Re: 25 years next week since Wembley 1996
Oh and those annoying shouts of "Green Army" all night in the centre of London, even after midnight. They got everywhere but I was too pissed to care!

Re: 25 years next week since Wembley 1996
We wandered down an empty Wembley Way about 10 minutes after kick off as we hadn't realised how long it took to get to Wembley from the boozer in Central London on the tube. Couldn't understand what all the hype was about the atmosphere on Wembley Way until I returned later in the summer for the Eng...

Re: Season at risk of finishing early
It's been mentioned here a few times but what happens if Option 2 happens and then a team leaves the NL structure (promotion or relegation)? How is the NL "grant" then repaid or is it repaid by the teams in the NL structure each year. You can see, if the "grant" is only repaid by withholding of the ...

Re: Osagi Bascome and Justin Donawa

Re: English cricket.
If England turn round the Ashes after this then I think Botham's Summer of 1981 may be eclipsed by Stokes's Summer of 2019, when you take in the WC performances as well, as you can't imagine this England side coming out of the last 2 tests either 1-0 or 2-0 without Stokes getting involved again at s...

Re: English cricket.
Beefy and Ben are so similar in their attitudes. Throw them the ball to get you a wicket, place them anywhere in the field and they'll take a catch that most wouldn't get near to, send them out to bat against bowlers with their tails up and they won't take a backwards step. How long before we can cl...

Re: Darlington away vs Bishop Auckland
Bit out of order there. English is obviously not his first language and it was clear enough what he was asking.
If you couldn't work out what he was asking
How many do you think we'll take to Bishop?
Do you think we'll win?
What do you think the line up will be?

Re: Blyth statement

It sounds as if DFC have done nothing wrong, we've advertised, interviewed and offered the role of manager. Whether we choose to smooth the way for AA by offering Blyth something to cover anyth...

Re: What's next

Re: Relieved we're not getting promoted !
I think the problem is that Promotion comes with an expectation of increased budgets and 'better' players. If we are prepared to accept that this group of players would be representing us in the league above then fine. If the promotion brings demands for a larger playing budget while we try to brin...

Re: Appeal
Are we banned from the play-offs or not able to take promotion if we won the play-offs? If we had finished top of the league then I assume we would still be Champions just not able to accept promotion. Why would that be any different with the play-off? Play the matches with the resultant income then...

Re: replicating feethams?
I always find these threads amusing. I would imagine that as we are only tenants not owners of BM then any changes to the ground would need to be agreed with the owners of BM.

Yes, still used in Scotland.
