A bit of fun. Just wondering what people think is achievable this season. I would like to think we can be a top half side this year, maybe with a bit of luck we might have an outside chance of making the playoffs! But id be happy with top half and a decent cup run . Speaking of which isnt the fa cup draw fairly soon ?

Now we've got Frannie and Worgan there's no reason why we shouldn't be aiming for the playoffs. Pretty sure that will be Jay's objective

Good question, and one that is a little tricky to answer but if I cast my mind back to around this time year last when we were awaiting the game against Brighton and the official opening of the GS I recall the master plan was to be in Conf South within 5 years. This expectation seemed realistic, but was based on predicted crowds of 800-900 an so in that sense we are ahead of the game.
In Terry's recent blog he stated the board expects us to be in the play offs at the very least come the end of the 2013/14 season and have backed this up with the signing of Frannie and Worgs.
I remember last season Jay mentioned we perform better against better footballing sides and sometimes struggled with the more agricultural sides in Ryman South. Judging by our performances last season against teams in higher divisions I think we will more than hold our own in Ryman Prem but we will have a lot more teams challenging for the title.
So who will be our main challengers? Wealdstone, Lowestoft, Hornchurch, Bognor and Dulwich? Margate perhaps, Canvey......having less Kent derbies will help

If the league do not sort the Carshalton Thurrok Mess the question may be 'When will we Finnish this season' Looking to the play off or there about.

Like the owners, I think we should be aiming for the play-offs. The large home and away support is probably worth 10 points a season, just need to hit the ground running this season so looking forward to seeing the fixtures released (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Well our home form was not too hot last season and cost us the title! I think that this year though the players will be used to the whole Gallagher vibe and it could become a fortress. Play-offs for me....then who knows! If a small club like Tonbridge can make it to Conference South on crowds of less than 500 I'm damn sure we can.

I think we will finish higher than we ever have before in the Ryman Premier.
