retained Players
Academy FC is on the cards next season i reckon.
Is anyone at the wheel there? Or is the first team not the main priority? Or Is there no 1st team money?
Other clubs communicate and engage. Chippenham hide behind statements quoting "club policy".
Whilst Bath City and Gloucester are proactive and moving forward for next season, it looks to me like Chippenham are running the first team down? As stated on this thread - it's become a shambles. Odd way to run a club.
