Re: Newton Aycliffe v Darlington Tuesday July 5th.

Thought Rivers and Mondal were very bright, Lambert played some lovely thru balls and Hazel got straight on the scoresheet plus no injuries, but have to remember Aycliffe had a couple of 15 year olds on the pitch and a few new recruits from Crook town who played well and assisted the goals with Tayl...

Re: Mutterings From The Monkey Hangers

no difference to some on here , they realise Raj is not going to flash the cash, they have a decent budget from a couple of cup runs and until a new buyer comes in and pays Raj off or he gets ownership of ground on the cheap it will be run like one of his care homes.

Re: BTB - It's back

Well done everyone I thought in present economic climate £100k would be a satisfactory target and give AA a decent chance, the news we passed £120K is fantastic would be great also (now being greedy) if we could increase slightly the number of season ticket holders? Really proud to be part of this f...

Re: BTB - It's back

This time last year we were at just over £70K , Griifiths and Mondal signed with Alex Storey signing on for another year.

Re: Retained list

Also surprised about Cassidy as AA has continually praised him despite the winter /spring goal drought, unless he has someone similar in mind. Don't believe Rivers & mondal performances this season justified being retained hope it is on reduced terms as expect both to be squad players with Mondal li...

Re: Kidderminster V Darlington

Don’t think we need to make any improvements in terms of defence. I’d keep everyone we current have including Storey good 4th choice and young. One issue I do have with defence because it’s old we play too deep and with our current midfield crop we pretty much have a midfield full of CDMS. What we ...

Re: Farsley match thread

Very disappointing game , Lambert tried but needs someone to drive forward with him in the centre. Oneil was not working with him and never really got into the game, still not match fit thought we would change him sooner. Thomson again not quite up for it and couldn't find oneiil.

Hoping for draws between Chorley v boston and Kettering v York,

expect Curzon to lose at Brackley just to kill any faint hopes they have.
