Surely Joe deserves his own thread! Devastated to see him go. Been an absolute joy to watch and an impossible void to fill. No doubt the full story will emerge but wish him all the best.

I hope someone gives us the lowdown. There were a few rumours flying around the Pan today. Not all about Joe either. Horsham were mentioned a few times as they seem to have money to burn at the moment

Horsham were mentioned a few times as they seem to have money to burn at the moment As a fan I can understand the frustration when there’s something happening but people don’t know about it. But as someone inside the club I fully understand why some things aren’t made public. Whether that’s because of commercially confidential information or because something hasn’t been completed or fully agreed with all parties yet. People will gossip or share rumours. That’s natural. 90% of what I hear is incorrect and if I tried to correct everything I’d be online all day and night. Many clubs in our league, and the leagues below have significant budgets so it appears and are investing in their squads for this season. I’ve mentioned before, it’s not always about the money. There’s always more to a story than meets the eye and when the time is right details will be published

Thank you Stuart. We realise that is the case. It is frustrating though. There were some glum faces at the Pan today when the news got out

Even with last seasons team this season would be a struggle. Tough tough season ahead and they really will need our positive support.

As I mentioned elsewhere players leave for a variety of reasons, the real kick in the teeth with this one is that it is only a week before the season starts and we have to replace a 30 goal striker - which is highly unlikely…..unless that is Mondays announcement of course!
If Joe has left for Ramsgate as has been mentioned then I would have no qualms about it, from that area I believe and has a young family who he would get to spend more time with presumably. If it is Horsham then that would be slightly different as would appear on the outside to be cash related - but of course we don’t know (and don’t need to know) the ins and outs of any such decision.
In any case, it has been a privilege watching Joe play for Lewes and wish him all the best wherever he ends up.

So it was Ramsgate after all.
One small crumb of comfort is that he won't be scoring against us this season. Cup games excepted of course.

We accepted a bid from Ramsgate for Joe and he has signed for them today

Thought he would go up a level not down Wonder what the thinking is behind it Joe has close ties to Ramsgate - he’s played for them before and lives close by. There’s other factors which will remain between the club and player but worth remembering
