....I wouldn't bet on it !

[rayw]

Depends on the odds!

But i think it might be spot on about Margate and Bromley going up!

[michael]

Lets all hope so.

 

Appreciating it does` not do much for the travelling expenses, but thats a 'proper league' when you play games in Wales, the west country,midlands and east anglia

[margateshot]

Not much to get excited about though. No local derbies (Welling too far IMO) and no well supported clubs.

[sargon]

Margate & Bromley ..going up?....now thats something I wouldn't bet on,having seen both sides at Heybridge recently.

I think Wimbledon have been written off too early and Chelmsford,though it hurts to admit, have been very impressive.Better than Bromley and Margate by a mile.

[ooh!!bodyform]

take your negativity over to the ramsgate forum!!!!

[BlueGate Alan]

Thats because we had an off day at Heybridge and thrashed Chelmsford 3-0 here <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[AncientBlue]

You beat me to the punch there Alan!

Exactly right.

You were obviously showing how ANCIENT you were Harvey plus you not being as SWIFT as our new friend Saragon.

I believe that it's Sargon Joseba.

I think Boreham Wood and Ramsgate could both be outside bets to go up via the play offs.
Bromley looked like they were going to be the team to beat but often in non league the favourites end up ko'd in the play offs by an unfancied team.

[sargon]

Sorry,but the the season is not even half way through yet and to talk about winning the league/gaining promotion is a bit previous.I can only say what I have seen ..you may have had an off day at Scarley Road..(and you were,to be kind, very poor)but then again Chelmo probably had an off day at yours.IMO they are still the best side Ive seen in this league to date.

Having said that I think we could nick a point off them on Boxing Day and they have a very difficult January coming up so I have been told,but even at the end of that month the league still wont be decided.

You are right Saragon much to early in the season but the thread is about how another is seeing it next year not us! We know the league is very open and ANY team can slip up against a much lower side as has happened quite a few times. I wish you lots of luck against Chelmsford and actually think your side is still in with a very good shout too!

Wimbledon???? No chance, too far off already with no consistency and over zealous fans living off their memories!

[MargateFan]

I suppose being top of the league draws other teams' supporters in to have a pop at us and tell us how we are not as good as this or that team.

But I find it quite flattering that they take the trouble to register and post.

And it is still early doors in terms of the final league positions.

[michael]

I actually think he is right about Wimbledon and Chelmsford,but as for his own side-Heybridge Swifts-think they may fall short.

[MargateFan]

I think Wimbledon have been very disappointing this season, and whilst I think they will have an upturn in form, they may have left it too late to contend for the top spot, although play-offs should be a reasonable target for them.

Chelmsford are on a run at the moment, but I did not rate them too highly at Hartsdown, so the return fixture should be highly illuminating. I am not sure they are as cohesive as we are as a team.

Heybridge always have been contenders, but I question their consistency.
