That web page hurts my eyes!!!

It's because it's a mobile version. Just remove the "m." at the start, and it magically looks OK.

Well that's really going to hurt whenever he moves on!

First podtponement of the season?

To be fair, there has been over 50mm of rain in one day over large parts of Southern England. Why play a match now that will leave your pitch compromised for the whole season?

 

[Pliny Harris]

Ha, I only just realised. It's been fairly cloudy but T-shirt weather up here, and when it's like that I assume the skies are blue in the south. If pitches are becoming waterlogged in the southeast then by rule of thumb you can assume the trig point at Sca Fell is under water.

Nah, we had one called off due to goose poo earlier this week.

Oh dear Alfreton

 

[PaulHaddock]

Good lord

 

[DarkSithLord]

Yep pretty tinpot aint it?

Just a move by the club I think to increase revenue in the early season. Away support at this level is vastly different to the premier and ths has been mangifed by the fact we dont host either FC United or Stockport till the final month of the season!

May also help to bring in a few new fans.

Im really having a problem wih the sentence "One of the most good looking and professional cheerleading groups around. "

Just doesn't read right.

I noticed that too! Weird.

My season ticket for next season, or rather, a ticket to every home League game for next season:



To clarify, the envelope is ripped from me carrying it in my back pocket all day on Saturda

Old school tinpot Wealdstone tales. Personally I think this was brilliant (even if tinpot).

Expensive way of doing it with dates, times, opposition on?

 

[yellow]

I don't think so. That's how we've done ours this season, and it is a 'cost-cutting' measure.

 

[mnb089mnb]

It's how clubs used to do it back in the olden days. My Cardiff season ticket at Ninian Park used to be like that.

Best looking and most professional, maybe.

That does sound better.

No it gives you time to pratice the song for the new player that your team has bought

 

[JaredSUFC]

So far this summer Carshalton Athletic have had delays on their 3G pitch due to forgetting to put down underlay and a proper drainage system. Last night they had their big opening game against the local big club (Sutton United), and the floodlights failed.

 

[EnglishRed]

Is calling Sutton United a 'big club' tinpot?

 

[Master D]

Went to a local game last night and there was a guy announcing the subs etc with a megaphone as the PA system was broken.

No, but it doesn't mean anything. I remember one pre-season we outsung Brigg Town, Gainsborough and Boston all in the space of a week but when it came to the first day of the season we completely forgot all of our songs except for MARRRRIIIIINERRRRRS.

And the fans of the other teams may be experimenting with new songs and not really trying.......

 

[Southern Shayman]

Well half our floodlights went pop on Tuesday but we finished the game.

It appears that when the pitch was redone and drainage re-dug they have severed a cable.

If we have to rip up this beautiful new pitch to fix it then I'll probably cry.

 

[Sparrow]

We decided to do our squad photo the other day with all twelve players we've signed.

12 including Brian Saah, who hasn't even signed yet. Not even in our proper home kit either
