Come on you lot, wake up. This forum is as dead as Croydon Athletic's chances of staying up. Where are you all going to finish in the league this season? Obviously as a Sutton fan, my contribution to this can only be a boring "we have already won the league." But I've not managed to keep track of you all. So, how are you doing?

Speaking of the forum being quiet - the front page tells me that 3 registered members and ONE HUNDRED AND SIX "guests" were on the forum yesterday. Log in and post, people, for pete's sake. That's how a forum works ;D

Hyde 1 Droylsden 1.
It's about the best we could've expected. We're still alive but must win and even then it's not in our hands. We have to hope that Corby are really up for signing off from their old ground with a win. A win for Hyde and it's either EvoStick or Zameretto for us next season.
I'm on a 12hr 6am-6pm shift with no access to the SRFC score during working hours. It's going to be a long afternoon.....
Wearing my other hat, it was good to see Edin Dzeko get a league goal at last and put 4pts between us and laaaacky Spurs for the last Champions League spot.

Play Off Semi Final at home to Cambridge City this Thursday.
Winners will be away to Hednesford or home to Leamington in the Final next monday. To say our form has been inconsistent would be something of an understatement. You don't win anything with kids, unless they're very good kids.

Daza, i'd love to have had your "boring" season compared to the "interesting" one we've had at Stafford Rangers! Ultimately, if we do go down, it will be because at various times in the season we've been total crap and left the fight back 'til too late. Unlike the super Warwickshire Bears. We recently went into an away fixture minus Maddy, Bell and Trott, spotted the home side a 175 run 1st innings lead and STILL swept to a magnificent 88 run victory! ;D

Hucknall have just got relegated and it's now been revealed that approx £75k in V.A.T. is owed by the club. Lord knows how this has come about and a lot of supporters are very unhappy about the whole situation as it looks like the club could well fold. It isn't even as if there has been any money spent on the team over the last few years, we're very puzzled and very angry as we've been told on numerous occasions the club was "cutting its cloth according to its income".

Relegation is a nailed on certainty for Tamworth this season. I can't tell you the reasons why first hand, as I've only seen six games all season. However, it's fair to say that the team looked dog poo whenever I did watch, even if they won.
In the first game of the season fans were singing "It's just like watching Blackpool" and the club have continued to emulate the Premiershite's Tango men ever since. Having troubled the top spot early on, settled into the play-off places for the first quarter and then slumped into mid table obscurity, the inevitable apathy spawned a gentle downward slope leading towards the four 'R'-labelled births at the foot of the table. With one game to go the club finally settled into the fourth of those spots.
The stories I've head from the Lamb this season have been nothing short of hilarious. For the second time, Gary Mills chickened out of running the club, moving sideways to York where it appears he's failed to deliver anything for them this season.
After months of limbo, Des Lyttle was allowed to take the manager's position, in spite of having zero experience and a truly appalling record during his spell as caretaker. The one player in the squad with an ounce of ability was sold to Aldershot and replaced by a series of youths on loan that either showed promise and got injured or were flat out terrible. Lyttle survived through abysmal results until a few weeks ago, when the club let it slip that they wanted to bring in an 'advisor' for the final few game. With dummy spat out and toys thrown to the four corners of the ground Lyttle walked away, allowing former Lamb legend Dale Belford to attempt a rescue mission.
It started well with an unlikely victory away at York, snuffing out their play-off hopes in the process. Five points required from the final three games, two of which were at home to clubs lower in the league. First up Scouseport at home and a pathetic 1-0 reverse topped off with an inexplicable three red card salvo from the ref in stoppage time. Notts County loan 'keeper Mitchel managed to run half the length of the pitch to apparently gob into someone's face. Probably an easy one for the ref with it all kicking off just a few feet away from the fourth official! The next two followed swiftly for players enquiring about the referee's sanity/competency.
The club haven't actually had a goalkeeper of their own all season and had got through a load of loans and emergency loans to keep a body between the sticks. With Mitchel banned and sent back to County, the club turned to its academy side to provide a stopper for the away trip to Wrexham (bankrupt but play-off bound), with 40+ Belford taking a place on the bench. The poor kid had a nightmare and shipped four comedy goals in a 4-2 defeat. He had to be substituted towards the end of the game with cramp, leaving Belford to see out the game with no gloves...
So it's down to the final game and a simple equation - beat Forest Green Vegans at home to stay up. Easy? Well, there's no 'keeper - both are injured and the powers that be have refused emergency cover. At least four players are suspended and several are playing through serious injuries. The Vegans have already stuffed the Lambs 4-0 this season. Tamworth's home record is terrible, particularly on Saturdays. The game is being televised live by some no mark Irish sports channel - TFC have lost all six of the live TV games they've been involved with.
If you have any spare cash, get down the bookies and lump on FGR for the win!

If you have any spare cash, get down the bookies and lump on FGR for the win! Tip for Medibot there! I shall look out for this result at the weekend, especially as it might just affect who Sutton play next season.
