Love the format of these. No room for messing around! I remember a Becky SYCOB v Slough semi a few years back. Sluff thought they could just turn up against their plucky landlords and were sent packing with their tails between their legs - long season obliterated after one game!

Saw a Wycombe plastic bag at Egham on Tuesday, proudly on show
Content of the 'said bag' were as follows
1 A4 plastic programme envelope
2 Pack a way Kagool
3 Corned beef and cress sandwiches
4 Camra real ale guide
5 Hardback copies of the memoirs of Stephen Milligan
Stephen Milligan? the dead MP? or the part time WW fan of the early 80s
He of Satsuma infamy, didnt know there was WW fan who shared the same name.
Yes my close neighbour. No one called him Stephen except his mum. I am going to track him down via the wonder of social media today.

@A_Worboys have you seen Mitchell Weiss play for Kings Langley this year? He got a hattrick when I saw him - think MK Dons will take him.
What about Warren Bentley at Winchester?
