They're all playing competition football. It's only our league that has nothing to do. "Don't shine that light in my face, mate - I've just lost a pint of blood."

Now we are non-league again, we should have been looking higher up the tiers for a game, rather than teams several levels below us. To lose to a team higher up the pyramid is not such a bad thing, but potentially losing to teams below us just takes the urine.

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.

The semi-final and final is to be played during the season so it's understandable that we sent the kids. I think the lack of home friendlies is due to the condition of our pitch and the work that has been done throughout the summer. Our season starts 2 weeks after League clubs and they want higher teams as they get close to their big day so timing these big friendlies is tough. We've played Mansfield and Rotherham, Boston will be a good test as they are a very good side and then we have Chesterfield. There is also Alfreton and Burnley U23 within 24 hours of each other so one of them will give our first team a decent game you would expect.

Results matter, but getting a team to gel and forming an understanding, good team spirit, on the pitch, in the dressing room, and training ground are very important. Come the Bromley game, out of the starting gate and 3 points. Going up, of course we are. UTM You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

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