So what do you hope your team will achieve this year?
2011 was a fantastic year for Sutton - the Ryman League title, a much better than expected showing on our return to the Conference South, and a televised tie in the 2nd round of the FA Cup. 2012 will struggle to equal that.
I'd be very happy if we hang on to our current place in the table - 5th - which would get us into the play-offs. A second promotion would be quite dizzying, and TBH I'm not sure that the club is ready for Conference Premier football. So losing in the play-off final would, paradoxically, constitute a great achievement.

TBH I'd be happy if the second half of this season was half as good as the first half! ;D

Mid-table obscurity - please?

Being able to learn some clever tricks with the football, such as heading it away from our goal when it's crossed in, keeping it out of our net, passing it to someone in the same colour shirt on the rare occaisions it's our possesion, moving it upfield away from our goal and maybe, just maybe, forcing it into the oppositions net from time to time would be a good start for Stafford Rangers.
A third relegation looks increasing on the cards and we'll struggle in NPL division 1 South next season, too.

I haven't really followed Worcester over the last 3/4 seasons, and have only been to 4 games this. But from a results point of view they've had an excellent season and finishing top half would exceed all expectations.
I'm more interested in the FA Cup and my county challenge this year! I have to go to Everton v Tamworth on Saturday, and I have also picked my first county to go to.
I'm planning to go to a match in each of the 52 Counties of England and Wales. Rules include that each match must be at a ground not visited before and doing around one county a month on average so could take a few seasons!
I will be using a different method to pick each county - and on the 1st of January, my friend Jo picked a playing card out of the deck, with each county having been allocated a card - she pulled out the Queen of Hearts which sends me to Dorset!

I've been really looking forward to your county challenge! Edit: Left the O out of county. I swear it.

I have to go to Everton v Tamworth on Saturday Unlucky. The FA Cup has really taken you to some rubbish places this season. However, MiB, Coops and even PhilT will be there, so you could partake in a Portal reunion. Given that Ruth claimed to follow Everton and Tamworth, she may be there too, although I have no idea if she's even alive...

Can I bring this back to the original thread title? My hope is that the self-appointed Director of football, manager and all-round tosser does the decent thing and Fs RO. Off to Lincoln tomorrow, hoping for a beer outing but little hope on the field I suspect. But when has that ever worried any of us?

Good luck for tomorrow mate. What a great tie. I've never been to Lincoln City even though we played them in the Conference once. I'm sure you'll find a decent drop of ale there!

Thanks to the roadworks on the A14 (not sure I would have one that route but I wasn't the coach driver) we arrived only just in time to go striaght to Sincil Bank. Nice place, good fans, enjoyed it. Drew 0-0 but a winning draw. LC v poor so will probably sneak the replay. Expect to get ETU away in the draw tomorrow.

Well done to Carsh*alton for beating LC. Shame they're away again in the next round.
