A couple of non league snippets

[SloughFlyer]

SJR - Coyne played for Ascot in the same league last year and really wasnt all that at all in the games we saw. Hayles will of course score goals depending on the type of service he gets.

Kettering have signed Lindon Meikle....... the name might ring a bell amongst some of our fans as he played against us for for Mansfield in the two FA Cup matches in the 2012-3 season.

He was one of their better players in the replay match. Technically very good.

[Irishadrian]

Meikle was a Southport player last season and spent some time on loan to Barrow Played 32 times for either of these during the season born back in 88.

[Reading Rebel]

Lindon Meikle is a very good signing for Kettering and IMO along some other very good signings puts Kettering as one of the favourites to win the Southern Premier.

[Mark44]

I was really impressed with Lindon during teh Mansfield games....assuming he was the blond winger....

[Irishadrian]

Maybe he needs to play at our level now. In the three seasons since he left Mansfield he has scored 3 league goals although I agree excellent against us.

I prefer Slough to be underdogs !  

The way some fans are saying,what with Hereford, Kettering, Banbury etc, Slough might as well not bother !

ha ha !

 

I see it that we will give them a good game, whoever they are.

Only a good game? wheres your positivity 3spirit

Just a small snippet - I was at the Burnham v Harrow PSF tonight. Burnham fielded a youthful looking side in the first half including some ex -Slough youth team. Harrow lead 2-0 at half time and then Burnham brought on some older looking players. However the 2nd half didn't last very long the game being sensibly abandoned due to the storm conditions.

[RebelDelaney]

Just watched Swindon S/Marine v Hungerford who had Stony in there side.

Yea, and how did Stoney do?

[Irishadrian]

Lindon Meikle made his debut tonight nothing to write home about Kettering 1 down after 2 mins 2 down after 4 mins pulled one back after 6mins then Brackley conceded a converted penalty just before half time Full Time Brackley 2 Kettering 2.

....Build up the suspense or what? 

What was the score,how did the game go and how did Stoney get on, RD?

[Irishadrian]

The score? Swindon Supermarine 1 Hungerford 2 Rest will have to come from RD

No surprise there then !

[RebelDelaney]

I expect Stony is still getting match fit after injuries from last season and game was nothing to write about.

 

We look a better side than Hungerford but as we all know its just pre season.

 

Last year Marine beat Frome 3 nil and I said they were nothing special but but had a very good season we have trouble beating them.

Marine play Banbury pre season.

[RebelDelaney]

Hungerford have shown over the last few years its not all about playing attractive football but being a hard team to beat that brings success we could not even score against them.

Funniest part of the evening I thought I was talking to Marine supporters and asking what size crowd they had v Hereford but Hungerford supporter piped up with we got 400 against Ebsfleet Wow we.

I believe they only got 900 v Maidenhead.

[Bernie Gogan]

RD, att. Hungerford v Maidenhead 724, I was there! Fair to say that they are punching miles above their weight, Ground is poor and would need to be upgraded yet again to allow for a further promotion. They have, I believe, now upgraded suitable for National South, which at the time of my visit they had not.

[Longshot]

When I used to Referee, Hungerford Town was in my bottom 10 of grounds and facilities. The Refs room was poor.  Could all be better now of course, Not been there for about 5 years.
