Woodford game

[readingrebel]

Just a thought, looking at the weather and the amount of rain we are getting and remembering the [****!!****]-up before the Binfield game, are we prepared this time for any pitch maintenance that maybe required?

Well there has been a big garden fork in my club shop on standby Eddie since the last time.

I thought that was just used as protection from the spiders Sue, lol

Pitch should be OK, not a lot of rain forecast for overnight (at least on the site I looked at)

Oh my god Eddie dont mention those bloody things Aidan is supposed to clear out my shop of those things, thats why I never try and upset him on a Sat morning !!

[GarySTFC]

Aidan was telling me the other day he had been forking something in your shop. If it wasn't the spiders, what was it?

[brighton_rebel]

That's two digs now Gary (last weeks was particularly class); can see where that forks gonna end up tomorrow!

[Ian]

He's had 2 or 3 years where he's had to behave himself - he's playing catch up!!

[Brummie Rebel]

On a serious note, could someone update this thread by middday tomorrow please, if there's any danger of the match being called off, as I need to set off around then to get to the ground. I'll put my fork in the boot just in case !

[Ian]

We've had no rain here tonight up to half nine so it would have to be torrential now to have an affect on the game.

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

looking at the showers over the last few days thatwould not be impossible , but i don't think we have anything to worry about on that score.

Yes,you're right Martin, it is a good read. I often agree with Steve Cumber and find his articles thought provoking.However,I don't agree with him on some of his points today.

When Slough were first in the Conference,Alan Davis the then Slough manager took awful abuse from the crowd and at times,it was totally out of order and unneccessary. In those days we didn't have forums on computers, but surely having them now and being so popular with fans, it's far civilised to voice a gripe using a keyboard rather than the ugly.intimidating,angry abuse from the terraces of yester-year.

Steve Bateman hasn't been subjected to that,thank God and as I remarked earlier in another thread,some of the supporters views have actually galvanised the squad/management in playing better, to prove some of us fans wrong.

I also think the crowd [all 200 to 300 of us] do make a noise when needed especially in the 2nd half of games if we're attacking the covered end at our home games.Plus away from home Slough's one of the better supported teams in our division and make plenty of racket.

I do agree with Steve,though,that most of us are getting long in the tooth and we are desperate for younger supporters to take up the mantle of the chants and singing.
