Re: Prediction - TELFORD

If we keep playing like this we might end up with overly zealous stewarding on a regular basis! For Telford, who are having to adapt to their first ever season at Step 3, it was normal stewarding - all they have ever known at Steps 1 and 2. For you, and Hitchin, it was "overly zealous". Y...

Programmes Donations Wanted

Well I've learned over the years that if you don't ask....... Since the new Club Shop opened in September 2021, we have amazingly sold over 4800 programmes from all that we had and all that has been donated. In addition to this, I reckon I have sold over 1000 online as well to raise money for the Cl...

Re: Todays game

Completely agree from despair to elation! To give Mark credit he made the change at half time that made all the difference. At long last we had a striker to occupy the defenders and create more space for Fin. That's exactly how I saw it! At half time, if I'd have been a bookie I'd have given you sh...

Every game is a potential banana skin :big_grin: :big_grin:

Ship Lane Purfleet/Thurrock

Ship Lane, home to Thurrock FC from their formation (as Purfleet) in 1985 until their dissolution in 2018. Amazingly, after 5 years, the nets are still hanging on the goalposts, though the pitch needs a bit of work before a ball can be kicked into them again. It is possible that Grays Athletic will ...

Re: FA Cup 1st Qualifying round

What a disappointing tie. Home, potential banana skin, and not enough letters to get that lot on the fixture board!

Re: Jobsworth 1 Villager 0

One that springs to mind for me was a League Cup tie at Kings Lynn. Eight of us behind the goal (2 of which were seasoned hooligans John TG and Frank King). 25 and I mean 25 stewards to look after us. We all had our own personal steward called Les. Well, we had Les 1, Les 2 and Les 3 each!! Second h...
