Who was Casey strike partner at Kiddy? Paul? Something. Not quite as high scoring but lethal together. Also, I think Jon Parkin might now have to be up there too. Still doing the business. Paul Davies was Kim Cassey’s strike partner at Aggborough.

I recall a midweek win at Gloucester in the mid 80s when a couple of our fans on the supporters coach thought we had lost all the way back to Maidstone.I think someone let them know we had won only when they were about to get off the coach.We played in our change colours that night and Gloucester had an Amber and Black kit.

What’s certain is the 3G is staying no matter what happens.It also looks that not getting the ground improvements financed or building started by the seasons end could funnily enough save us from relegation if we turn down promotion and claim it’s all about the ground improvements and not the pitch.

Nothing wrong with people with one eye! Don't forget our chant towards our hero centre back of a number of seasons ago was 'one eye, he's only got one eye' Also don’t forget our first ever ‘Cyclops’ goalie Derek Richardson.

Any serious investment in the club to support infrastructure development, a free-hold deal has to be much better Hopefully the Council will see sense and get off its strategic hobby-horse Financing a project based on a leasehold term is never so attractive. Whether it is viable at all, must depend on the length of lease. I would have thought a leasehold deal would need to be at least for 20 years to make any sense at all Anybody know the length of time the Council offered ? Fingers crossed it gets sorted I think the lease the council has offered is 99 years with a peppercorn rent.

Not a bad draw and an OK chance of progress.When was the last time we played this lot then,76/77 maybe?

There is still a rivalry even though it’s not as obvious as it was 25 years ago.Maybe we play it up a bit more than them but it’s still there to a certain degree.Maybe some fans don’t see it that way and that’s OK.Possibly some even have a soft spot for the Gills and that’s OK if that sort of weird behaviour floats your boat.I think a lot of questions will be answered regarding the ‘is there a rivalry’tonight if Ball 32 vs Ball 29 comes out.

The fact is Cheltenham are only 14 places above Maidstone and when it was 11 vs 11 on saturday we looked by far the more accomplished side.By comparison the team that’s 14 places above Cheltenham is still in the same division as them.I would describe saturday’s result as a ‘surprise’ rather than a ‘giant killing’ infact Oxford City’s result at Colchester eclipsed our victory.

The Cheltenham forum is an hilarious read.This little comment is probably the funniest...”Maidstone worked hard but they were easily the worst side we've faced this season and they didn't have one player apart from perhaps Hines who would get into our squad”.

Come and introduce yourself at Cheltenham. I shouldn't be hard to spot. Just a slightly older version of my avatar. I very much doubt I'll make Cheltenham. But if I did I reckon I'd be one of only couple dozen at max who could say they were there the last time we visited. Come on peeps, just out of interest, who was there and who is going to be there again? I was at Whaddon Road for the 4-0 win back in 88 and i’ll be there again on saturday.It won’t be anything like as easy this saturday i know,but it’s good reading their fans comments on the Robins forum.They seem very confident and expectations of only needing to turn up to progress.Only 15 places above us in they seem to assume all non league sides are of a similar standard.

Just whizzing past Crewe now on the train so will be home nice and early for a change.Sadly most of the other Stones who've got the train up and back today are on cheap advance tickets,so will be waiting for their original booked train home.As for the match,complete lottery and could have been abandoned towards the end of the first half. And we can guess where they'll be waiting! Was it the state of the pitch or standing water, or what? Would it have carried on on 3G? It would have carried on using 3G as the water would have been spread out more evenly.The groundsmen today only tried clearing water from Fylde's half of the pitch.To be honest even their efforts were half hearted as they knew the match had no chance of lasting 90 minutes.
