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?

Thanks for your support. As you know the Spectrum will never be the greatest ground but we have done a lot of work there and spent a lot money. Unfortunately we failed on a cosmetic issue, but we are going to arbitration. www.getsurrey.co.uk/sport/football/s/2093025_football_city_prepare_for_groundgrading_battle

Good luck to Guildford - ground grading is an absolute pain and I hope you get through it.

Anyway - off to Manchester in the morning. I feel dreadful, never felt like this last time we were in a play-off final. Arrrrgggghhhhhhh!!!!!

[ambersalamander]

Only 2 new grounds for me I think: Chelmsford and Truro.

[loudefc]

Got a feeling Young Meadow might be floating home tonight.
Am so bloody pleased that you won today.
Tinpot in div 2 awsome ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[davetscfc]

Guess we set the tinpot trend for play off winning penalty shoot outs this season

Well done Meadow and AFCW

If I were here, I wouldn't have gone home last night. I'd be starting to crawl home about now ;D

Congratulations Dons and Meadow!

[Meadow]

Thanks all. I kept my partying pretty brief last night. Coach arrived back at South Wimbledon about 11:45 and I left the pub at about 1:00. Off to the ground now for some serious stuff. Sal, if you get some drunken texts, just ignore them ;D

[Sultan of Cannock- SRFC]

Congratulations, Meadow and well done to Wimbledon.

8 promotions was it in 10 seasons or something like that? Good luck- onwards and upwards. As you disappear over the horizon if you just glance back in the direction of Stafford Rangers you may just glimpse a hand in the air.... not waving, but drowning.......

Hi all (well nearly all, some have seen me since I last posted)

I have been busy since I last posted. I have been ill health retired / made redundant from the railway after 30 odd years, and have only just come to terms with my new situation. I have been fortunate to get a little part time job at the club (Sutton U), as a sort of caretaker which gets me out of bed in the morning.

Having not been on here, or other of these boards (CN, CS) I hadn't heard that Meadow was unwell. By the sounds of it you're back to normal, thank God for that.

I am nearly over my recent illness, which was brought about by the redundancy thing, and getting back to sort of normal.

Of course U's won the Ryman League and I'm looking forward to watching Conf. S football next season. As someone else said on here I feel we're back where we belong.

[Sultan of Cannock- SRFC]

Hi, bh. I'm glad to hear that you're coming through it now. It's a horrible situation to be in and you've had it far worse than i did. Keep going and all the best.

Like you, i feel that my team are probably back where they belong. Unfortunately after relegation...

[peekay]

Reasons for optimism at your place Sultan?
Got yourself a fine new manager there. He's done a terrific job at Newcastle Town and at Alsager before that.

[Sultan of Cannock- SRFC]

Hi Peekay. I'd heard rumours that he is a bit "route 1" but as long as the route points upwards instead of downwards i'm happy.

Cheers Sultan.
