Well it looks like it's finally going to happen Pierce could be on his way to reading.. he has been fantastic and holds our defence together.. it' s great news for Pierce and i really hope he makes it over in reading, but obviously he will be a big loss to bray..
Hopefully Mitch can now take over and fill the void.. Will bray make anything from the transfer, another player (from another team) is moving to derby for 30,000, any transfer would be very welcome boost for the club...
has he made many appearances for ye so far? its a super deal for bray.Quote:

Yeah, he played most weeks for us, up until the summer break. Such good reading of the game, especially when you consider he's still only 17. If he can keep progressing he'll make a good career for himself.Quote:

I can't imagine he went to cheaply, Belvo also take a slice of his transfer fee and lets be honest, Devo's no gob****e when it comes to things like this. A complete guess would be about the 100k mark signing on a 3 year deal with extras added in. Hopefully a friendly or 2 involved in the deal too, we all know how much Irish people love a friendly against Premiership teams :)
The next one to make the move across the water will be Sean Hurley
EDIT - Hearing that Stephen Last has also been released from his contract today too. I would be amazed if we didn't have a player or 2 lined up...
With all this money the club is going to get I do hope that it will pay its long suffering creditors who have supported the club through the lean times and are waiting to be paid for a couple of years and not waste the money like in the past.Quote:

Ah he's past that now at this stage, time for the barstoolers to start supporting their local club, no chance of that though is there. Maybe you could have a word with them?Quote:

Any barstoolers that i know are only ever on the stool before and after games so i can't help you there!Quote:

You could actually have a chat with them though when you make one of your several visits to the holy land, maybe do a bucket collection in the kop or something?
P.S - You must be due another name change soon, RafaB, KK... BR next in line?
What about the White Pele doing a gig in aid of Bray?! PMSLQuote:

I'll make a list up and start knocking on doors to ask them, i'll let you know how i get on.Quote:

Good idea you should do that!Quote:

Fair play to Foxy for travelling from Arklow to the games. Is he still living down there? I know Richie Parsons travels as well and Maurice Farrell.
Bo McKeever is also at every home match.
Would you travel to an old job every second week to see who things are going???
At the end of the day they were getting paid to play for Bray the only loyalty they had was to money.
You are only kidding yourself to think otherwise.
Tarzan would disagree with you!
There is a few names mentioned above and below who would disagree with your viewpoint, yes we have had plenty of journey men whom had their hand out for the money,but there was plenty of players who played for the Jersey and the club and they are the players whom you see in the carlisle week in week out. I wished there were more ex-players supporting like Richie, Bo, Kieran,Josh and Maurice apologies to any ex.players I forgot to mention that attend the home games.Quote:
