You really do know everything. You would be surprised if I did go and we met up!

According to Falmouths twitter page it's had an inspection and is good to go !

Thanks Mike - I remember the 2 Chertsey ties well in 87/88 - unlucky not to win the 1st game at Chertsey and the replay at Bickland played in terrible weather when we all thought that the game wouldn't be played.

Yep come on Alan ! You know you really really really want to .👍

Not starting a new thread but would just like to add that City have signed versatile midfielder Ryan Dixon on loan from Torquay United till the end of the year.

Just do your best, as long as you've a basic knowledge of the laws of the game I'm sure any team would be grateful for your help.

Is your statement evidence based or just unnecessary sarcasm ? From what I understand those responsible for the successful running of The SWPL, year in, year out, are volunteers. If this is indeed correct then I'm sure they find your comment somewhat harsh.

There you go again Al starting a nonsense conversation. Change the record Al. You have been offered free admission countless times, swallow your nonsense. Man up and turn up, you'll be welcomed I'm sure.

I'm sure that the club would give you free admission just to have you back in the fold. You may even enjoy the singing and banter.

St Blazey 0v0 St Dennis. Att. 60+ Hardy souls braved the evening which didnt turn out to bad. The pitch is still in one piece. Credit to St Dennis who defended really well. St Blazey probably had 80% procession but didnt do enough with it. To slow or wrong options. Frustrating but another point on the board. Thanks to everyone for their patience while we sorted the floodlights. One side went bang at 6pm and luckily we had someone on hand to help us out. On to Saturday and a trip to Launceston.

Having been a club secretary , manager plus everything else that's involved in running a club ( net putting up , pitch cutting , line marking , kit washing and so on, and so on ) and also a member of a league management committee , I can see both sides of the problem . From the league perspective you have to follow the rules and do what you think is right for other clubs and impose fines for calling games off even though you may have sympathy for the offending club . From the club point of view the money has to be found to pay the fines , its very , very rare for the players to contribute to the £50 call off fine . Several call offs soon mount to hundreds of pounds . The annoying thing about the situation , certainly as I found it , is that some of the reasons for a player calling off ( not all I hasten to add ) is a total lack of commitment to the club . Once upon a time the time between 5,00 o'clock on Saturday afternoon to 2.00 o'clock the following Saturday afternoon was a total waste of time . You had to fill the time by going to work , eating , sleeping and socialising until the most important thing in life KICK OFF .Sadly this is no longer the case for many players ," my sisters dog is ill so I have to be with her ", " I'm going Christmas shopping " ( in October ? ) and one of the most annoying , from the captain and star player , " my girlfriend wants to see the seals on the beach this afternoon "( the beach in question is a mile and a half away from the football pitch ) . As a result of several such call offs the secretary is faced with a problem more complex than B****T , does he call off with 9 players and pay the fine or does he risk attempting to play with 9 and the other players refusing to play without a full team ? . I think most secretaries take the situation regarding calling a game off as a personal defeat and do it reluctantly and then worry about finding the fine money . The players responsible aren't particularly concerned because someone else will find the money and find time to ring all the parties involved to tell them the game is off , BUT !!!!!! woe betide the manager if " he doesn't pick me next week because my mates won't play if I'm not playing " Apologies for a boring post , I don't have the excuse of bad weather to post on the best forum in football as the sun is bright here in Norfolk and my allotment needs digging over .

Need to make sure you’re fit!
