Comments
My standouts from the list above.
1 Rather eat sh#t than watch Slough! Still don’t like them and my favourite song is still the Slough one.
2 Haven’t we got someone on loan at Bromley?
3 Thame for me. Mark West and cracking burgers. What’s not to love about that.
Parsons and AAH are both on loan at Bromley
Aaron Amadi Holloway?
AAH won't be playing after he's been called up to the national squad
If any WW season-ticket holder is thinking of going to Berkhamsted v AFC Dunstable on Saturday bring your season-ticket to gain reduced price entry. Non-League Day!
An excellent initiative, which many need no encouraging for. How to we get in with out 'subscriptions' though?
For their match v Bromley tomorrow, Wealdstone are offering discounted match admission to WW season-ticket holders. On production of your WW season-ticket you can get in for £10 instead of £15.
I think they do that for every game
Interesting promotion as I do wonder if the discount gets more people and if people do claim it why? I'd see this as taking 5 pounds from the club rather than give them 10 but that could be just me.
If it's people who wouldn't go without the offer, it's very much a tenner gained.
Whether it is non league lovers who'd have gone anyway, versus people who wouldn't have any interest without the sweetener is the difficult thing to analyse.
Think its all ticket tomorrow due to the current reduced capacity
Holmer Green 0-1 Flackwell Heath
Second from botton v fifth and the Heathens were the better team throughout, but Holmer defended resolutely. The hard and bobbly pitch made ball control difficult.
The winner came just after the break, a glorious 25 yard free kick into the top corner by Fabian Driffield. As good as Bale, or Carroll or JJ come to that.
Holmer had a great chance to equalise in added time, a home player suddenly found himself free eight yards out, but his shot was wonderfully saved by keeper Isaac Hay.
145 spectators enjoyed the warm sunshine. The goal and save at the end were posted by FH twitter.
Assistant seems to have gone AWOL for that 94th minute save...
331 at Berkhamsted today, 592 at Chesham but only 102 at Beaconsfield. Aylesbury Vale Dynamos v Risborough Rangers attracted 220.
Random orange ball floating across the pitch
Wonder if this will be the year that competing at such a high level finally catches up with Holmer Green.
