Re: R.I.P Pat Williams

Having been a friend, neighbour and fellow supporter for many years, this is a sad passing. Pat and Fred were avid supporters, both having ST and travelling to many away games. Their generosity and kindness left no boundaries and both were great company. They loved all sport and had many stories fro...

Re: Bye Trinity

Never bought into the $$$ invested by a group of guys who know FA about Non-league Football. No idea what they thought would happen, but here we are a few years and managers down the line and no better off on the pitch. The fans have suffered season after season and I fear it's going to get worse. A...

Re: Ashes to Ashes.....

I was never in favour of these owners. Just a desperate move by the club to keep going for a few years. I mean after Tamplin, anyone would seem credible. The yanks must have $$$ to burn. How can anyone buy a business and let the previous board stay on? How can they appear to manage from afar? What i...

Re: Is this the worst Dagenham and Redbridge team ever?

I've never bought into our American owners and was criticised on here for my original views. I still have no idea what they are doing as they must have $$$ to burn. The structure of the board reflects little or no knowledge of football, which has been reflected in the coaching staff and ultimately o...

Re: Not a great start

This comes as no surprise to anyone. This constant demise and so called under achievement over the last few seasons has 1 common denominator...The board. Nobody has a scooby about football, the owners must be using us as some sort of tax loss or just have $$$ to burn. DM had the budget but no idea h...

Re: Season over then

I only caught the 2nd half. Regardless of what side you put out, you expect players to try. Most were ambling around, few broke sweat. The goals were both horrendous and the response even worse. A decent turn out today but the players let the fans down which is unacceptable. Maybe if the owners got ...

Gateshead

If any of our fans have made the journey tonight, total respect and I hope the pies are good. It's been dreadful so far. 2 down to a team in the bottom 4 and that scoreline flatters us as it could be 5 by now. At least I have the option to turn this shite off.

Re: It's time now....

"but we're only 3 points off the play-offs" the owners are probably being told by DM and some members of the board. Accepting that financially, Notts C, Chesterfield and Hollywood Utd are in another league, look at Barnet, Woking and Boreham Wood. Fair play to them for doing well on their ...

Re: Wealdstone

Digger, youre spot on mate. We've had a succession of managers, each who have been two bob. Maybe we could have got the Cowleys years ago or Luke Garrard, but instead opted for Burnett who was shocking, PT who was so far up his own ass he could talk to his haemerroids and as for DM, just totally ine...

My apologies if this has been posted previously, but this is a most interesting documentary focusing on the funding distribution to NL clubs as a result of the Covid Pandemic.

Re: Gillingham FC FA Cup Replay Thursday 8th December 2022

Groundhog day. Cannot defend corners, conceding late goals and Manny was just awful. If McCallum is on the bench, why didn’t he come on? DM knows as much about football as the BBC presenters who claim that we’re in good form despite losing at home to the bottom team on Saturday and that we’re in the...

Re: Barnet (H) consternations here please

I've just watched the highlights. A win's a win, but the defending had me hiding behind the sofa where I bumped into Manny. 3 bread and butter goals conceded from crosses. I don't recall us winning any headers in the box which sounds a lot like last year. Has DM not learned anything from then? Going...

Re: Please post solicitudes about Yeovil Town (A) here during and post-fixture. And pre-fixture as well this time.

Rampant you're spot on mate. As I have stated many times before, I am staggered that a consortium has invested £££ into an overseas business that has failed for many years and not instilled its own appointed board. I accept that they've potentially saved us from oblivion, but what do the owners know...

Re: Wrexham (H) Thread

Just read Peter Freund's statement. How deluded is he or does he just have money to burn. It's a miracle we have an outside chance of the play offs today. I'll never criticise him for his investment, but FFS get a decent manager, get a board that know what they are doing. However as stated, next yea...
