Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread

It's gone very quiet at the club, I'm presuming AA is on holiday at the moment? AA gives a very good update of where he is with signings etc in his interview on the latest Darlo Fans Radio podcast. You can access this by scrolling down the news column on the official website (sorry, I don't know ho...

It would be really good if Graeme Armstrong has been persuaded to put his boots back on for one more game. It's the last day of the BTB shirt raffle - I've got my tickets. H...

Re: The vote of no confidence in the National league.

I'm not familiar with the U.S voting system but I'm sure there will be reasons why votes work like they do, however I'm sure voting in a huge country with multiple States is much more complex than The National League. I can see why step 1 clubs get more clout - but 5 times more!! The situation used...

I wouldn't describe Hornchurch as a 'tidy side'. I thought the defending by both teams was calamitous at times. I think if Alun Armstrong watched that video he would be quite encouraged.
