Quoted from diehardmariner
To be fair to Woods, he didn't take over a side with lofty promotion ambitions that had gone very close the previous season.

He took over a side during the season that had recruited badly in the summer and only stayed up the previous season because of points deductions for other sides.


Indeed, Graham Rodger is probably a better comparison.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Flitcroft got their defence well sorted and they played some good stuff at times last season. The Radfords were way too trigger happy getting rid, in my opinion. I guess you get that with owners with ideas above their station.

If we beat Manfield on Saturday, we'll have 21 points from just 12 games, which equates to 1.75 points per game. Over a 46 game season that would mean 80 points.

More understandably, it would probably mean that we wanted spend 75% of the season worrying about possible relegation back to the National League, and therefore the ability to play with some style and elan and go for it regardless?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Guilty as charged Pete.

If we lose I'll run around BP with a sausage up......maybe not.

Can I take some of the glory if we win ???  



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Touché PP!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

How about. If we win you get to share your sausage with the Mansfield CEO 😄


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

They've only sold 600 odd tickets so far.. To us that's dreadful but I guess we're so used to suporting a team who travel in numbers on a regular basis.. Would love to see a table of the % of home support that travels away, we surely would be right up their.
