We held on a bit in the first half but had some great chances in the second. To score with virtually the last kick of the ...

Notts County

Made a few jokes in the last few years that Hitchin must be the only club to reach 100 points and not been champions let alone promoted.

Re: Tamworth / I wonder who wrote this !!!

One other thing I will add is Chris when Socks added post's I considered negative I reacted the same way. It's not as personal as you might think. And I did too Darren....and sometimes I even reacted to some of John TG's postings and he was one of my best friends! It's been a long learning curve fo...

Re: Tamworth / I wonder who wrote this !!!
