Re: The Egyptian

The intervention of this guy strikes me as being even more bizarre than Mr Tamplin's involvement. At least Mr Tamplin was born in the area and lived nearby. Ironically, with I would guess relegation being 90% likely, an injection of cash from this bloke might be about the only lifeline for a speedy ...

Re: Sutton

This season we have dropped 17 points in games because of the opposition scoring in the 80th minute or later.

Re: Has he gone yet?

Any chance of a "club statement" from Roots Hall?

Re: Has he gone yet?

Well I suppose there is an obvious candidate to come in to the end of the season but he has a role at Southend. At the time that Mr Strevens was sacked I wondered if Mr Still coming in to help him may have been a better option but that makes Mr King redundant. I can't be bothered to do the research ...

Re: Must be nailed on now

Keep on conceding in injury time. That's happened against Barnet, York, Forest Green, Eastleigh and Southend. The points dropped in injury time get us into mid table safety.
Are this mob fit enough to play 90 minutes? Doesn't seem like it to me.

Re: Away Pub for Halifax

Shayman is spot on about the Three Pigeons. A smashing pub, which I've used pre football and rugby league. Some of the pitch problems are as a result of the football and rugby league clubs using the pitch. The Shay is owned by the council. Huddersfield rugby league want to step in too!

Re: Afc Wimbledon away FA Cup 2nd round

I go to Plough Lane for London Broncos rugby league. I was going to go to this one but would get home about midnight so will watch on TV. Options are : Go to Farringdon and get the half hourly Thameslink service to Haydon Road, which is about a 10 minute walk from the ground. Get the Northern Line t...

Re: Play Offs

Maybe if you played the south, north and National League finals on the same day Wembley might make sense?

Correct Mr Appsville. The fixture list hasn't been updated. The Chesterfield game is still listed for 6 January too.

Re: NL: Ebbsfleet United (A) 28 October 2023

For a variety of reasons I haven't managed to get along this season. Things seem to be going pretty much as I thought when it started. We've got just about enough quality to keep out of real trouble but not enough firepower to trouble the play off chasing sides on a regular basis. From what I heard ...

Re: FA Cup: Bracknell Town (A) 14 October 2023

I can see Strevs sacked too. As I have said in another post before, apparently he is on a very low “normal person” base salary with a lot of bonus clauses. It’s actually smart business for once because it means if we needed to sack him we could do it cheaply. BUT the age old question is who do we b...

Re: The Youth

As well as Daggers I follow AFC Sudbury, southern league central. They have run an academy for some time. https://www.afcsudbury.co.uk/a/afc-academy-59765.html

If a lower league team in South Suffolk can do this why can't Dagenham? Note the impressive Stokes of Aldershot was there

Re: NL: AFC Flyde (H) 2 September

ULEZ and the train issue did for me. Can't get to the next few because of a couple of family gatherings and clashes with Essex cricket for a Tuesday game. I think putting up walk up prices is counter productive too. If the cricket I'm going to gets rained off I'm not inclined to pay £19 .

Re: ULEZ Charges

Got a similar letter to Sussex. As I expected it knocks out games when there isn't a rail service (Boxing Day for a start). It won't help gates.

Re: Justham Off to Southend?

Good shot stopper and one of the few players in our squad who are promotion standard. As for Southend, I believe their keeper went elsewhere a few days ago. Also (and this may or may not be relevant to the football club) work has stopped on the housing development at their new site. The contractor h...
