So it's fanfares for Salisbury and Sutton (with AFCs Telford and Wimbledon hovering hopefully in the wings), restrained applause for Worcester, squeaks for Tamworth, and raspberries for Hucknall and Stafford! Get in there, how much more tin-pot can my team get. Seriously, in the local rag report of our final home game I got a better write up than the teams performance. I kid you not. ;D

At the risk of compromising my modesty the write up was. "Save for the brave and loyal soldier of the terraces, Frank Paterson, banging his drum to the end and pouring from his Yellow heart his repertoire of defiant songs, few would have relised a relegation battle was still there to be won". and the piece was rounded off with the line. "The days when Town went marching anywhere to the sound of the Paterson drum, seem but a distant memory". So I actually didn't do anything other than be myself Sal. ;D

After a serious flirtation with yet another relegation (12 points from the first 20 games) Leek Picard up quite well in the second half of the season, finishing 16th which was the highest in the table we'd managed all season. Currently managerless as Neil Cox resigned with 2 games to go but the announcement of the new incumbent is imminent. Rumour has it that it will be Leek Town legend Neil Baker, the man who took us to Wembley and to the brink of the Conference although how that will work I don't know as he is still assistant manager at Crewe. We shall see.

After a serious flirtation with yet another relegation (12 points from the first 20 games) Leek Picard up quite well in the second half of the season, finishing 16th Alas, by staying up they wrecked the "Star Trek Next Generation" pun. Had they been relegated, they would, of course, have been GONE Leek Picard ;D Leek Town legend Neil Baker, the man who took us to Wembley and to the brink of the Conference Now there's a name. Brought back memories of sadly trudging away from Harrison Park after THAT semi-final in 1989-90. The look on my Dad's face; he knew he'd been cheated of his last chance to see the Boro' at Wembley. He had his stroke during Italia 90, a few weeks later. The way things have been going, it was probably my last chance of seeing SRFC at Wembley, too. I finally stopped being bitter about it several years ago, but to me Baker is the antichrist.

Well done Salisbury - I was listening to the commentary as well.
Nice to see that Telford won their final. Our turn on Saturday, I can't see us beating Luton, but I didn't expect us to beat Fleetwood 8-1 on aggregate. Getting nervous now.

Well; all things being all things, it was either promotion or relegation then! For everyone except me, Daza and Loud.
We iz dull! :-)
Everyone else gets to see new grounds; some small and quaint - Sutton get to revisit old haunts and Salisbury likewise, though their stay previously was sort of brief if I recall.....
Next season then, my personal aim is for promotion. The promotion of TT. :-)

For us at Guildford City, although we finished top of the table, Up may not happen as we are in disagreement with the FA over a ground grading issue!!. We live in hope!!

Oh good, you're still alive. I was thinking about you lot the other day, when I was sorting out my programme collection and came across a Guildford City one I did wonder where you'd got to! Well done for winning the league - I hope the ground grading thing goes your way. What's the latest on the ground situation?

Very pleased and excited about being in Connie South, always felt it's where we belong as a club. Think we may be stopping a bit longer this time. Only 3 new grounds for me though and they couldn't be much less exciting - Chelmsford's running track, Bromley and Boreham Wood. Looking forward to revisiting some old ones though, and hitting Sutton and Eastleigh for opening time.
