Horace - Where was HTFCew out of interest. I thought the crowd was a bit on the disappointing side considering it was the SSML's 'Premier' Cup Final, there were far more at Harefield United for the Premier Division Cup Final.

[Horace]

HTFCew as "up North" on family business. The crowd was indeed far lower than at Harefield, don't know why.

I think the Oxhey Jets minibus broke down on the way. Lots of other people probably stayed away for the exact same reason that so many Oxhey people wanted to attend!

Really!!!

pls expand FM!!!

[Willo the Cat]

Just to venture off topic for a min... Wader what was your golden Ticket number 14 or 16???

[Wader]

Which one won?

 

I forgot about that, although I knew it was close.

 

Nicest golden goal I've ever won was the 0-0 ticket at Bognor Regis. I won a whole home made Bread Pudding. (Bognor are famous for their Bread Pud).

 

Best match draw I've ever won was a 50/50 ticket for a quid at Aldershot.

[Willo the Cat]

I assume that it was 16 as that is the goal time above - if not blame Horace

[Football Man]

Winner was 16. Wader had 14. Of course, if 15, 16 & 17 weren't sold, maybe Wader could claim as the nearest?

Most people would have stayed away because they knew he was going to the game, whereas the Oxhey people would have wanted to be there because he was going to the game. I believe he may have upset Oxhey recently although I understand that matter is now in the hands of the Football Association.

Football Man - So where were the Oxhey Jets contingent on Tuesday then, I would have been more than happy to meet them face to face and explain that the whole thing has been blown up out of all proportion mainly by the likes of yourself to show me in a bad light.

I think the reason the crowd was so poor was due to the venue, London Colney is a very difficult place to get to and had the game remained at Reynolds Field I'm sure the attendance would have been at least double.

Depends where from! The whole world doesn't revolve around North London.

[Rhodes]

So why are Hanwell Town, Cockfosters, Brimsdown Rovers, Kingsbury London Tigers, Kentish Town, Haringey Borough and Sport London e Benfica the backbone of the SSML then.

[Horace]

backbone of the SSMFL - don't make me laugh!

Horace, he has to praise them.. they are on his bus route
as he searches for a new job

[Rhodes]

Horace - So who are the backbone then, London is 'where it's at' at the end of the day, not out in the sticks at places like Winslow, Cranfield, Langford and Ampthill.

[Wader]

I agree you have a plethora of players in London and because of that those clubs really should benefit from it. Do they though? It's a huge advantage after all.

 

Have you ever lived or worked in the 'sticks' Rhodesy? You should try it perhaps before dissing us that do. Although I'm a great believer in each to their own.

 

As for the backbone of the SSML, on the face of it your list is an oxymoron. Perhaps for backbone you could read geographical spine, or longest serving members, or best supported, or most succesfull? You therefore need to define 'backbone' for anyone to debate toward an informed decision.

The London clubs are an inconvenient headache inherited from the Spartan League!

[JET STREAM]

The Oxhey jets mob were in Cuba at a players wedding, because there a family club, had they seen you I dont think they would want to talk to you after what you said anyway.

[Hurryup Harry]

You London mob take the Spartan league and give us the South Midlands bit back then. See the clue is in the title..Sth Mids. thats why teams like Winslow and Cranfield are in it.
