How bizarre. Imagine my surprise opening a thread titled "Crap" (in a non-league forum no less) and find it's not about Dorchester! Woo-hoo. We are though. Utterly. Some of the little gob-shites who follow us are very excited by the prospect of us pissing the Southern league next season. I'm thinking they've not being paying much attention to quite how toilet we've been this year.

You would go many a long year to beat the season of utter futility suffered at Stafford Rangers this season. Seeing the way that our players have performed in the black 'n white stripes sets a myriad of words buzzing around my head, the more polite ones being: Trash, garbage, waste, rubble, wreakage, detritus, swill, dross, dregs, cigarette-ends, junk, rejects, discards, riff-raff, refuse, codswallop, eyewash, refuse, hogwash, bosh, tosh, baloney and bilge!!!!!

What stings the most is that our season started with such promise. A big money man steps in, turns us full time and fills our noggins with dreams of glory. Well bah and bah to that. With the money forked out for poor full time players we could have had a cracking part time team, built some momentum, gained fans and then gradually turned pro. Instead we've dropped a league, pissed money up against the wall and lost about 20% of our fanbase...
Maybe it's a black and white stripes thing.

It has been a weird year for you. Like you say, so much hope and promise early on - the start of a new era - but to end up as you have, with so much money spent, smacks of gross incompetence by someone at one level or another... On a positive note, I think you'll enjoy the SLP. Especially if it's just for a day-trip, as such!

Has been posed before; but given the woe betide, doom and gloom, black cloud of Bergmanesque proportions which is the theme of this thread... WHY DO WE DO IT?? ;D I'll suggest here & now that I am one of the lucky ones... or am I? Next season I will be able to hit certain away games only, having finally relocated (and it 'aint Widget either) so will become a fully fledged ground-hopper. I have lots of grounds to collect; there's room on my hat for many a pin yet, after all: But hopping will not spare me the pain, nor prevent the euphoria - but it might offer distractions. I may even hire myself out. "Let me share your pain" I shall say in grandiose, almost messianic style. Any takers??

On a positive note, I think you'll enjoy the SLP. Especially if it's just for a day-trip, as such! Gross incompetence! Hmm, not half. In some respects I'm livid at the players for the lack of effort put in but a good portion of that has to go down to the man who brought them in, motivates them and decides the squad. Sean Brooks certainly seems to have the footballing know-how of a pencilcase. Our main problem has been persisting with this full-time lark long since it was obviously not working. The only way we could fun it was to use inexperienced kids but they've been kicked from pillar to post all season. They just don't get how physical the lower leagues are and rather than growing up, they all had sulking fits! Rubbish. On a positive we have signed a couple of decent players from you (Salisbury) on loan. Danny Clay and Nick Eastham both are quality - Clay especially. If we could sign them properly then that'd be a massive boost for next year. Still, we beat Stevenage!!! In the face of the majority of Conference clubs!

Because the occasional good times outweigh the days/months/seasons of pain and suffering and are all the more enjoyable and memorable for it!

Danny should do a good job for you, Matt, and if he's inclined to stay next year, then he'll spearhead a promotion charge, if allowed to play in central mid. He works full-time in Salisbury, so it's hardly far for him to travel. Eastham's unproven yet, being only 18 or 19, but many of us think he's got what it takes. He's bulking up well, and is very quick over short distances, and quite stubborn. Should benefit from regular first team football within a settled squad. Also works full-time in Salisbury, I believe. Where are you off to then, ISIHAC? Doubt it's anywhere prettier than Emsworth?

What's this Salisbury fixation that we play him in any other position than centre-mid?? I've heard it from more than one person now that we're playing him as a centre-back! Oh wait, is it because we're making him wear no. 4?? He's our Stevie G at the moment! Nick doesn't look like he'll be prolific (only one goal so far and from a foot out!) but he's strong, runs and worries defenders constantly. I think he'll only get better with time. I remember us letting Tubbsy go because he wasn't getting the goals and was too young..... That showed us. It's like you're returning the favour!

We're 1-0 up from the away leg of the Worcestershire Senior Cup final

It's nothing other than the fact that when he first joined us our Manager persisted with playing him out of position - usually on the wing - seemingly for months, and he never really settled or cemented himself a place in our Squad as a result.
