Saturday 9/1/16 Match Thread

[GuiseleySteve]

Just need to find a win, it's been over a month and a half now.

Don't rely on us

 

[appletablepenny]

First home league game since 21st November. No one of the best non-league wingers ever, and no Reeves

Pitch inspection at 0800 tomorrow.

Don't rely on us

You're by far the weakest team we're playing this month, so I fully expect us to put you to the sword at the bare minimum. Something tells me our wait will be over on Saturday at 5pm though.

 

[Luke Imp]

Torquay vs Braintree off apparently.

I see they've spread their little rainman curse to the South of Devon then.

 

[yellow]

Bloody Braintree, bringing the rain wherever they go.

Saying that, hopefully means we'll have a couple more players when Tuesday rolls around.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Braintree's games in hand is going to be ridiculous. I get the joys of experiencing Dulwich Hamlet v Enfield Town. Heard a lot about their fans.

 

[Sparrow]

Haha. Danny Cowley was complaining about playing 48 hours after an FA Cup tie earlier in the season - well enjoy playing Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday during March and April. Tinpotters.

Will probably try and play it indoors.

Will still be postponed though, as either the roof will leak or the toilets will flood the building.

Swindon Supermarine?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Swindon Supermarine?

Shaw Lane AquaForce?

Swindon Supermarine?

More like Swindon Submarine.

Meh, so Eastleigh's biggest game is home to Bolton. Know your true enemy, my fellow fancy Dans. Boreham Wood's biggest attendance came in a friendly against Arsenal. Having read my fair share of regional league programmes, I've found the ultimate mark of a tinpot is when their biggest game was just a £3-in casual mid-July hootenanny for the village's local glory supporters.

Here's my very optimistic prediction for us against Macclesfield, in the form of fennecs:

 

[Pliny Harris]

The weather's mucking fiserable today. How's it over in Macc this morning?

 

[appletablepenny]

Altrincham v Gateshead FUCK OFF

 

[Pliny Harris]

Any Alty fans left high and dry feel free to join the travelling Shaymen at Macclesfield so we can give the big one over away followings again.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Our game is on and there is no pitch inspection planned, which is what you would expect I guess. Safe journey down to any Chester fans who are coming to the game.

I'm half tempted to go to Stockport / Telford instead, just to get out of the house. I can't listen to that Macc announcer all afternoon.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Stockport and Teflon combined must have the most depressed fanbases in England. I hope Peniket does well for the latter, anyway.

 

[Greenacres]

No pitch inspection at Guiseley, but the referee will arrive at midday just in case. That is a fat lot of good for anyone making the trek up from Gloucestershire, many of whom will have left home after breakfast.

 

[EnglishRed]

Match referee has passed pitch as fit to play. More rain forecast later but sunny in Wrexham atm.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

So the pitch is fine at the time that statement is issued. If it wasn't there would have been an inspection planned for early this morning.
Short of a crystal weather ball what more would make you happy?

Well lets hope if ChrisFGR is travelling that it does not get called off then, as an angry ChrisFGR is not someone to be messed with......

Remember, he's not GTFC1979.

Other than the blindingly obvious of a win for my team this afternoon...a bacon butty (definitely non-vegan) a cuppa with real cow's milk and a victory for the Chairboys against the Villains on the telly this lunchtime.

No problem I'll have my bodyguard with me

What if ChrisFGR's mystery job is a lion tamer?
