BOTTOM 3

[Guvnor No1]

Bedfont Sports, Bedfont Sports, Bedfont Sports, Lol!

 

Only Joking, I think if Feltham don't get a good start they will struggle as they have no SPECIAL players, only players who are bad at posting letters! Lol!

 

 

Lammas, Feltham and Bedfont Sports bottom 3

[Terrence Collina]

I don't think Dorking will be in the bottom three next season

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

I don't think Dorking will be in the bottom three next season

I think they will be, but they wont be bottom three at the end.

 

 

Chicks will need to be a little lucky with the fixtures computer (or pencil!) and get a good few first games to get some confidence and belief.

 

Bottom to mid table will be a huge impovement .

 

Dorking Wanderers now offering a similar playing standard and will probably compete at the top end of their division again.

 

Bookham one div down now.

 

Leatherhead up again

 

Will be interesting to see where both players and supporters will go in mole valley now. ( sutton - on - cobham rovers wd40 doesnt count)

Dorking are having a far more settled start this season, retaining Buckers, who has more than just bolstered his back-room staff.

 

All the players he wanted to retain, he HAS done, plus adding three new signings, with more to follow.

 

Personally, I'd be happy with midl way to top half, though not top three.

 

.... and no, I don't make a habit of 'eating my hat' !

South Kilburn, Sheerwater (sorry Loop/Young Vet, hope you prove me wrong) and Hartley Wintney

 

I thought we were friends!!!!

 

Haven't you heard that we picked up some free transfers. Woodgate, Vieira, Hargreaves and Keane. Not bad for a backbone to your team this season. Found them on YouTube of all places.

[Eastside Urchin]

You can take bendtner,eboue,arshavin,almunia,koscielny off of arsenal as well if you want

TSF - I have been a member of this site for a couple of years now and have mostly been reading other peoples posts and not really making much comment but think its time to comment regarding you.

 

I have noticed from time to time you make little digs at our club, and just wondered what your problem is as from reading back over some of your posts in the past and the one you made above you clearly have one.

 

Are you bitter because we had to move out of Sutton ended up in your area, (hence the name Mole Valley) then ended up having a better team than yours?

hello frustin.

 

I have no issue with the people at your club, and have met a few of you and discussed it.

 

 

I am against ground shares in general and clubs who move home a la dons

 

Several reasons for that , one being when Guildford merged/took over dorking fc, and another teams sharing with Dorking and going higher in the pyramid

 

and I find your name amusing, mole valley sutton common rovers playing at cobham or wherever you go this year.

 

Im not sure if youre breaking fa and eec laws to be honest , arent you supposed to have a name reflecting where you play?

 

 

 

The only logical bit is rovers.

 

 

 

I find it funny and like to point it out from time to time.

 

 

You may have had a better team on occasion, but dont forget heritage, Dorking is the 3rd oldest club in surrey you know.

 

Look forward to the games, you know how to get to Dorking do you? Its in the mole valley with a big [****!!****] on the roundabout, and a big knobhead in the club bar waiting to buy you a drink.

And there called Mole Valley SCR ( Sutton Common Road not Rovers!)

Road/rovers?

 

depends which part of their site you read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So even the logical part may not be right....

 

for me South Park is the way to go, stay at your base , improve it work hard, well done.

Thanks its taken alot of hard work from alot of people at the club and the players rewarded them last year with a fantastic season.

 

 

My views on groundshare's for what its worth. In Div 1 Farleigh, Staines and Warlingham all done it last year i presume to try and gain promotion as there grounds wernt up to scratch, so say they did get promoted they have to stay groundsharing and continue to therefore lose there HOME. Where i have no complaints because the pitches were better surfaces (not in Staines case always had a lovely pitch). Just think its a shame, i know theres difficulties in getting lights, stands etc, which makes me feel all the luckier that we have what we've got.

Its such a shame laleham rec cannot be granted floodlights because its a waste of a great pitch and facilities! Must say ashfords pitch is looking superb at the moment but won't last too long as sometimes they have 4-5 games a week played on it!

