Very good 🤣🤣🤣

Re: DAZN

Glad they didn't choose our game at Sutton NYD . The main line through Woking isn't open that day I have been trying to work out the connection but I can't so thought I would ask, why would an issue with trains at Woking affect DAZN if they had chosen to cover our game against Sutton Because leavin...

Re: Gateshead

Well spotted Birdman, the article is the same one that was in the other thread (it was the Gateshead match thread) but back then it was saying they were close to agreement its now been updated (see second date 19th) to confirm they have reached agreement. So Gateshead can now get promoted if they ac...

Re: New club secretary

Background in communications, seems a lot more than Club Secretary. This has all the hallmarks of a Tommy Widdrington recruitment. Look forward to a bit more information from the club making a break for freedom! The role of club secretary although obviously a critical part of the football administr...

Re: New club secretary

Welcome Louis, hope you enjoy being part of the Shots family. I am sure I speak for many on here when I also add a big thank you to Bob Green for stepping back into the role on a temporary basis after Matt Wigman left and while recruitment took place. Its a massively important role that Bob did real...

Re: FA Trophy draw today

At 5pm on Saturday 7th December we could be in the bottom four, and out of the FA Cup and FA Trophy! But it’s all good, we might win the Hants Cup. LOL. At 5pm on Saturday 7th December we could be pulling away from the bottom four, and through to the next round of the FA Trophy! We could also win t...

Re: New club secretary

I heard that shahid couldn’t put a fag paper between the final 3. To decide the successful candidate, he decided to make them sit through a thirty minute recording of Richard Petty jokes to see who held out the longest, he nailed it after 2 minutes and 45 seconds 😏 Ooooo …, cruel ….., but fair. 😁👍 ...

Re: 1979 Ford Escort

Shows a lot of how the automotive world has come on. No ABS, Aircon, electric window, airbags etc. the comment about a light rear end was true of many Ford’s (and other cars of the time) and cornering in the wet in my old Cortina would often lead to a breakaway. Another car, looks wise, that would ...
