Just want to say hi !! my first post in 2 years Hello Jimbo ,I enjoyed the game and our little conversation on Saturday and I still agree with you it was fantastic to be back in a proper non league ground with a proper non league atmosphere. The welcome we received was magnificent and the locals didn't even mind losing, well I suppose thy are used to it. There is no way that you would get days out like this in the NL So lets enjoy them whilst we can because no doubt we will go back up in years to come. So welcome back to the forum Jim , I wasn't around 2years ago but I doubt much has changed.

So welcome back to the forum Jim , I wasn't around 2years ago but I doubt much has changed. Surprisingly, it has changed - nws was all over the board two years go. Endless spats between him and DaveU, almost every thread hijacked by pointless, directionless argument... I think PMH was here then as well - that was fun! And, of course, Ant was alive and well then too to keep us all on our toes. As for NL vs N-L (see what I did there?), it's an unanswerable question. Sure, we'd all like to see the club do as well as it can, but many of us (or just the older ones?) much prefer the old non-league atmosphere - friendly opposition fans, nice old tatty grounds, no violence and agression (well, not much, anyway). In many ways, I wish the NL wasn't there, then we could just enjoy ourselves, without worrying about finding 'investment', expanding the ground, segregation, ridiculous ticket prices, promotion, etc. The old Conference had its problems, and I'm not sure if I'd really want to go back to those days, but just imagine the NS or a combined NS/NN, like the old Alliance), with no real chance of promotion to the FL (and, even then, given the state the old 4th division was in, no real worries if you were promoted). We could just relax and enjoy our football again. Or has the vast improvements in football and facilities at our level been the result of the NL being there and being what it is? Maybe we just got what we wished for?

Just want to say hi !! my first post in 2 years You weaned yourself off then came back. A silly decision, Aggrostone. I still pop on and try to weave my way through JDL's numerous long-winded ramblings and diatribe. Occasionally, I find a post by someone else and it lights up my heart before I go back to scrolling through the next 20 JDL posts...

Er...I think you will find it is my policy to reply to all my worshippers and followers as much as possible. That has been a policy since before you defected from West Ham (having defected from us) and came back to continue supporting us through thick and thin the second time round. It has been stated many times. However, you crack on with crackpot claims and feel proud if you want.
