Looks like a really good group to me, should be very close.

[theabbeyabbott]

The "Group of Death" ?

[coupwotcoup]

Mind you, your lot should be happy enough?

[Beer Sponsor]

And an additional trip to Southend. Just need the right day/date!

[MbrunoB]

And bigboybubs can have his consession.

[TB&G]

Have the powers that be also worked out the structure of the quarter finals onwards? E.g. winners of group ? play runners up of group ? etc. Or will it all be done when the teams are through on a semi seeded basis?

 

Or ?

[coupwotcoup]

Don't be bloody silly. They still haven't surfaced here yet to explain how some teams will have played nearly a sixth of their league fixtures by the end of August!

At the League meeting on Wednesday the Chairman said the Quarter Finals will be on a two legged basis and the draw for section v section winners and runners up would be made at the October meeting. Semi's will be two legged and Final - 1 match. Also, your question wasn't asked so no one seems so concerned as you ?

[Pavagrotti]

They normally are two legged affairs the players dont run so good on one!

 

I reckon town will win through to the next round along with Concord.

 

Town and Concord to meet again in the final!

[TB&G]

So who will win through to play against this combined Town/Concord team in the final do you think?

[Pavagrotti]

Town of course.

Have you been to earth recently? If so, you might have seen on this site that not only I, but a few other supporters from the ESL were extremely [****!!****] off with the way the fixtures had been done. Like Romford being the odd ones out on the first day?

Chill my friend Chill! Romford finished the season before anyone else and you lot complained. Now you start after everyone else you complain! Maybe you just enjoy complaining.

Wewll said Clegg, there is no pleasing anyone in this league!

Too bloody right I like complaining! Nothing a little bit of angst to thin the blood. It is all fine and dandy for the LC to come on here extolling the virtues of Great Wakering's Shepherd's pies, but isn't odd that they can't answer the criticism re their running of this league?

Anyway it could be worse, have seen the conversation on the 7-1 report? Of BBQs, new shoes and roads to Takeley...
