Macclesfield are here and Stones youth team. A suggestion here that Macc might insist it goes ahead.

He was on the cover of our programme for the 1986/87(I think) season No, that was someone else - who I thought I knew the name of, but having checked the squad, none of them ring a bell! It must have been a photo from the previous season, so maybe he'd moved on? The name Mickey Joyce comes to mind, but not with any great certainty! The player on the front of the programme is Steve Hatter.The best taker of a free kick i’ve seen in a Stones shirt.

Just seen this report by BT Sport on an EFL meeting today:
"The EFL also reiterated its stance on artificial pitches and stated any National League team that wins promotion to League Two must agree to use a grass surface.
Should that criteria not be met by the nominated date, the club that finishes 23rd in League Two, and would otherwise by relegated, would retain their place in the division."
It seems the PFA’s anti 3G stance is swaying opinions in the lower divisions of the EFL.Sadly when they vote on it in June i don’t expect it to be a very close thing even if it’s for League 2 only.

It was quite amusing on the train coming back last night to see Bromley’s knuckle dragging “Maidstone’s a shithole” kids actually get off at St Mary Cray.Other than the pot calling a kettle black scenario i did wonder if these kids are the illegitimate offspring of the Cray kids that used to run amok in the Kent League days?.

We all need to face up to the fact that at this moment in time we have probably one of the weakest squads in the division.The thing that really concerns me though is most of these players form dipped at the same time and very suddenly.This much heralded full time training idea doesn’t seem to have made a great difference either.Some of the reason the squad is so weak in depth in my opinion stems from very poor recruiting pre season.

New blood needed immediately,otherwise we are in a relegation scrap.With Solihull improving and difficult games coming up for us i can see huge problems.

We are not going to score even if we stay to midnight and Gateshead go home.Delano before he was taken off had three great chances that he would have buried last season.

Disappointing first half but thankfully only 1 nil down.Two poor sides with us looking like exiting the trophy with a whimper.

Gateshead goal the result of a badly defended free kick.An easy tap in for a completely unmarked Heed player.

I started watching the Stones in 73 so obviously i’ve seen all the league championships,cup runs and football league status.The only thing missing is seeing us at Wembley and if that was to happen i’d consider all my Stones supporting ambitions complete.So for me tomorrow is a massive game in the scheme of things.COYS !!! Nothing like building your hopes up! Sadly ive done that a few times over the years when getting my hopes up for Stones actually having a cup run to Wembley

We haven't won in 12 games!! We need to be worrying about the teams below us, not this silly dream of the playoffs. I completely agree.Torquay apart i don’t see any of the other clubs in the bottom four in any more an hopeless place to what we were this time last season.We will need to strengthen very soon or we will be in danger of going down.Infact we could be down to 20th in a couple of weeks if results go against us.

I’m currently watching the match thanks to Spikey Spikes live feed.We look pretty poor and extremely thread bare.Two very bad goals,
