Hi all, I'm now looking after comms for the Bostik Football League. I'm not going to spam the forum with lots of stuff, but I will post the odd story I think you might find interesting, and was wondering if there is anyone you'd recommend as a subject for my Friday interview series? Here's the...
It's a completely stupid idea.
So, a team gets temporarily reduced to ten. They shut up shop. That'll be entertaining, won't it?
If they want to clamp down on dissent, make the bloody fines bigger. Make a dissent yellow card worth double the disciplinary value. Sin bins will not work in football.
Bognor Regis Town overcome their play-off jitters & despatch Dulwich Hamlet, to a soundtrack by Nearly-Nik Kershaw...http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/steps-3-6/rocks-rock-hamlet-and-halt-hoodoo/
I was going to post this on the ground hopping thread but then decided otherwise! Haywards Heath Town won promotion to Ryman (or whatever it will be called) South next season, or perhaps they didn't. Suspended player controversy...

A Cue for a Casuals Conga- Corinthian Casuals secure a play off place. And a man smokes CB Fry's old socks.
Lewes, Corinthian Casuals, semi-nakedness, and a drunken man waving his Luigi in the air.
No, that isn't a euphemism.
A few words, but mainly pictures, especially for those who read The Sun... :wink:

Jake is a fabulous player and will score goals. But the 'Billericay experiment' frightens me half to death.
Mind you, Jake was at Whitehawk before Hemel, he'll be used to playing football in cloud cuckoo land.
Yes. Horsham YMCA are in the SCFL Premier, one step below Horsham FC. Both teams currently share YM's ground, Gorings Mead, but that arrangement comes to an end this season.
The story is rather convoluted. They sold the ground for housing and bought another plot, on the understanding that the council would allow them to build there. Then the council said no. And have kept saying no to everything for years, for generally erroneous reasons (at one point it was even...
There will certainly be a feel-good factor about the place, and the new ground will be a community asset which will generate extra income. There's no reason why it shouldn't be a catalyst for success.
Horsham FC have just had their ground application approved by the District Council. Seems their time as wandering nomads will be over in a couple of years. Delighted for them.
Rocking all over The Oak...http://www.townsendaround.co.uk/steps-3-6/rocking-all-over-the-oak/ Mile Oak, Little Common and a collection of semi-naked butlers in SCFL Division One.
A little something from the Haven Centre, home of Crawley Down Gatwick, where Haywards Heath Town managed to hold out and hold on to Shoreham's coat-tails in the Southern Combination Football League.
With a Crawley Max Boyce, Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It, and a canine pitch invasion...
