Re: Letchworth Model Railway Society Exhibition 22July 2023

Letchworth Model Railway Society Exhibition 22 July 2023 at the Priory School in Hitchin 10:00 - 4:30pm. Appreciate this will be of interest to some and not to others but model trains in the morning and footie in the afternoon sounds like a nice day for me! https://www.letchworthmrs.org.uk/index.ph...

Goal of the season

Bit late but does not seem to be a thing that get's talked about.

Fav/best goal from last season?

Re: Callum Stead

I see Trey Charles has just signed for Stamford. One of our new opponents. Blimey he's had almost as many clubs as Jefferson Louis :lol: :lol: That said, he was top scorer at St.Neots last season with 20+ goals and their player of the season. 20+ goals for a relegated team? Hope we took a look!

Re: Am I an optimist

It's the Burkey way when you think about it. The 2016/17 team came good in Burkey's 5th year as manager? He seems to have a nack of developing talent.

The rebuild that came from that success took the same time I can see next season being a rather good one.

Re: Luton Town

Also at Wembley on Saturday fortunate enough to be given a ticket by a good friend.

Brilliant day with the weather perfect. Still cant believe what I saw and just hope next season does not prove embarrassing.

Re: Our Home Grown Match Reporters

I couldn't separate any of them all have there own way with words. All excellent. Pipeman very unique which I like. I believe Barry Swain used to do some reports? He was also very good with words. We have been very lucky with match reporters last 30 years or so. I have almost all of the newspaper r...

Re: Our Home Grown Match Reporters

There's been so many match reporters over the years,too many to mention,and connected to the two main local newspapers at the time, The Hertfordshire Express and The Pictorial, now only The Comet is still running.

Re: Financial fair play

Even if wage caps were introduced to non league it would never stop the brown envelopes being handed out with the cash in! I’m sure HMRC would open a hornets nest if they descended unannounced on semi pro clubs. Certainly cant disagree with your point there Steve. I like Becca's idea but cant see t...
