Best Of

I wonder how many football clubs would be allowed to keep their traditional nicknames if they had to use one reflecting their main contemporary export. Luton, for example, would have to change theirs to The Tommys.

Just setting off myself in glorious sunshine, it's a beautiful day, if chilly, here in the East. Looking at the online ticket site, a fair few seats in the Frank Adams have been sold last night and this morning. I reckon it could be quite lively of the Terrace.

Hope we get to sing "Top of the League ...." or "Top of the League and we're having a laugh"

Good luck Taff and thank you very much for all your effort. 👍

High time we had a game at AP too, separate or before a mens game

I'm sure the EPL would like to see 'B' teams introduced into the women's game and be successful, and use that to support their case.

I'm opposed to 'B' teams, it devalues the competitions, but it just might help the women's game, where the pyramid structure is weakened by a lack of good competition to support it. It needs more players and more teams of a good standard. I'm sure the Chairgirls would like to play more than 18 league games a season, but even in such a small division, there are still too many one-sided games. That is repeated in a lot of other divisions, standards are too stretched. 'B' and reserve teams could pad out the divisions and raise standards, but not if they are full of players too young to manage what has become a much more physical game.

The two Southern Regional feeder divisions already have reserve and development teams, including Chesham United, a National League club, but their Dev team are rooted to the bottom and have had to scratch from three games this season, because they couldn't raise a team.

Perhaps Darcie, in one of her interviews, could ask Head Coach Carl Simon what he thinks of the proposals.

Shouldn’t say this I suppose but I agree with your every word.

Exciting game today! Looking forward to seeing new players.

Especially if it’s in the Gavin Grant sense of the phrase…

Let's not hold that against him...to be fair Savage does seem a bit less of a tit here when talking about something he has worked on personally and seems to have made a contribution at Macclesfield.

I'm just praying Kone isn't absent "as he has a cold"........
