Hi Ev you old dog! Thought you'd been put down by now.
Saturday was a poor game BUT, to put it in context, we have a new team who play with enthusiasm and are beginning to knit together (of course strengthening will be needed in due course - but no rush). In other words, no playthings are flying out of this perambulator!
We weathered an early storm only to get mugged by half a dozen giants scaring the beegeebers out of us in the six yard box from a corner (amazed that this only happend once). Mid second half youthful enthusiasm got the better of Jayden Hutchings when he launched himself long jump style from the touchline to take out their centre forward. Whilst his subsequent banishment effectively forfeited our stake in the game our only scoring chances came shortly afterwards.
Tom Theobald will certainly have punished himself enough for the own goal without any help from us. Suffice to say that he air kicked at a back pass which had just enough pace to get over the goalline before he could recover his balance and chase it down. Let's hope he can put it behind him (if you know what I mean).
The third goal was irrelevant, by which I mean I was well on the way to the pub by then.
As I said earlier, we are watching a work in progess and there's a good atmosphere around the place. Away trips are light years more fun than the deeply depressing Isthmian South Central. However, there are still plenty of underpasses and spacious bus shelters for you to curl up in alongside your favourite bottle of white lighting (as recommended by Chris Harold).
Why not give that bus pass an airing and try a game sometime soon.

Well it's official. Isthmian League prices for park football. But all is not lost. Act now and get a whopping discount on your season tickets - but that will probably be capped for the first 1000 applicants. I can't wait to see the crowds flood back
The Barmy Bog End Army » Season Ticket Price » 30/5/2023 8:56 pm |
What an insult to all of us. I assume that they expect to get away with charging £10 a go on the gate as well.
Shame that the big hairy man has wasted his genius on designing the season ticket picture.
I don't think I'll be advertising this on the unofficial website.

John was with Busy when he managed Epsom. A real character and no wallflower! I was hoping that he would be the choice.

Thanks Mike. I'm now thinking about whether I can make the site more active for next season, given that we won't have FWP and the utter uselessness of the official site. However, I'll need help, as getting information from the club just doesn't happen and I suspect Jamie won't be encouraged to keep in touch.

Great to see the great man coming back. His managerial experience is very limited though, just a few months as player manager at Epsom, so I'll be watching who he picks as his backing singers with considerable interest. Looks like a return to IF is on the cards for me :-)

I'm updating his bio for the unofficial web site - struggling with words of more than four letters (not just because of my limited South London vocabulary (sorry - I mean word list)

Meanwhile, I was watching Godalming Town, whose fans found it both astonishing and hilarious that we've ended up with Andy P. the 0-10 at Carshalton was much mentioned.

I somehow doubt that we'll be involved in the playoffs

They all appear to be loans!
The Barmy Bog End Army » New Manager! » 07/2/2023 9:13 am |
Probably too late, but ex Fleet and Godalming man Andy Hunt will now sit alongside Ashley. Apparently he worked alongside Paul Dale.

My first visit to IF this year was purely to meet up with the lads from the 70s:
and of course catch up with the few remaining old lags. Sadly the fare on the pitch has not improved even slightly since last time (unlike the much missed curry goat from the SHAK), so I won't be rushing back!The Barmy Bog End Army » New Match day experience » 14/8/2021 7:29 pm |
Another example of how little respect is given to the club is the 'proud' statement on the official website "stripes since 1932". Really!!!

I remember struggling up to Hayes by bus, took nearly four hours with the Christmas traffic. Arrived at exactly 3:30, got settled behind the goal and two minutes later it was called off!

Yes. I can't put it down - and it was supposed to be a Christmas present from the wife! Wonder what the 1976 volume should be a real cracker. When's it going to be ready Jeff?

Why not just order a Dulwits shirt. It's pretty much the same - and it really IS your colour Dave.

Spot on as ever Mike.
What really gets me though is Mr Adkins comments regarding the fans. Year on year he has stripped away any responsibility from us, systemaically alienating fans. His other tactic has been to engage with key people or make sweeping promises at meetings, only to reverse ferret almost immediately.
It's nothing to do with money, he has simply ripped our hearts out over the years so now there's not much of the carcass left to fight for.
