Erm....YES,I,I,I mean NO...Doh!! It's no disrespect to Dorking but Bookham are not going to merge with any team, as a club we have something like 25-30 teams in total from U7's to seniors.

is there anything you want to tell us?

 

new name above the door?

 

and Bjr Im not on a windup do you know how the youth side did, please?

[Park Boy]

So what you are really trying to say is Dorking would merge with you not the other way round.

 

You are also saying Bookham are bigger more fashionable club than Dorking.

You are a brave man Mr Teflon

 

Spursman - not sure what you want me to tell.

 

[Teflon]

In the number of players and teams at Bookham, YES we are bigger, in the footballing history no. I have not said we are more fashionable than Dorking that is down to players and supporters to decide.

 

Would Dorking want to merge with Bookham, no I dont think so but never say never.

 

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

Park boy I just wondered what brought you back on here at the end of August? Was it just Bjr's picture of the crystal ball?

 

And Teflon how can you say Bookham are bigger?

Dorkings affiliated clubs and teams are legion, there must be a thousand and one players attached to the club one way or another.

Brockham badgers, dorking girls dorking youth dorking colts dorking saints, dorking Market....

SF.

 

I'm a bit out of touch with the Under 18's lads. I last spoke to their manager at Meadowbank a fortnight ago.

 

I understand they are pretty good. A couple of 'em come from the estate where I live, so I have a bit of an interest there.

 

Some of them usually come into Meadowbank on a Tuesday evening after training if there's a game on.

 

I'll see what I can find out for you.

[Teflon]

Hi TSF, if you look at it like that then yes you could be right, but I am not going to stand there and count them all

 

These clubs are all associated to Dorking while at Bookham they are under one umbrella, although run by 2 committees and many different training venues and home pitches.

 

In the end both clubs are there to serve the communities.

[Park Boy]

I would tend to agree that Bookham are a bigger club than Dorking due to the fact that they have all the youth teams, reserve sides that play under the name Bookham, they seem to be a well run club. They just need to get their own ground, what about going to Mole Valley Predators ground?

 

Spursman - Yes it was the picture of the crystal balls, I can always sense them.

 

Always have loads of gossip about local football in Surrey and Sussex just can't always tell people.

 

And before anyone says it I will not be saying anything about the situation between Dorking Football club and the Council apart from I think it is shocking that the council have left the club in limbo still with the lease. Either sort it out or shut up.

 

Which 2 teams do you think might go down this year?

I hear the league do not know yet if any team or teams will get promoted this season, that again is shocking and know wonder people think the Combined Counties is a joke compared to other leagues.

 

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

park boy , I hope you dont mean no promotion out of the ccl prem?

 

And as for prom/rel between the divisions! Should be decided on results on the pitch, who gives a "" how many seats there are etc.

 

BJR

 

Thanks Id like to know.

I think the manager is an old mate of mine, and sadly the youth side are my generations kids so I am interested. Cant you poke someone in the eye to do an update on the web? Still just says about the badgers on the youth side, "Manager steve Lunn and badgers chairman Hugh Cannon", all a bit out of date now.

[Park Boy]

Here is the link to the Southern Youth League website but it seems out of date - www.syl.org.uk

 

Yeh talking about promotion from ccl prem - they do not know if there will be any.

 

The rule by the end of this season that all clubs in ccl 1 should have lights, can't see that happening.

 

[Rattled07]

Parkboy - we've all missed you livening things up on here!

[Park Boy]

Been away coaching abroad for most of the summer and just got back a week or so ago.

 

Must say the message board has been rubbish reading not much going on.

[Green_Fingers]

Big JR - where were you at Imber Court? - I'm on the Girls League Committee and asked the guy who represented Dorking Girls if he was you - he looked indignant and said you were much older (& taller!)

[Big J R]

I think a lot of stuff is out of date nowadays.

 

There is a fair chance I'll bump into, (not literally), the Under 18's Manager on Tuesday evening if I can get there for the second half of Bookhams game after the Girls training session elsewhere !

 

If so, I'll ask him to try and update the situation for you all.
