further down

Probably some compacting but I think that the real problem is winter.

Cheers desperado - that does seem a logical explanation.

Just watched the highlights - and you're not wrong!

Does anyone know if Woking's games in hand dates have been announced yet - BBC website doesnt list them.

I assume one is versus Hemel...anyone know who the other one is?

Truro and Dartford games from what I can remember being posted.

just visited their website - look to be playing Dartford on Tues 5th Feb at home and then Hemel on Tues 19th Feb at Home with Truro away on Tues 26th Feb (we play Hemel on Tues 12th, which will put as back to having played 2 more than them).

7 games in 25 days for them in February, compared to our 5 in the whole month.

So come the end of February we will be level in games, let’s see the league table on the 28th.
