Sad as it may seem to point out, as NWS does with seemingly great pleasure, that Tonbridge have an average attendance of 419, even sadder is the fact that half the clubs in Skrill South had an even lower average. How on earth the likes of Boreham Wood, Hayes & Yeading and Whitehawk exist on less than 200 spectators is beyond me although Boreham Wood do have Arsenal Ladies as a financial boost. Thanks to the awful winter weather this season has been a financial disaster for most non league clubs and the refusal to extend it by even a week by both Skrill and Ryman leagues is very puzzling to say the least when you consider that the Football League play-offs do not finish until the last bank holiday in May (Whitsun to us old timers)

Hard to have any sympathy with Tonbridge though.. their fans seem a very bitter and twisted bunch.

Elphick from Tonbridge, Kane Wills (skipper & centre mid for Bognor) and Stefan Payne (Hornchurch)in an ideal world.Priority for me personally is keeping hold of Attwood & Flisher who will prob attract higher league interest and Orlando getting back fit, if he doesn't Clunis is the ideal replacement! Definately don't need wholesale changes just 2/3 to strengthen a very good sqaud. If Otzumer doesn't play football league next season theres something very wrong, was a privelage watching him play at the Gallagher (even more so as we won anyway!)

Oh dear, Mr Warrilow clearly has a point about social media,
"Maidstone Utd a community club who charge the disability team/juniors nearly 4k a year to use their pitch on a Saturday and the odd Sunday. I hope the Angels never need to charge disabled/ kids under the 'Community Banner' Before our friend from Maidstone questions this my disabled son plays for them.(His decision, he is an adult now). I write the cheque out. Every time I do it I weep."

This will be the controversial policy of asking players to pay subs to play football, distressingly common in the junior game.

I asked the head of customer services for a quote for the pitch a while back, was actually surprised at how reasonable it was.
Sadly the prices are so reasonable it had been booked out for when I wanted it...and for several months beyond

I've hired the pitch for a couple of vets games and it works out at £350 including VAT. Given the quality of the surface and also that you are talking vets football, it works out at about £10 per player based on a squad of 17 which is not uncommon in vets football. Given that my subs to play at Penenden Heath are now £10 I think it's reasonable for top quality facilities.

we have 2 center halves at the club both had injury problems this season, we had the same issues last season in the same position.JP is much more effective in midfield with another more attacking midfielder(that is also where i would like to see a change). Since we lost orlando our front men have struggled ,with him back we will look much more threatening . With the way we have fallen away i feel some changes are necessary and maybe some will have to go .I feel if we just tinker a bit we will continue to fall next season and maybe some of the fans favorites may not be first choice or even leave .

Charlie Moone - Hampton & Richmond Borough Danny Waldren - Bromley Matt Bodkin - Margate Tyrone Sterling - Dartford
With hopefully returning injured players, combined with retaining key players, that should provide suitable strength in depth
