The Club has said Saturday's game was the ninth in a row at the Gallagher without defeat.
Consistently not losing at the Gallagher is not something I've associated with The Stones since 2012. What's the record run?

Pretty impressive start. One home defeat, three wins and three draws in the league, although the three FA cup wins were against lower league opponents. But the biggest difference now is when Billericay scored, I never doubted our players would step up a notch. Compare that to last season. Saturday was the culmination of several months building and hard work.

Saturday was the culmination of several months building and hard work. Good point. I'm always confident we will be able to overcome going a goal down. I know some people think we miss too many chances, but this is a team that has goals in it from all over the park. We won't score a hatful every week but we'll win a lot more than we lose, and if Saturday is anything to go by, we're starting to do it with a bit of style.

Very different to last season when after conceding a goal, that was essentially it, game over. Much more positive vibes around the place, better football by a country mile and players looking like they are enjoying themselves. Those absent NL 'supporters' having put up with so much dross are missing out on the new Gallagher experience.

I think Big George leads by example and the younger lads seem to be getting a nice bit of bravado about them. Looking after them basically. Schooling them, Nursing them. Like an older brother Whatever. Not arrogance, but confidence that the management seen about them In the first place. I think we’re only gonna get better. Will miss Tuesday. Been sent to Cornwall. Can’t wait til Saturday though COYS

Thank you. That's a great and memorable run - that I appear to have forgotten 😁
