I happened across the match live on U-Tube. Nice surprise. I joined well it into the second half when we were already 2-0 up.
I thought we were good in parts – the number 3 on the left looked good and got forward well. We seemed weak at right back (assume the new signing was not on the field by the ...

Thanks Oxhead
No offence to Yeovil but.....Only Yeovil?? He was being touted as a League two (or even League One) prospect.
Still, will be nice to see him back at Viccy Road in 27/28.
Onwards and Upwards!

Hello all
Quick question – does anyone know what has happend to Joe Haigh? Did he leave? If so, where to?
Sorry if I am completely out of date but news travels very slowly down here.....
Onwards and Upwards!

The 1974 final was the last ever Amateur Cup final. (It became the FA Trophy the following year).
It was played between Ilford and Bishops Stortford (managed by a certain Ted Hardy esq) and Stortford won 4-1.

Going back to 1971 it was great to see the footage of the final (painful as it was to be ...

Quite agree, South Shields does seem like a long hike for a friendly.
However, I like to think that there might be some thought behind it.......Years ago I heard that John Still liked to organise a long distance pre-season friendly (Tiverton, Nailsea, Bromsgrove etc) just to remind the players what ...

Congrats Auntie
You sounded well made up by the award. Well done.
As for 6-0 wins - yes they really are great. However, six 1-0 wins in a row to start the season would be just as welcome.........
Onwards and upwards!!

According to the European Football Statistics website we had an average gate of 2000+ in each season from 2008 to 2012. In 2010/11 (the year in Div 1) the average gate was 2770.

I must get out more....

Thanks Auntie
Just watched this
V good. Real sense that the club can actually move forward.
Onwards and upwards!

Yes they were an exceptional team that was patiently built over time. Young, hungry players were nurtured, allowed to make mistakes and allowed to learn and improve. There was also some old experienced heads in key positions.

We can only hope that the new owners adopt a similar attitude to ...

Coming up from below will be Folkstone (plus A.N.Other) and Walton & Hersham (plus A.N.Other)

Can't wait...........

Well said Auntie

A dull game that neither side deserved to win (or lose for that matter).
According to the man on the tannoy, the first league meeting between D&R and Bath since 1996. How the mighty have fallen.
I was left with a series of questions;
Why do we keep playing the ball out of defence by passing it to ...

As a long suffering Exile, I very rarely get to see the Mighty D&R in the flesh.
Tomorrow, however, is different. The Sister-in-Law lives in Bath and Lady Snooty has suggested a trip out to NE Somerset to spread the joy. The excitement is palpable as the hours tick down........
Any thoughts or ...

Correction - the big event is on November 15 - my bad

I see that we have been drawn at home in the second round of the FA Trophy.
We play Tilbury on December 12.
They are currently 18th in Isthmian North.
I wonder how we will eff this one up?
