Haha, one of us is here and I'm sure Lurchin will join in.
Happy with that draw. Having disposed of 2 National South teams (Tonbridge and Dulwich) in the last 2 rounds we'll fancy our chances.
The Isthmian League were all belt and braces, and double knickers when we could play so I don't...
Overcame Brentwood Town 4-2 in the Essex Senior Cup on Tuesday and will now play Chelmsford City in the 4th Round. That's the 3rd season in a row we have drawn the Clarets and they've knocked us out in the last 2.
The accreditation process the league are planning to introduce for photographers is absolutely fine in my view - there's nothing wrong in having a bit of structure re who is allowed to take pitchside photographs at Isthmian grounds.
The ownership stuff however is shocking and it's good to see...
Happy with the 2-1 win at Merstham. But for 3 excellent saves we'd have gone 2-0 down and then probably game over but we hung in and managed to nick a couple to win it. Next 3 games are Margate (h), Worthing (a) and then Kingstonian (h) so we'll have a much better idea after those where we're...
Right, so that's our pre-season done and dusted.
8 games
3 wins, all against teams 1 level below - Grays Athletic (2-1); Great Wakering Rovers (4-0) and Hullbridge Sports (3-1)
1 draw, against Dagenham & Redbridge (2-2)
4 defeats, Leyton Orient (0-1), Chelmsford City (0-2), Billericay Town...
I'm surprised clubs would do that anyway as the sponsors often change their logo from one season to the next.
The Bostik logo on shirts from 2017/18 was different to the Bostik logo on last season's shirt.
According to the Isthmian site the league will have new sponsors for next season, replacing Bostik.
To quote "The big news is that the League will have new sponsors for the start of next season. We’d like to sincerely thank Bostik for their support over the last two years, which has been...
That would make sense though I never understand how all this works.
With Gateshead going then in the National league I guess the option is to either reprieve 4th bottom Aldershot or promote an extra side from step 2 which would be Spennymoor on the grounds they were the best play-off losing...
By my calcs ...
5 sides are coming into the Bostik Prem next season: East Thurrock Utd, Bowers & Pitsea, Cray Wanderers, Horsham and Cheshunt
4 are definitely leaving: Dorking, Whitehawk, Burgess Hill Town and Harlow Town. Plus possibly Tonbridge.
If Tonbridge win their super play-off then...
I'll be building a new Hornchurch website for next season given our name change back to Hornchurch FC and thought I'd look around the National leagues for inspiration. Some good ones, too many Pitchero ones for my liking, but a few broken links that need updating:
South
Bath City should be...
Not just 4 defeats - but 3 of them against the bottom 3 and the other against Regent whose victory against the K's was their only win in the last 7.
You've really done us no favours losing to all these teams at the bottom - and that also includes Potters Bar and Whitehawk just before the new...
Yes, we were there earlier this season. Nice facilities, good parking and very family friendly - saw lots of dads bringing their younglings which was nice to see. Food/drink etc was a bit pricey but then again it's in Surrey and as Dorking are paying to hire the pitch it's understandable.
The...
His football is definitely easier on the eye but he hasn't made us any harder to beat. Whilst we are creating more scoring opportunities his league record still isn't great - P13, W3, D4, L6 - with the 3 games we've won being at Harlow and home to Burgess Hill and Corinthian-Casuals - 3...
Yeah, you've let us down too recently losing to the sides in and around us at the bottom - namely Whitehawk and Potters Bar.
Fuck knows what's happening at our pad though - we've just signed our 8th ex-Thurrock player, the 6th by our newly appointed ex-Thurrock manager. It's really starting to...
Happy with a 3-0 over Leatherhead though given their on and off field problems pre-season I doubt we'll read too much into the win. According to Bull (keeper/manager) on interview they had 12 players making their debut. They'll get stronger so glad we played them early doors.
Good start for...
He does. In the same way that Sappleton loves scoring against us - he scored in last season's friendlies when playing for the K's and scored both Cheshunt's goals this season.
Really looking forward to the start on Saturday - should be a decent game home to Leatherhead and a reasonable gauge as to where we are at.
Like K's it's been a confusing pre-season:
Hullbridge Sports (2 levels below) 1-0
Concord Rangers (1 level above) 2-0
Cheshunt (1 level below) 0-2...
