Jarvis may turn out to be a great player but he's not played above non-league level outside of the odd token sub appearance for us. We have no idea how close he is to being ready for first team action in the Championship. Realistically he's scored two tap-ins in pre-season so it's a real stretch to assume he would definitely have been in the first team picture purely on that evidence. If he never breaks into the first team he'll be far from the first to get this far and fail. Questioning whether our new signings might be 'even better' than him is frankly nuts.

At least he has scored from 'tap-ins' while others have missed easier chances

**** me,I'm shocked that he's left Trumpton after all these years..

With Gribble leaving,this just leaves Pugh,Pugh,Barney Mcgrew,Cuthbert and grub to fight fires.

There were only 13 Episodes of Trumpton, which originally aired between Jan to March 1967. It felt like there were about 100 when I watched them in in the 70s.

There were also 13 episodes each of Camberwick Green and Chigley, which in effect were like Series 2 and 3. I still struggle to know which characters were from which programme.

Things really went downhill in the early Eighties.

Social unrest and all...

You’re not wrong. But that game time came when Oldham were the worst run side in the country. When they were taken over he stopped playing when he was clearly good enough, my underlying point being the fact he was playing for Redcliffe before being a first teamer shows it shouldn’t matter what level Jarvis has played at. He’s stood out compared to other wingers still at the club, in the most important part of the game.

As I understand it NT... Jarvis football at his feet has never been in question...

It doesn't matter, except that I think people seem to be wanting to elevate him from promising but entirely unproven academy player to first team player, ahead of several more proven wingers, off the back of those two goals, and so I think it's worthwhile to remember that they were just simple, close-range finishes that he probably wouldn't even get in a real game.

It's off the back of an impressive pre-season, not off the back of two goals. He's more composed than Longman, he gets past his man better than Longman, he finishes better than Longman. Personally, for those reasons, I'd have him in the squad ahead of Longman.

Keane Lewis Potter was a promising unproven academy player. One who had just managed three starts in a poor loan in the National League North where he didn't score. He had no other league experience, he just looked ready so he got his chance, I think Jarvis was ready to make that step up.

Not that it really matters, he'll be back in November and hopefully in contention for us in January (dependent on who we sign in the next month).

There seems to be a lot of activity on the commercial side recently, with several sponsorships announced..
I’m guessing this won’t have an impact on FFP immediately will it?

Any kind of commercial deal is a bonus, but the ones recently announced will hardly make a dent

When dealing with local companies what is the benefit to the club if the financial aspects aren't significant? Is it more of a PR exercise or are there any specific advantages?

They obviously all add up and pay for something, but it's all about engagement locally, getting the local community involvement as high as possible, incremental spend etc... Obviously if we get to the prem, more companies will be willing to pay more. But the big link ups will come from acuns contacts abroad

As Howden said in terms of FFP they won't make much of a difference, small amounts of money compared to the amounts players are paid and transfer fees. However 2 or 3 of those partners probably cover the wage of the social media guy, another couple probably pay someone else's wage. It's a business so any money is good money.
