Re: Heard on the Grapevine........

When these rumours first surfaced around New Year, I'd imagined that they referred, not to the old MWB ground, but rather to the area to the west of the alley between Oldfield Rd and Upper Sunbury Rd, including the Hampton end of the disused Kempton Park straight. That would be away from a residenti...

Re: Those Were The Days; 3rd April 1961

I was at this game, still got the programme. Croydon were one of the stronger teams in that league at the time. Like you, Shep, I can remember that game, sheltering from the rain in the old wooden stand at Richmond Road. According to your programme, who was in goal for us on that day? We had two ke...

I can remember reading in late 2022 that the club's future was in doubt before the takeover happened.
The only mention of this that I can recall was made by the new management team! But then , to misquote Mandy Rice-Davies, "they would say that, wouldn't they?"

Re: Podcast with Stefano

I agree that the owners have made massive strides with the club since their takeover but why do they still find the need to disparage the state of the club beforehand. For example, to tell the Daily Mail that attendances have increased from 400 to 1,300 is simply not true. They have, in fact, increa...

Re: Podcast with Stefano

Sometimes I look at some of these fans who are objectively and factually slobs Not only is this a distasteful turn of phrase but it doesn't even make sense linguistically. To brand someone as a "slob" is a subjective comment about someone whose lifestyle you disagree with. There cannot be...

Re: Those Were The Days; 15th February 2000

This was the time when Graham Westley was owner and manager of Farnborough Town and, rather than adverts for local greengocers and ironmongers around the ground, he used to display "inspirational" and "motivational" slogans. It didn't end well! And, on another subject, there alwa...

Meanwhile, over in Suffolk, supporters of Wangford and Kersey FC are desperately hoping their club doesn’t get taken over by the Petruzzo empire.

Re: Chelmsford home on Saturday.

This game might well indicate where we are in this league in relation to playoff credentials. We have a lot of home games to play points from these is vital. Assuming that only Cheadle and Thomas are out, then Mel has plenty of options in team selection . There was no mention of Donaldson in Chris'...

Certainly no room for complacency. As well as the drubbing of Dorking, they’ve won away at 2 high-flying National North sides, 4-2 at Alfreton and 2-0 at Curzon Ashton.

Re: Club Colours
