Re: Match Day Thread: Beaconsfield (Berks & Bucks Senior Cup)
I remember watching us beat Chalfont AET (Junior Morias scored the winner) in this competition a few years back. Dog of a pitch at Mill Meadow but we still risked Scott Rendell, who scored at least once, possibly twice. God speed, Captain Hartridge. May the 4G be with you tonight.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
So which nom de plume is Pete C using on the gasroom?
Kipper the ITK…. Konetheming the Gasroom bad boy…. Shev the Yankee songsmith…. Or is it Kim-il-Swan the overseas satirist?
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I’d argue you that WWFC and its fans have also been loyal to Bloomfield for 20 years.
Let’s be honest, fantastic pro who gave his all for us every time he crossed the white line but I don’t remember any clubs falling over themselves trying to sign him from us.
He also didn’t do a particularly great job at recruitment the season before last, Keogh, Breckin etc. 1 win in 17.
A fantastic turnaround since then but he’s been fortunate to have a very competitive league one budget to work with. A far cry from the Ainsworth days where we could barely fill the subs bench.
There’s two sides to every story. That said, this is a sad day and he’s been a fantastic servant to this football club.

I think we all remember the 'Trust Meeting September 12th' thread from years ago very fondly, too. That was a humdinger!

Hats off to the Beaconsfield Town steward who changed the wheel of a friend's car, who had a puncture outside the ground. Fantastic service!

Another proud night for Mr & Mrs Trialist?
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
When it comes round to citing his disloyalty to Colchester and the fact that Bloomfield was actually a ****, time to bow out.
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
To be fair, if it were not for ITKs saying what they can about Dan Rice without betraying their sources, we might all be calling Matt Bloomfield a disloyal snake who was never a good manager anyway (see: Facebook).
If it is a choice of no-one saying anything and everyone blaming Blooms without context, or people who cannot betray sources saying what they can, which would you prefer, genuinely?
I know the ITK thing can be annoying (and is to a lot of people in this current scenario), but in this case I would say it is clearly all out of loyalty to Blooms, not wanting his name dragged through the mud unfairly. There is a lot of consistency with what is being said, and some major smoking guns along the way that everyone saw (Blooms brother's rant, unceremoniously sacking people around Blooms, etc.).
Nothing wrong with giving Dan Rice the benefit of the doubt if that is your perspective, but mocking people who may be genuinely upset/distraught at how a club legend has been treated doesn't really help.
