Just realized I never introduced myself
Hi all, I'm 30 odd posts in already but I didn't introduce myself when I joined which was rude so here goes. From the age of 2 until nearly 7 my family lived in The Hague so, when we came back to live in Saarfend, I knew nothing of english football. A school friend showed me book that had...- sammy666

Roots hall...
As excited and nervous as I am today a strange and yet sad thought crept into my head today. Today is another one of those special games where roots hall comes to life and the roots hall roar can be heard.

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Accers v Southend
Stopped off in a pub on my way home and am making my way through a (reasonable) pint of "the guest ale" which is Adnams. Not a good game to watch I'm afraid though Accers offered very little; we were also a bit of "work in progress" (I am trying to be positive here). Other than a scare in the...- Rattus Norvegicus

Season Tickets & Friday Night Games
So, on hearing news last month that we asked every team in the league to switch their visits to Roots Hall to friday nights, if that had happened, i'm sure i wouldn't have been the only one to send their season ticket back and ask for a refund?

Oh no Aldershot will have to be rearranged
Because of some silly game we have at Wembley our game at the mecca of Football 'The Recreation Ground' against the mighty Aldershot will have to be rearranged and we all know what that means an evening game with their dodgy floodlights.

Looking at the league table it would have to be said that the next 2 games are vital if we are to keep pace with the top 3 whilst fending off the chasing pack of which chesterfield are one of.

2nd highest ever points tally?
Our record this season would have been sufficient to have won the title the year we last went up from this division (when we went up via the play-offs) and we got more points than when we actually won the title the following season. In fact, I believe that's our second highest points tally...- Yorkshire Blue

Damn those Aldersh*t floodlights damn them
At the time we feared it might be costly but now it looks like the diference between the autos and the play offs will be the points that we would have got at the Aldersh*t abandoned game.

An eventful day for sure, allegedly some spoon went walkabout in the fast lane on the M25 (not for long i'm sure you appreciate) and the ensuing congestion meant a lovely detour up the M40 to Wycombe, a short hop over to the M4 westbound towards Reading, through Bracknell and onto the M3 back...- BLUEBLOOD
