Fork King the pitch and still raining!

[andyetfc]

Got you reading.

 

Thanks to the merry band of men who started forking the pitch at 9.00am this morning to try and make sure the game would be on. However, the elements were against us(Roy, Dave, Peter, Andy and Dave)and we failed in our quest. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

It really would not have helped had we had scores of helpers, because the water was not going anywhere.

 

Local referee turned up at 11.00am and deliberated long and hard before confirming with the match referee that the games was off. We must feel some sympathy for Torrington who came up yetserday but we look forward to seeing them again next week(normally the worst Saturday of the year for football) <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

Now's your chance to go out and buy your Christmas presents before next Saturday so that you can attend the game. Tell your friends to come along as well. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Looking forward to a bumper Christmas gate. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

There should be a working party on Sunday morning from 10.00am for those of you who can read the NLP before then. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As the home club do we now have to pay 2 lots of expenses to Torrington?

[andyetfc]

Not sure, but the secretary may be in a position to inform us.

[peter coath]

I believe that we have to pay our visitors expenses, even if the game is postponed.

[lovely stuff]

Does that include hotel accomodation,as well as travel expences?....Because if we have to pay for both twice,the tie will end up costing us money.

 

Say the game is called off 2 or 3 weeks running?.

[Pavagrotti]

We better win then! No pressure lads but....!

 

The rules regarding expenses are alergacy of history and their returning will cost money. Every town Supporter we can get the next match will ease the burden, but it is Christmas and I appreciate that a supporters have to do as they're told before they can come out to play!

 

If gets too expensive then the FA underwrite some of it. Again the rules are complex and thats for our secretary to to sort! Unlucky man!

[Southport - TOWNER]

Yeah, I was bringin a couple of blokes along today; but as for next week, I will be "otherwise engaged"

 

what happens if it's a replay? date?

 

At least we are in the 4th round draw!

Shopping in other words. Change your plans and be at Goldsdown Road next Saturday afternoon!

[Southport - TOWNER]

no not shopping.

It's a christmas event I have been organising since June!

 

"Take me home Goldsdown Road; to the place I belong; watchin Towners..........."

 

[SOS]

Fair enough - hope all goes well.

 

Hopefully Town do the business so you can see them in action in the next round.

why do football supporters arrange things for saturdays?of the seven days in the week this is the ONE that is more likely than anyother to have a match arranged for it,after all we are non-league supporters not premier league.

[Southport - TOWNER]

Brunob, some things are more important than football, like err, well there must be something, let me thinbk about it!

 

I'm gutted that can;t get to the game;

any chance of it gettin on 5 live!!

[bigboybubs]

I am now free to steward on saturday now but the lucky mascot can't make it. She's got to stay at home in Scunthorpe, because her sister is coming with crimbo prezzies. Why can't women get their prioities right as to big cup games.
