I’d like to see Howes stay as I’m a bit worried about Ashmore’s age. If Panter leaves then so be it. The biggest issue still is moving on at least one of the clowns in midfield, as they will also be sucking up a huge chunk of wages


I would say Howes, Marsh and Dieng are favourites to go ...

Whoever they go for and I hope the appointment is top notch for this level has to be in place....soon. It has been quiet since Ssturday, with the website promoting season tickets/club shop opening times is not what the majority want to read. An updste on the manager and players is what I and ...

That was shocking today. Worst than Solihull in a way, as we just didn't turn up. Missed passes, ball watching, no communication......embarrassing. Not sure any of them earned a place next season....and we need a captain, a leader.

No probs Len

If we're ambitious, we need to think big. A L2 mamagement team fits the bill

For me, if the club is ambitious, then the best team to manage this club going forward are the Cowley brothers. Proven track tecord at this level, got Lincoln City back into the league and have done well in the EFL since.
They would be my choice. A cheeky approach wouldn't hurt.

Would they be allowed in the NL with that ground?

The trains to Romford ob Greater Anglia are running Auntie Merge, so I will decline the offer. The only issue I have is whether to get the 248 bus or the old push n pull from Romford to Upminster (then walk).

Hello RayleighDagger3.
So....there's another out here.
Agree with you on Bradbury but he should have gone earlier. Thank god for Uddin n Co making a bold decisionsl. A good pre-season is needed and I hope a top coach for this level ill be in place. COYD

Okay I have since heard other things.

At least Ilford FC, when we’re in the Essex Senior League, will make a nice local derby in a year or two.


If we end up in the Essex Senior League as you suggest, perhaps we can then go back to being a Members Club because as I recall we didn't do too ...

Are the interviews that relevant?
For me just info on comings n goings is all I need.

Think we’ve signed some players but media guy is on holiday so no announcements until he returns. Cant the MD work a computer, guess someone from the Jurassic period of thinking would find that difficult.


The website posted the sad news of one of our life long supporters this week, so someone ...
