Hola Isthmian amigos.
Been a while since I posted in here. My return has absolutely nothing to do with beating Macclesfield 4-0 yesterday. Nothing at all.
Hayden Bird has certainly endeared himself to the K's faithful, after a slightly rocky start (still better than Dynan managed at least) we...
It's November & I'm posting in an FA Cup thread. What is this madness?
Macclesfield Town 0-4 Kingstonian
On paper that looks pretty impressive, slightly skewed result though as Macclesfield's first team was on strike so ultimately we beat their youth team (with a few senior players on loan to...
It's the 1FF Isthmian Classico tomorrow - Hornchurch v Kingstonian.
If I had to attribute a colour to how the start of the season has gone for us it would be grey. Not quite white, not quite black... 3 games, 3 ties & 3 points. Stark contrast to our east London opponents who have 2 wins & 1 tie...
0-0, 1-1 & now 3-3 in the first 3 league games. I'm usually a glass half empty kind of guy but I'm much more happier about the zero in the 'L' column than I am sad about the zero in the 'W' coloumn right now.
Ex K as well. We had him on loan for a period of time from (I think) Reading as a youth player around the mid 2000's. Frustrating to be held to a tie against 10 men, even being a goal down for the entirety of the first half, but I keep rewinding my mind 365 days & suddenly nothing Kingstonian...
WE DIDN'T LOSE!
I'll take the 0-0 tie with a team that's just been promoted in to the Isthmian Premier over the 3-2 defeat to start last season that saw is reduced to 9 men.
Wingate & Finchley away tomorrow for the K's in match day #2.
Can not wait for Saturday to indulge in my favourite pastime of having my blind optimism crushed. Hopefully we start the season off better than last time round... having a manager who has actually achieved something before coming to us means we're already on better ground. Not releasing a news...
23 Oct H Bognor Regis
16 Nov H Lewes
23 Nov H Horsham
7 Dec H Merstham
Out of those I'd suggest the Merstham game, could be a bit spicy given we've now got their manager & half their squad from last season.
To answer my own question...
https://www.betvictoristhmian.co.uk/betvictor-sponsors-the-isthmian-northern-premier-a-57695
BetVictor with the Step 3 & 4 monopoly sponsoring all three regions so I'd assume 'BetVictor Isthmian League' will be the full sponsored title so as not to get it confused...
I do like that away kit (if you remove the sponsor logo) but that home kit is an abomination that looks more like Burger King employee uniform than a football kit.
Seconded. Their fans are nothing but a class act too; I remember this one time (in band camp) where one of their fans couldn't help himself but run on to the field of play to tell our captain Francis Duku what a wonderful job he was doing.
Sometimes an incorrect kit is more valuable than the finished article. Theres a (comparatively) legendary K's shirt where the badge was incorrectly placed off centre a little bit which has gone down in Kingstonian folklore.
As lame as the article is... it has a sort of point (not the whole fascism part... I mean, fascism is bad & all but that's not what I'm referring too). Didn't FC United have to call themselves FC United 'of Manchester' because just calling themselves FC United as they originally intended was too...
