Back in the Ryman...

[HorshamRebel]

The other thing that will affect us, is the ground WE play at next season.

 

For Example....

 

If at Windsor, most probably Ryman

If at Maidenhead, most probably Southern.

If anywhere else, who knows ?

Tony has now updated his site and looks like we will have the scummers with us.

 

Lots of local derbies and not too many trips to essex - will kent become our new essex?!

[Chris]

That's good - did not quite fancy Boxing day at Harrow!

Carshalton Athletic

Chelmsford City

East Thurrock United

Folkestone Invicta

Should have a clearer indication by the end of this week as I think that is when the Alliance's meeting is scheduled.

Also having another look at those set-ups I would have thought the Southern League will be the "easier" league. Not that I want to go there the travel costs are too much to absorb.

[GarySTFC]

Looking through that I don't see many teams I'd feel confident we'd finish above to be honest. Maidenhead, Heybridge, Margate, Chelmsford and Bromley all have a bit of cash behind them, AFC Wimbledon will be stronger and a good title shout and the likes of Billericay, Hampton, Worthing, Staines and Walton should all be looking to go a bit better than this season. Could be very tough.

I would fancy Ramsgate to struggle - two quick promotions, and the jump from Kent/Ryman One is a big one. But you're right, it will be tough, unless we can hold onto players like G.

Still Worthing and Horsham, what a treat for us Sussex boys!

Thats why I wouldnt mind us moving into the Southern League. OK the travel costs would increase but if the club put some effort into getting sponsorship this would be covered. But obviously a tougher league would probably put us in a better position if we were to ever get promotion.

May 11th is decision day, so this all still speculation.

[Matt]

Chelmsford have confirmed the arrival of Jeff King and will sign at least 5 Canvey players, including their captain, and backroom staff. They will probably be favourites for the title next season.

[Paul Stephens]

If we generated extra money by sponsorship i would much rather it was used on the players rather than travelling costs. I thought the whole point of the restructuring was to reduce costs not increase them..
