Goodbye for now Lee Randall!!!

[Clifty]

I'm disappointed to report that at work today i heard a rumour that Lee had signed for Cinderford Town next season. I immediately emailed him to ask him, and his response is below.....

How are you mate I hope you and all the rest of the supporters are well.

Yes mate have decided to attend pre season at Cinderford with view to
playing more next season. To be honest with you mate I am 29 and the only
way I will get to where I want to be is to play whether it is at cinderford
or any other local club. Even though I hardly played over the last two
seasons I enjoyed them probably more than any other in my career and i have
had a few clubs and a lot of seasons. The Gloucester supporters are a
special group of people who in my view are among the best I have come
across in the league and non leagues. I am also sure that with Tim at the
helm the group of players you have and the new signings that the club has
made the T END is going to be in for some great times ahead. I would like
you to thank all the supporters for me which I will do for myself when I
see them again. A Big thanks to Drakey for the sponsorship last season he
is top man tell him to keep banging the drum it does make a difference.
Through tough times over the last season we still managed to smile and have
a laugh which is what I am about but believe it or not I can actually play
.ha-ha.You never know clifty I might return in the future for one final
randall dance.

Let the good times roll for the city crew


I think that you will all join me in wishing Lee all the best at Cinderford next season! He is a cracking bloke, and maybe now i will make the effort to go to Cinderford if we don't have a game! Best of luck mate!!!:thumbsup::notworthy::thumbsup:

Best of luck Rands, i'm sure this is not the end of your association with City.

[Matt]

Yeah mate - you are a true City legend and will always be welcome at Meadow Park.

[spandau_wirral]

All the best to Lee, wonder if the Cinderford fans can get down and do the Randall?

[Neil]

Good luck Lee - did you know that the initiation ceremony at the Causeway involves Bears? ;)

[Joe]

Good luck to a top bloke and a true cult hero. I hope you get the chance to prove yourself you deserve at Cinderford.

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Best of luck Lee, football needs colourful characters like you. With some regular football I'm sure you'll show people what you can do.

Darkey - take note about the drum!

[rio]

Best of luck Lee, a legend, we'd love you to stay but know you've got to go

Poor Drakey, the guy'll be in bits, but perhaps it was on-the-cards after he replaced his avatar photo of Lee with a picture of his dog

[DRAKEY]

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

REALALLY CRYING............:notworthy:


MIGHT HAVE TO POP TO CINDERFORD THEN TO SHOW THE LADS HOW TO DO THE RANDELL.........

ALL THE BEST LEE :thumbsup:

[ItmustbeCity]

Best of luck Lee and I hope it all works out Cinderford :thumbsup:

Certainly is a reason to pop down there if City don't have a game next season

[Pablo]

Best of luck at Cinderford Lee, you are a true City legend, hope to see you at MP again someday!

[darrenb]

Good luck at Cinderford Lee - hope we will see you score a goal up the T-end in the future :thumbsup:

[weston branch]

All the best Lee - you will be missed

[Noah]

As pleasant, cheerful and engaging a player as ever laced his boots for Gloucester City. A man of the people !

[city supporter]

Good Luck Lee, will miss your Happy Smiling Face........when Cinders are not playing you'll always be welcome at MP. [guess we may see you quite a bit then if this weather continues ;)]

[forester123]

Is he any good? what position does he play?

[Neil]

He plays wherever he can get a game but whenever he did play for City it seemed to be up front or in midfield. His set pieces are worth his place in the team though..

[Woody]

Is he any good?

The man's a legend!

[Clifty]

Quality!!!

Couldn't agree more. Hard to remember a player who's made so much of an impact with the fans, especially having had a fairly limited impact on the pitch.

Hope he does well in the twigs, and although a shame for him to go hopefully he'll get a chance to play more often. Even more importantly I hope he's on the T-End when the Causeway is boggy - so most of October through to February....
