Having said that, the semi-final win over Notts County was actually a greater achievement on a one-off match basis. But it wasn't the final, it wasn't at Wembley, and there were no fans there... And I don't have a full recording of the match which I intend watching at least once a week for the...

"arguably"?! Well I've been going since 1974, and let me tell you - there's no argument! We are all very happy. And as I never thought I'd live to see this day, I can also die happy. Hopefully not for a while mind! UP THE URCHINS.

Just another day at the office for the little old Urchins! Actually I'm in a total state of shock, but thanks for the positive comments Notts fans.

No - they voted to carry on. (Possibly because they knew they were in the Trophy final but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt). Just seen this (I'm an occasional visitor). Yes the streaming cash will be very helpful as the chairman and a few others are currently keeping the players topped...

And while I'm here - is there a moderator or similar all-poweful individual who can change the thread title to say "FA Trophy 2019/20 AND 20/21"? I think that would be a major benefit for us all.

OK Mr Pedant! :) But it's pretty close and I'm sure we all see Sudbury as a sub-domain of Wembley. It's all HA0 innit? Plus we have to drive through Wembley itself to get there - so I'm claiming it. Bit like us really. We technically play just over the border in Upminster - which is...

Huh! Typical! We'd have quite liked Notts County away in an earlier round - The Barcelona of Non League and all that. But now we can actually sniff Wembley, maybe Notts-so keen! Still, we are the little guy playing battleships - and winning... We've sunk a load of cruisers so far and one...

Now hang on a minute. There's at least 220 of us!

I understand that we (Hornchurch) have periodically looked at changing back to Hornchurch & Upminster (the pre-1960 name). It would make some sense as the ground is just into Upminster* and a lot of the support (no jokes please) comes from there rather than Hornchurch or the wider area. But...

Tell you what - I'll write to the FA and propose a swap. You can come to us and Carshalton can play Sutton - that's always a tasty one.

Well that went well. Carshalton or Aveley at home. Basically one team from the same division and the other one is literally 5 miles down the road. We only play them like 5 times a season - or so it seems. Hey ho at least we have a chance of a bigger fish in the Last 16 (there's misplaced...

For us teams at step 3 (or even 4) it's great. An opportunity to meet and possibly beat some bigger teams. And a very outside chance of a once in a lifetime trip to Wemberley. So don't knock it. One of our best away days in recent years was up at Grimsby - for whom it was a routine win and long...

BOOOOOOMMMM! Where's the Pink Panther when you need him?

Hang on - there appears to be an FAT thread. I'll troll him/her on that.

Where's Pink Panther when you need him?

Happy New Year y'all. The cricket season is not technically over, but I guess it's time to morph over to the winter stuff. Though I'm sure you're all rootin' Tootin' for an Essex County Championship win. Again. Anyway I checked into the BVILPD (?) results to date. And lordy, what a...

I have finally found my password. And my main concern, rather incestuously, is WHEN are you going to sort out your 2014 era emblem Riverside? Meanwhile I am quite happy with the new look Thurrockchurch team. We have retained the better Urchins skill-wise, and added some never-say-die mentality...

Yes - we are very happy about this. Our financially doped years only lasted 2 years, but have been a real millstone around our standing with other clubs ever since. So it would be great to get back to more honest times (which are very much embraced by the post 2008 setup). Many (including me)...

Well. We're in the FAC 3rd Qual after scraping past East Grinstead. And bathing in a luxurious bath of 900 ten pound notes. I don't normally buy the Non League Paper (who does?) but on days like today it seemed a good idea so that I could browse the possible options over a leisurely Sunday...

Not that you can actually put a bet on yet - I just tried putting a tenner on Kingstonian (there's loyalty for you) but Betway are not taking them yet. I suspect they will adjust the odds after a coupe of games then open the market.
