Play off this afternoon for place in NLS.
Both clubs are local to me in Essex.
Hornchurch walking distance. I watch them occasionally. Stadium not up to much. Athletics track.
Aveley have a new ground. I haven’t been there but Aveley itself is a nothing place. No railway station.
Aveley currently winning 1.0.
Both these sides have always played below NLS level and it will be sad to see Torquay having to play them.

Indeed, although I've realised that other than Truro if they go up, all the away games will be closer to Essex than Plainmoor.

Sounds like either are the type of grounds we are going to get absolutely drenched. No shelter on a cold wet Tuesday night,
The Loyal ones including our very own Paul Bastard deserve far better than these sh1t pits we will be attending.
One person to blame

They don't pay the players very much, and they probably make money from the pitch for the other 13 days out of every fortnight

And it's Christmas and New Year fixtures with Truro City again. They beat Bracknell 3-2 in their play off today.

A nice Sh1tpit to get us all excited. Can we fall any further, how embarrassing for every one of us. The reality of relegation

Looking at their accounts their a richer club than us with net assets of £7million.

Give it 2 years, net assets of -£7m would still be more than us.

Thank you for acknowledging , but that aside as you appear to be a guy in the know…. Maybe you can answer how many season tickets we sold last season ? As nobody else seems to know. Thanks in advance
