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...

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 ...

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...

Re: Dan Webb's Testimonial Game

Echo what Brian says - a great afternoon enjoyed by a lot of people. The 863 attendance was more than most of us expected, except Roy who expects 1000 for every game now!!! :lol: :lol: Record takings in the Club Shop for a match and when I think how I used to toil and almost have to threaten to extr...

Re: Prediction Game 2023-24

Just to mention. Where the form says PRINT NAME please put your funny name and you own name. Funny name is optional. I was going to put my funny name as "There is no P in Berkhamstead" but thought that's a bit of a bugger to keep having to type! :lol: :lol: Not like posh Hampstead in Lond...
