The Conference South.......

[AFF]

........I spotted this on the Margate board and snipped and glued it, [electronic indicator boards!! - how cool is that?]:

2) There will be 4th Officials at all Conference South matches, and they will have

electronic indicator boards.

shirts, and numbering will be from 1-11 for the starting team and 12-16 for

the substitutes.

Clubs are to recommend the opponents they would prefer.

the league table.

re: 4) think we asked for Hornchurch, but will be getting Hayes.

Local derby, Rob.

I believe league fixtures are out tomorrow, and Conference on Friday.

 

 

[Rob_the_Saint]

Yeah, I know.

 

re: 3) Hope none of our lads are superstitious (no. 13).

 

Will the fourth official be allowed to stand in front of the main stand I wonder?

5) Having the bottom three as the three relegated is a bit controversial, surely?

[GHA EFM]

Should've asked for Newport, would've got them out of the way and ensured two 3.00pm kick-offs during the season.

Have to say that I wasn't aware that electronic sub boards had worked their way down to Conferences North and South for next season...

[AFF]

Hi herts blue.

 

You have me worried now. As you are an Official of the Club, and particularly in view of your, shall we say, specific areas of responsibility, I would have expected you to know. If it's wrong information, blame the chap from Margate, needless to say.

 

I've just had a thought. A fourth Official and an electronic board thingy. Who is going to pay for that, I ask myself. That will take care of a dozen or so of the [paying] attendance. It's a good job that the average is going up significantly in view of you know what.

 

Hi GHA EFM.

 

Quality post, that one. I wish that I had said that. I don't know where you get it from.

When I was speaking to Laz he said the club had asked to play Hornchurch on Boxing Day.

 

Hopefully you'll play them when we're away to Leigh RMI or Tamworth.

[herts blue]

All the fixtures out tomorrow I believe, including Conference, though could be wrong.
