Ok, I didn't claim to be that good at Geography though did I?! I'm confused. Not with it today, had an hour long IT exam, not fun, and have just seen an example of the hour and a half business studies paper i have to sit tomorrow. 84 marks in 90 minutes, yeah right!

Is it near Tonbridge? I know it does exactly what it says on the tin so it may well be east of Bournemouth

It's here

[Fleetbabe]

Well fine, I knew it was around somewhere in the south east!

 

Lets just hope that we can go there and win tomorrow.

Don't try telling us you do any work, your always on here talking to us

[Fleetbabe]

I do work. I've been on a website called tutor2u, doing the revision section, like my business studies teacher told me too. Plus, this morning I was working on my ICT coursework, visual basic, and was looking at this as a pop up. Still don't understand where I'm gonna get 84 different points from tomorrow!

I thought some of the players lived in or around the stevenage area am i wrong?

[ColtheJock]

Ok, I apologise for questioning the professionalsim of the club. If it is easier for some players to get to Eastbourne by car then that is probably the most sensible course of action. Just hope no one gets stuck in traffic and we have all the platers available!!!! The A22 leads to Eastbourne and it is not the greatest road. I have just picked up a new car (well used to be honest) so will not take the risk of driving a longer distance for the time being!!!!

just found out the players have to make there own way to the match tomorrow as the club aren't running a coach.

how unprofessional.

 

As Dave and others have pointed out , it is easier for some games for players to make their own way, especially mid week games as they work as well.

We are semi professional not unprofessional.

 

 

 

But it reminds me of travelling upto Barnet on the tube last season, for the midweek game at Underhill, when we bumped into Rob Owen making his way up there as well.

He was stressing as he was late leaving work, He had to stand in a crowded tube most of the journey with a heavy kit bag. He only got a seat a few stops before the end. It was only 1 1/2 hours before KO when we got there, so he had to leg it from the station to the ground, catching a bite to eat on the way.

The Barnet team being full time , had had all day to solely concentrate on the nights game and thus prepare themselves accordingly.

As it was, the team and Rob put in a decent performance only to be undone with a last minute goal.

It puts into perspective what we are achieving at the moment as we are playing teams that in theory should have much higher concentration and stamina levels.

And until our attendances dramatically increase that will always be the way, and we must hope that we keep overachieving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But as eastbourne are the same as us, we will have no excuses tomorrow night.

How can the players know where Eastbourne is when they can,t even find a goal! [color:"blue"] [/color]

[Peter W.]

Just so everyone knows there is a team coach going tomorrow it will leave the ground at 4.30pm.For the players living south of london etc Andy has said they can go direct if it is easier for them.I hope that settles the arguement.

[Fleetbabe]

So they are running a coach which will probably end up only half full, because surely most players will opt to drive themselves or car share?

[Guest]

go down the A21 till you get to Tun. Wells and follow A267.

The ground is in Langney on the outskirts of Eastbourne

Why would they opt to drive themselves or carshare?

[Jimmy]

As mentioned before, depends where or if they are working I should imagine. Going direct would be quicker for some than going via Gravesend and then having to go back there to pick up their car and drive home from the ground afterwards.
