41 from Halifax at Forest Green

151 Forest Green at Southend

I believe the Hawthorns is at a lofty 168m above mean sea level...The New Lawn, home to my team, came in second place at 163m when we were in the Football League...fingers crossed that it resumes that position next season. We were indeed members of the Conference/National League for seventeen...

604 York at Forest Green

Very happy with our start to the season, considering we didn't face anyone too challenging in pre-season, only one defeat in seven games...to an injury time goal after we had had a player sent off, to the team that many seem to fancy as potential champions. Last two games we have conceded a...

He let three goals in, but so did their keeper, the second of which was a really skilful lob.

A 3-3 draw for us, after being 2-0 down really early on, managed to recover to lead 3-2...then, typical Rovers, conceded an equaliser late on. Either way, given that we have our first four games away from home...as our pitch isn't quite ready...I'm happy to have a point on the board.

Some pretty respectable followings there, considering how far most of the away fans had to travel...OK, so it was the first day of a new season and still the summer holidays, but decent nonetheless.

Been there before, Hummel didn't deliver our kits in time for the first game of the season...in fact they never delivered and the club ordered replacements from Player Layer...we ended up getting a kit from a local sports shop and having them couriered up to Grimsby in time for kick-off.

First pre-season friendly for us this evening, against Slimbridge, one of four games arranged away to teams fairly local to us. Not sure what to expect, they can be pretty one sided affairs, we will probably field completely different line-ups in each half. Main priority is to get the players...

It looks like we might be starting the season with a run of away fixtures, if the league are in agreement, our pitch is still a building site with not a blade of grass anywhere near being ready to play football on.

...didn't fancy 606 with Chris Sutton!

Ollie Pearce has signed for York City. He was their fourth signing of the day, joining goalkeeper Harrison Male (ex-Dorking, previously Worthing), defender Joe Felix (ex-Worthing) and winger Ashley Nathaniel-George (ex-Maidenhead). The manager of York was previously at Worthing, seems like he...

Rumours that we might be trying to sign Ollie Pearce from Worthing, who apparently scored goals for fun last season in their run to the play-off final.

Within minutes of my post above it was confirmed by our club that we have signed Liam Sercombe and Sean Long, both of whom had been released by Cheltenham.

One or two teams have started signing players already, largely free agents after the big release at the end of last season, but I wouldn't expect things to really get going until maybe early June...but that is in just over a week. Has your club already started building a squad for next season...

Not too sure what to expect from next season, our first back in the National League after seven away, it was pretty competitive when we left but if I'm honest I haven't a clue who will present the biggest challenge to our attempt to avoid a third relegation in a row. I gather that Southend may...

Not sure what to expect today, the executioner has swung his axe and the fat lady has departed for her summer holidays...will our players bother to show up, will the South Stand invade the pitch and force an abandonment of the game (which would be a new end to a game for me, having already seen...

I can't remember that game...will have to check whether I was in attendance...although, there may be a good reason if absolutely nothing happened.

That has a certain Germany v Austria feel to it!
