Re: Peter Russell

Hi Rupe, sorry only just seen this, I'm even later than Andi. I've missed your dad with his understated banter during the games. I still remember when he did his version of oooooooOOOO when the keeper was taking a goal kick & instead of " you're sh*t ahhhhh" he ended it with "watc...

Re: Cup Draw

We'll find out what we're up against just 4 days before when we visit Kettering in the league. Our record against them has not been good, even in the season when they were in a right mess & could only field 10 players at home to Banbury 1st game of the season, losing 9-0. By the time they came t...

Teams we are likely to face in the league next season

With the promotion & relegation now sorted we have a pretty good idea who will be joining us next season. Coming up from the Southern League div 1 central are Berko & Didcot. I assume this to be a given. However the 2 other teams coming up & the 2 teams coming down from the National Leag...

Re: Well Done Barton and Stotfold!

I see that Stotfold's play off was one of 2 involving the Northern Premier League div 1 Midland 2 teams who finished 3rd & 4th from bottom of the NPL playing 2 teams from the league below who just missed out on automatic promotion, Stotfold winning 2-0 at NPL's Dereham. The other play off saw th...

Top Field Crucible

Who needs a plastic pitch. Certainly not us. The Top Field pitch looked immaculate yesterday, almost as smooth as the tables at the Crucible & it was the last game of a busy season. Baring a very small patch in each goal mouth it could've been the 1st game of the season so huge congratulations t...

Re: Steven Graham

Oh yeah just read Admin's post, don't know how I missed it 🙄, & their bloke did miss with the 120th min penalty, dragging it wide of the post to Steve's right. If I now recall it was a good 2ft wide. You know when it's your night & it certainly was Steve's.

Re: Steven Graham

You are absolutely correct Darren, he did concede the penalty in the last minute at Saffron Walden & we all thought that's us out of the cup, but then a great save to take it to penalties where he was at it again. That was his night. Oddly enough I was only talking to Guy at the St Ives game on ...

Re: Alternative Report by Stour Grapes

A great spectacle for the neutral in the 2nd half. I thought their keeper was a bit of a pane all game constantly complaining to the ref who saw through him & gave him a frosted reception &, despite his gob-let the game flow. The Stourbridge defense was a jar when Daniel Idiekhoa weaved his ...

Southern League table

I've put this thread in the HTFC section as it affects us. What is going on with the people responsible for loading the results info into the league table? A couple of weeks our game against Rushden & D was the only fixture on the Monday which, as we know, we won 2-1 but it was loaded as a 1-1 d...

BARWELL OFF!!!!

No it's not an instruction to someone who's annoying. This afternoon's game of course is off which, no doubt, isn't a surprise to most people. It's bloody freezing 🐧❄☃️ up here in Cambs. I, for one, am delighted as, on a purely personal level, I would have missed the game, not only due to it being t...
