A few of us London based Spireites are meeting at the New Cross Turnpike at midday on Saturday before walking down to the ground. There is a number of other pubs en route that we’ll drop into before kick off.

Obviously it is a chance to rest some players but also to give a game to those who haven't played much. Surely Boot, Sheckleford, Grimes, Jones, Berry and Quigley can play.
I'll be there anyway. (160th ground I've seen Town play at).

I hope we get booted out personally, main reason being we start to lose Saturday home games in the league and have to play midweek all the time, which is a slog, we get lower crowds, hospitality isn’t full, we sell less booze etc and all round they aren’t as fun.
You have made me want to do some digging on how many grounds I’ve seen town on though, I’m on 227 in total but not sure how many with Town.

Was still expecting maybe Grimes to go lead the team, and maybe 1 or 2 others but if Cook isn’t going it says a lot!
Welling are 23/10 tomorrow, could be a mortgage job

G’day. Coincidentally I’m at my lads pad in Beckenham for the weekend so I might pop over. 9.4 miles apparently. I’ll bring me boots cos we don’t have a usable CF in the squad. Can’t use Berry cos Colclough is injured. Can’t chance Quigley getting injured. A false 9 seems appropriate.

You'll be in competition with a lad that can run though and seriously he's quick.
Edit PS it's your round in the " Door Hinge" (google)

Can’t see why that isn’t feasible especially if we field an academy team tomorrow. Not sure it would be cocking a snoot at the NL as the Trophy has nothing to do with them unless you are proposing mixed teams

A case in point being if we get to the semi we’ll be playing that instead of Gateshead away on a Saturday, and a weekend swill in Newcastle goes down the pan.
What a travesty that would be.

My logic, if that's possible, is that the NL management would maybe perceive it as undermining the credibility of the league with their weird train of thought (and its us). Whereas some established manager going public and bragging about cheating raised no concerns whatsoever.

Blimey. In that case I ought to point out that the missus says I shouldn’t go cos it’s rude on our hosts. Just setting off.

It'll be number 181 for me, maybe higher because I count friendlies ?