[frustin]

Ok it seems we have some confusion with the details.

 

We originally had a pitch off Sutton Common Road but you cant call your team a Road lol so we called the team Sutton Common Rovers.

 

In terms of groundsharing our situation was unfortunate and not by our own choice which is different from other teams that share.

 

If Sutton council had helped us back when we was still in Sutton we would have had no need to move out to River Lane in Leatherhead and would have stayed in Sutton.

 

Sutton council was only interested in Sutton United and Carshalton Athletic and was very unhelpful which was dissapointing seeing as we had been running in the area for over 25 years at the time and was a very succesful sunday club with ambition to have a crack at saturday football.

 

We had 2 choices we either sit in Sutton and never be able to progress under the Council due to ground gradings ect (and only ever be able to go as high as the Surrey Elite) or we seek a new venue where we could develop it and put all our effort in to it.

 

So our search lead us to River Lane where only a youth side called Mole Valley Predators played there and we had the perfect Senior teams to look at merging with them to create one whole new club, they were 100% behind merging the 2 clubs into one.

 

Whilst we was at river lane we put up new fencing, turnstyle, painted and decorated the place and even started to build 2 new stands one seated and one for standing.

 

The ground passed its grading for the CCL premier and all the work was done due to the senior sides of Mole Valley SCR FC.

 

We then find out that a certain person from Mole Valley Predators who I will not name went behind our back and got into bed with leatherhead FC.

 

They where also having problems with the council which we was unaware of and before we knew it we had to leave River Lane and wouldnt you believe it there is now Leatherhead Predators Youth, its a complete waste of River lane making it only a youth base for Leatherhead FC and some where their reserves can play.

 

As you can imagine I have no love for Leatherhead Fc and im sure in time what goes around comes around. Karma lol

 

So we were homeless with only weeks till the start of the season and thanks to Cobham Fc we can continue to play in the CCL and we are grateful to them and the league for seeing that none of the above was our fault.

 

I remember officials visiting River Lane when we was doing all the work there through all weathers and they couldnt believe how much we had done in the short space of time we had.

 

So well done to South Park for what they have and what they are doing but without the support of your Local Council its impossible to do the so called works which we have done once and have nothing to show for it.

 

I love all the groundshare haters on here they do make me laugh because we wouldnt groundshare if we didnt need to.

 

Its not as if we have a choice, well the only current choice we have is to drop back out of the CCL and waste all the hard work we have done to get the club where it is today and again I must stress its all been done on a ZERO BUDGET.

 

TSF - you might have one of the oldest clubs in Surrey but you of all people should know that if the council had their way you would be out of your ground and groundsharing too.

 

so in future spare a thought to clubs like mine who are really doing it the hard way and really want to get our own ground and are not as lucky as you are.

Old history now.

 

Three days in County Court, (Staines and Guildford).

 

Judge ruled in our favour AGAINST MVDC, AND awarded us our costs be paid by MVDC.

 

I fully appreciate what went on behind the scenes regarding your position at River Lane, and like you, I was disgusted in the way it was handled by the 'powers that be'.

 

Don't fret too much about TSF - He's really a big 'softy' at heart, and I'm sure he and I will buy you a drink on your next visit to Meadowbank !

Edited July 8, 2011 by Big J R

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

it is old history, but if the club had been removed Dorking would still have had a football club at Meadowbank.

 

It all goes to the heart of what constitutes a football club.

 

MVSCR clearly have a dedicated bunch of people and good footballers. do they have supporters as such? exc wags uncles etc, do they trot out from Sutton each week to Cobham? Fair play if so.

 

Similar with Bookham. Why groundshare at Meadowbank when they have a ground in Bookham? Just to play one division higher?

Why not excel at a level you can genuinely sustain?

 

If it was Dorking Town FC starting life afresh in div 1 of ccl it would still be Dorking, but probably not if it was Dorking Wanderers

 

( no offence meant to the board etc. of either club)

Any truth in the rumour I heard yesterday in Dorking Town centre that 'Wanderers' have lost their sponsor, TSF ?
