'Mid table wont reverse the descent of the average gate to appalling new lows' says the Prophet of Doom ?? Our average gate went up this season according to two sources I looked at It did; from 1,803 in 2015-16 to 1,888 an increase of 4.7% and if the club budget for any more than that then they are...

Well done to FGR who played a brand of football almost unknown at this level of the game as far as I've seen this season. People talk about the money they have thrown at it but be really honest and acknowledge that man for man they were just a normal sort of fifth tier footballers excellently coach...

Do you know what their long-term ambitions actually are? Or are you falling for the spin? If their sights are simply set on acquiring the freehold to sell for housing, and the football club is an inconvenience, then their long-term ambitions do not include even the existence of the football club. H...

Ebbsfleet get through and will be in the National League next season. Result: 2-1 (att: 3,134)

Living in Essex I'd like to see Chelmsford go up. My friend's son (Bagasan Graham) plays for them and they've got financial trouble because the prospective buyers (Jade Global) who have been accommodated on the board all season have now resigned due to the fact that when push came to shove they did...

Anyone denigrating the concept of the play-offs is denying themselves of the very fact as to why they were established.......to open the season up to as many clubs as possible rather than the balls achingly old style of meaningless mid-table games that came around so early in the season. They have b...

.......the Herald is just a smokescreen to stay in favour with club officials and it's long been up to the forums to spread news of what is and was going on. Sanctimonious pricks or not, nobody can say we've not given everyone plenty of notice about recent events. The very notion that the very life...

I've long held the Herald in contempt for their continued stance on keeping information from the fans. A more critical eye from the local rag might have put a stop to a lot of the decisions made by various controlling parties at Plainmoor. I've had it put to me Dave that sports editor Richard Hughe...

Yes but there's the 'mid-table' finish borne of narrow failure to reach the play-offs and that of narrowly avoiding relegation and we all know what this management is good at!

Mid-table won't reverse the descent of the average gate to appalling new lows...... That descent will bring with it appalling new minimal levels of expenditure being made possible by the ownership. The public will stop falling for the twice running 'con trick' of marketing another relegation fight ...

It's been pointed out to me that a reporter called Jamie Hawkins posted an article on April 21st. OK; fair enough the total number of signatures then stood at one and a half thousand. Since then? Nothing (to the best of my knowledge and especially on the specialist Torquay United feature; the weekly...

To the best of my knowledge the Herald Express has yet to mention the petition ~ even though it has been up and running for almost a month now ~ and again I put it to you all that this appalling apology for a newspaper is totally failing it's role as a news provider for a community leaving one to q...

Gone over 7,000 tonight.........7,035 as I post & yet still not a mention on the Herald Express!

http://www.aatcomment.org.uk/from-professional-footballer-to-accountant/ This gives an insight into how young footballers can manage their work/rest cycle to their better advantage. I've just been talking to the mother of an 18 year old released through Brentford closing their academy a year ago ab...

Talking of Islington lads; there are a few from that part of North London who have been at Torquay United: Bayo Akinfenwa, Nathan Abbey and Sam Chaney spring readily to mind; but one who I occasionally bump into who actively works in local schools football is Jim de Garis who came to Plainmoor in 19...
