Right, first game of the season.
Thought I'd start a thread for discussion but mainly because of I have a question: the divider in the Genco, has there been any information about that, i.e. is it staying up for the whole season? I stood in the Genco briefly at the Lewes game and it looks pretty secured down. If we start doing well and crowds increase, surely that just cuts out room for 100 / 150 odd people in one of the covered sections of the ground.
Regarding the match, I'm confident. I honestly think we'll turn it on and look relatively comfortable. 3-1 (Amantchi, Kelly and Corne with the goals).

Hopefully they give us more room in the Genco, certainly the best place to watch the game from to get the full experience. Shame it can be very crowded at some games. So hopefully we get a bit more room. As for the game, hopefully a win, not bothered by the scoreline. Just hope we pick up 3 big points. |

The divider looks more permanent, with steels under the cover. Maybe they’ll leave the bottom part open for the likes of Slough and close it for giant clubs like Dover? Chatham fans were happy enough to self segregate for the first half, then swap ends.

As a townender I dont care about the divider but it will look silly segregating a few dozen Slough fans.Hopefully no f**king trialists in the team including goalkeepers.We need to start fast and attack, attack ,attack until we're 1-0 down and then hoof the ball up the pitch or into the river until the 88th minute before scoring twice in 42 seconds to claim the points,with the other 22 teams drawing we'll be top of the league.😁

Crikey, Sword, what odds did they give you for that outcome! Comfortably bigger odds than they would be willing to pay out for instance they could offer you 10,000,000/1 but if you invested your £1 and won then winnings would be restricted to £500,000 or whatever their top limit is. |

Looking ahead to Saturday it looks like it's a brolly day with torrential rain forecast especially around match time. This could have a serious affect on the game . The bookies say we are 4/7 favourites which is a bit tight seeing as we were so bloody awful last season.

Two days into our North American holiday, I was just beginning to recover from my jetlag, when I tried to get the Stones Live commentary on my phone at 3pm, only to remember that we're 5 hours behind, so the game had been over three hours ago.
Then, whilst explaining my annoyance at this to Mrs JDL, she pointed out it was Friday!
I have since drunk a 2l bottle of Diet Coke, and am now feeling almost normal. We go again tomorrow!
Or is it today...
