    That is a story in itself.
    In Sunday all social media and the NLP paper on Sunday advertised the game finishing 3-1.
    However, on Monday the Saffron Walden manager gave his account of what happened then things unravelled. The local paper gave a vague report of events then it was announced the game was abandoned and Kirkley forfeited the game.

    This was a fantastic little ground, much better than I thought.
    Stanway is a small village around 3 miles from Colchester, so a lift was much appreciated.
    Stanway played some decent stuff and I expect them to be challenging for promotion this season.

    :emoticon-0160-movie It's here at last - the big showbiz blockbuster :emoticon-0160-movie

    National League (Conference to you and me) :emoticon-0103-cool: Saturday 13th November 2021 :emoticon-0158-time:

    :emoticon-0171-star::emoticon-0171-star::emoticon-0171-star: King's Lynn Town 2 - 6 Wrexham :emoticon-0171-star::emoticon-0171-star::emoticon-0171-star:

    Still, when you're in the 5th tier you have to get your money somewhere.
    It's a miracle some of these Clubs survive...

    A very pleasant ground, and a very nice young lady in the ticket office supplied us with three concession tickets, without us asking<party>.

    I remember going there back in the eighties - doesn't look much different but sounds like you got a better crowd than we did. When do we get to see the Shrewsbury pics with the slug coat?

    I'll ping over to Mr Lardiman. My files are too big, and I'm too clueless to adjust the size.
