We can confirm that Theo Chapman has today left the club to pursue a new opportunity.
Jono Greening said: “I would like to say a big thank you to Theo for all his efforts in a difficult season. He slotted in well with the lads and everyone loved him. We all wish him well in the next chapter of his football career.”
Thanks Theo and good luck for the future!

@TheDeckNL Be interesting to see the accounts for both clubs & what it takes to dominate the division.
I'm hoping Dale win it but fear York will 🤬

@safc @SeadogBlog Disappointing, thought he'd played well when given the chance.

@Robbie036750331 @DarloSince1883 @MarkHowsham @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @KieranMaguire Strange making your new bird wear your ex's clothes and calling her the same name 😂
English

@seacider @DarloSince1883 @MarkHowsham @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @KieranMaguire Exactly, New club but the closest you will get to the original. Bit like going through the sad loss of your partner and then getting a new one. Can't replace the original but it's still your partner. Most at Gigg have now accepted it.

@DarloSince1883 @Robbie036750331 @MarkHowsham @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @KieranMaguire Exactly this. The spirit continues regardless of it's a phoenix club or not. be thankful we've a club to support
English

@Robbie036750331 @MarkHowsham @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @seacider @blacon_blue @KieranMaguire I'm not saying one way or another with Bury. I don't know. Regardless of whether they went bust or not, to me they are still Bury in the same way Chester is still Chester, Hereford is still Hereford and Macclesfield is still Macclesfield.

What I see here is what I’ve always seen from the club - 100% total transparency and clarity, some other clubs would do well doing the same…
Radcliffe are very fortunate (like a lot of football clubs) to have an excellent owner who puts his own money into the club. A club that’s needed huge infrastructure investment over the last couple of years.
A fortune spent on the best pitch in the league. A ground invested in to become NLN compliant ie floodlight upgrades, turnstiles, food kiosks, fan zone etc.
A lot of money (clearly) has been invested into the football club - it needed it as it was previously left to rack and ruin.
A club budget or club spend is different to what a first team budget is…
There’s a saying in business, you have to speculate to accumulate and that’s exactly what the owner has done, again like many other football clubs owners have done.
But I’ll repeat, there’s huge difference between a club budget (football club spend) and first team budget…
So relax, Jordan Hulme is still the top earner at the club on £300 a week 👍

Radcliffe FC, in the sixth tier of English football in National League North, lost £807k last year, that’s £15,500 a week. It was £674k the previous season. Club is trading due to increased borrowings as long term debt exceeds £2.1m
English

@AffiliatesStop @amjonno 🤞 The town will rally back round. I know a few who can't make the trip to Brid but will be back at the flam stad

I hope my 4k a week wage is safe just bought a new watch 😜

@AffiliatesStop @amjonno Very concerned about next years budget though 🫣

@amjonno Shows how well little old Scarborough do 😉 100% fan owned and not even playing at home this season

@MarkHowsham @DarloSince1883 @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @KieranMaguire So Triggers broom FC?
English

@DarloSince1883 @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @seacider @blacon_blue @KieranMaguire Original #buryfc went bust.
Phoenix started by fans and after a couple of seasons FA gave them back their name and history,honours etc.
So for an interim period they weren't the original but now they are again.
English

@seacider @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire Difference here is obvious. Tamworth and Boston will have recruited players that want to play for the shirt.
Fylde can only recruit players who sign for money
You just aren't going to get as much out of the latter as the former.
English

@DarloSince1883 @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire True Tamworth & Boston just surviving above but look at Fylde, loads of money but will be relegated yet again next season.
English

@seacider @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire For sure but you still have to try.
English

@DarloSince1883 @Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire and probably all reached the ceiling of competing in NLN. Each would seriously struggle in the league above due to no fat cat owner
English

@Charlie_UTS_ @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire As I have just coined the phrase then I and only I get to decide whether that is true or not, and I am also the sole rule maker.
Pure clubs list...
Darlington
Chester
Hereford
Scarborough
Marine.
A small but classy list.
English

@Charlie_UTS_ @DarloSince1883 @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire Unless you're 100% fan owned
English

@DarloSince1883 @aka_willbodie @blacon_blue @MarkHowsham @KieranMaguire Literally no such thing as a pure club 😂
English

@Wessiewhite @sdmclean13 @plazology @safc Was that the hassle when ref had a word with their manager & jonno? Presume something was said the 4th official didn't like?
English

@sdmclean13 @seacider @plazology @safc A fully fit walker for us stays on in the game and bags the winner for me, plus we earnt that luck for the equaliser after unfortunately hitting the post in the first half .
Ps your manager is a proper to&&er btw, literally whining and moaning like a baby it was embarrassing

@safc @BettonWines Thought Waldron & Chapman when he came on had really good games too

Home - Daz Trapps
Away - Fiona & Mark White

@sdmclean13 @Wessiewhite @plazology @safc 👍 We had players suspended, not fully fit and lost wiles early on so if's & buts Thought your 18 was your best player
English

@Wessiewhite @seacider @plazology @safc I think both teams really struggled to create anything of value - and your equaliser was as much to do with our defence playing you through more than anything. We could say the same, Stenson plays today and it’s a different game.
