Get the feeling this could be a long thread? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

they've had a few disappointments of late, but when that second wind comes along I'm sure it will be business as usual

You'll find a Foster Free site will do wonders for people <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Thats why we are posting on EZ again but both sites will continue to run as CB has more random and CSFC related topics.

Well, they can always post a couple of articles about Billericay...that is sure to spice things up on the site... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

They love us really!

Chelmsford fans:

Gazza, TC - bonjour!

 

It's just that I keep looking for them you see.

 

I've given up looking at the very top (it always seems to be Kent clubs these days!), but I can't even find them in the top half!

 

I see all the big clubs, your good selves included and even a village team from 'down the hill', but no one from the 'County Town'.

 

They haven't moved again have they?

 

Off the record, I'll tell you that we've become so concerned about our missing neighbours that we've even thought about offering to use their ground for our reserve team fixtures to generate a bit of money for them, but there are doubts at Cressing Road if our reserve team fans will travel.

 

Will North Essex ever be the same again? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

ha ha very funny Iron. Seem to recall you had a slow start last season and with a bit of luck you may be joined by us and Riccay next year.

 

Is the standard in cs much different to last season

[Iron Webbo]

nws, a slow start, yes, but never looking over our shoulderrs at the drop zone! (only kidding) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

To be honest, it would be great to see both you and Ricay in Connie South. Gazza would have a field day ...

 

As to standards, yes there is a step up in quality. You get less time on the ball and you have to take your half chances.

 

The pitches (and facilities in general) are all so much better and the competition is very well run. We're starting to find our feet now, but there's even more money swilling about in the Connie South, so we're not having it all our own way! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/hump.gif" alt="" />

 

If it was just down to the pounds, shillings & pence Fisher will win it, but both Salisbury & Histon look strong. And as we're finding out, it's also about having the facilities to go up and the resources to stay there if you do.

 

We'll find out a bit more about the chances of the 'little ol' Crittalls works team' when the Conference ground grading inspectors visit next Wednesday.

[GazzaBTFC]

Dear me, IW....you got a squint?

 

And would I have a field day? I've mellowed...

[Iron Webbo]

I do hope not! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/whistling.gif" alt="" />
