Yeah I heard this a while back.

 

Not impossible or that much of a surprise, the ground is Conference standard which will make a nice change for them.

 

Question is when we play them "away", will Chatham Gary travel?

[Stu M]

Erm... why? What's happening their own ground?

[Harry J Allstars]

Being knocked down for redevelopment. They have to be out by the summer. New ground not built yet.

 

The rumour I've heard is that it'll be only year, I'd put good money on them still being here in five years.

[Maxman]

It has been sold for housing.They are hoping for a new ground in the area of Blackshots in north Grays.There was also talk of them sharing with Thurrock.The fans have a fear that they will end up like Dartford a few years ago with no ground the money trousered.

I doubt it!

[Hempstead Gaz]

That will depend on whether we use a medicine ball or a volley ball for the match!

Shirley that can only effect what time you leave not whether you can be arsed to go.

[Hempstead Gaz]

For the record, I cannot recall in the 40 years of following Fleet of, as you put it " not being arsed to go", specifically to home matches.

There have been plenty of times, more recently than in the days of Southern league, Beazer Homes, and Rymans that I wished I hadn't seen a home game.

 

 

[Bernard]

Did you go to Dartford away in the cup the other year?

[Hempstead Gaz]

Would you prefer to rephrase the question "Were you AVAILABLE to go to Dartford away the other year?

The answer was "No."

If you knew the first thing about what I work as you would know, as many on here already do, that my work patterns prevent me from making some matches.

Those I can make, I do make.

Choice is yours Gazza.....either you want to go or not !! Hindsight is great isn't it ?

QUESTION - Would you prefer to turn the clock back and be part time in the lower divisions or where we are in 2007 ?

This is a multiple choice question. Answer either a) YES or NO.

See you on New Year's Day !! Happy Christmas.

Cheers,

PS.......It's a game of opinions Brian !

Tbh, Hirsty, apart from fitness, I am not convinced that full time footy has made us better footballers. It might attract better quality of player due to the higher wages, but in all honesty it hasn't always been more entertaining.

Full-time doesn't neccesarly mean higher wages, footballers wages at the lower levels tend to be more age related than hours worked.
I would be amazed if a young full-timer like Mott, Akinde or Coleman was on a bigger wage than an experienced part-timer like Jacko or Skins.
Which would explain the fact that so many of our squad are youngsters.

Or swap shifts like I do. apart from missing a game as the missus was in labour I haven't missed a home game in about 5 years.

[Hempstead Gaz]

The nature of my job precludes shift swaps.

If only life were that simple.

[Harry J Allstars]

It's all rubbish apparently.

[Andrewc]

Grays moving to Thurrock or Dag & Red. The fans to decide.

What a novel idea !

[kaizen]

Like the idea of the tanker in the middle of the river with a pitch on it... it could be dragged across either side of the river depending who was at home!
