Re: St Albans Away

What a total shambles from St Albans. Announced this morning that there was no need for an inspection then decide to hold one at 12:45 and announced postponement at 13:23 when fans would already have travelled. I got as far as the M4 before turning back.

Re: The Run In & Play Off Prospects

The bottom line this team are solid and difficult to beat but are not good enough to get promoted. A good question to ask is who is good enough to comfortably play National League. For me Fernandez, Dubois and perhaps Seymour in the right sort of team. Quite a few others would be fringe eg Gray, In...

Free entry for everyone and free beer. That should do it.

Re: The Run In & Play Off Prtospects

If we dont go up Tony. It will be tough to go up next season if Woking Dorking and Oxford come down this season. Agree. I made the point elsewhere on the forum, every season we are going to be competing against two or three “big” sides dropping out of the NL. If our owners’ ambition is to get to EF...

Football Web Pages predicted final table has us 5th with 77 points but the last four play...

Re: Havant Reduced Admissions?

Looked more than 399 to me. I wonder how many took advantage of the discount.

Re: Havant here on Tuesday.

We did create more chances than previous games but Havant had their moments with Debois making three top class saves. Might have been a different outcome if that early header had gone in. But overall much better than Saturday.

Re: Havant here on Tuesday.

Biggest mystery of the season why H&W are still struggling despite the squad which should be at the other end of the table. Not a slam dunk but opposition only won once in last six.

Re: Clubs in Crisis

The good thing about us was that there was no debt so much easier (in theory) to put together a rescue package even if that meant having to reduce outgoings significantly. Had there been no chance of any new investment then I am sure the club would have come up with a Plan B albeit not one that anyo...

Re: Farnborough Home Saturday.

Fair result in the end but clearly disappointing to concede after 92 mins when Debois spilled a shot at the feet of Ghandhour who punished the error. Earlier Debois was the hero saving Kuhl’s early penalty after a tackle by Inman that looked to have won the ball. The penalty was a poor one straight ...
