A couple of non league snippets

[Reading Rebel]

I see the Bostik league's transfer deadline finishes this coming Saturday.

 

I'm not sure how it works but presume teams in that league cannot transfer in or out to leagues like the Evo-Stik who's transfer deadline finished last week.

Farnborough who were beaten O-4 by Kings Langley today have now conceded over 100 goals and Spencer Day screamed abuse at supporters in the stand who showed their disgust His latest deluded rant is on the Farnborough home page Its not "small margins" anymore it's "initial balls" cringeworthy interview really and nothing is his fault!

[GlenSTFC]

Problem for Farnborough fans is with him having a controlling interest he’s only going to leave on his own terms. The chairman there is more of a figurehead with Spencer running the show. So unless someone offers silly money to buy it off him (which is unlikely) then he’s there for a while I guess.

It is a great Day when Farnborough get stuffed and the best time of the weekend is when Spencer's interview is uploaded. 9+ minutes of him ranting about anything and everything. I'm the Farnborough forum last week there were asking which game Spencer was at as it wasn't their one LOL. Roll on next week and more fun and games.

[bluerebel]

Just love listening to Spencer Day. Always the same old issues :- Injuries, suspensions and unavailable players, Most goals are either deflections or bad decisions by the officials. 

Never credits the opposing team.

Don't forget... young squad and... mad 20 minutes

The first promotion of this season was decided today. After several recent near misses Taunton Town are promoted to the Southern Premier Hopefully we won't be meeting them next season!

Very true, Glen.

 

In Europe in 1939, another person thought he was God.  Unlike a cat that allegedly has nine lives, even HE met his demise at his own hand.

 

It can only be a matter of time.

Biggleswade Town have no goalkeepers.

 

All the GK's they have registered are injured and the league won't let them sign any more. They were forced to play with an outfield player in goal against gosport for the entire match.

 

We play them at some point hopefully soon (weather permitting) so shoot on sight boys.

There midfield Captain who has been at the club a number of years took over in goal.

By all accounts did well.

It is going to be hard for them till the end of season.

[Neil Baker]

One of their keepers will be fit by the time we play them.

[Irishadrian]

Sad to see the demise of Thurrock FC always a shame when an established non league team has to resign from its league They are seeing this season out and will decide what to do then Their ground is for sale and their chairman is very seriously ill I remember the only time we played them about 15 years ago and beat them 1-0 in a cup game but we did play them a dozen or so times in the league when they were known as Purfleet FC

[Reading Rebel]

Our old friends Penn and Tylers FC are in trouble as well.

 

Having spent 200k on having their ground done up i.e. 3G etc the council and locals have turned down their application for floodlights.

 

They are ground sharing with Amersham until further notice.

[GlenSTFC]

Maybe P&T should have sought permission before spending the money?

[richierebel]

From what I understand of the situation they have permission for floodlights as they already have them.  The issue is they wanted permission for them to be used 7 days a week, whereas they only have permission for use 3 days a week, i.e Tues, Thurs and Sat.  I presume they wanted to make some money back by renting out the pitch on the other days they didnt have a match or weren`t training.

[GlenSTFC]

Ah now that makes more sense and you can understand why residents are against it.

[Reading Rebel]

After last night's drubbing from the rebels the Frome manager has resigned.

At last we are running into consistent form scoring goals and the rotation is working a treat,all to play for.COYR

[Irishadrian]

P&TGs application was lost on the chairman's casting vote so an appeal is inevitable If you go to the latest news section of their website you can find the statement delivered to the planning committee It asks for 9 hours use per week during the football season It was lo cal residents who claimed they were after substantially more

It turns out not to be entirely true..... they advised the Southern Premier League the third goalkeeper they had signed was in Poland (he says he has never been to Poland and was in Bedfordshire!!).

I would be surprised if they get permission to sign another goalkeeper, and will probably have to count on one of their other two goalkeepers recovering from injury.
