Re: Rest of the season?

Maybe no bias in the decision but completely tin-eared when it came to decision to fine clubs. Someone is going to say, it’s a dangerous precedent if you don’t fine clubs for refusing to play. But you have to look at the circumstances which were definitely not of their own making and genuinely put c...

Re: Rest of the season?

The NL has now handed out fines to the clubs who refused to play (Dover £40,000!) and given them suspended points deductions for next season. As you can imagine this is like pouring petrol on a lit fire and clubs are now being canvassed for a vote of no confidence in the NL board. If successful the...

Re: Hampton’s Heroes

I thought the centenary book was to cover the 100 years, wouldn't that be a better seller? Especially for the wider football audience? could also add things in that maybe didn't make it in to the previous book? Not sure where you got that idea from as I have only ever said that it would be a second...

Thank you Rob for your unhelpful suggestion😉can’t say I have ever heard of OCR

Re: Hampton’s Heroes

The book is about the last 20 years so not really covering players from before 2002. I thought the centenary book was to cover the 100 years, wouldn't that be a better seller?

Re: News of former players

Dwight was a very talented young player but his elevation to the pro game came after he left Hampton. He was at Wingate & Finchley I believe. Sort of one that got away.

Re: Middlesex Senior Cup??

Doubt any fans will be allowed given our elite status. A contractual obligation if ever there was one.

Re: Podcast?

Part of the issue is that furlough only applies to player signed before 31 October so keeping them on became impossible financially.

Re: Podcast?

Club announced today departure of Vilhelm, Fisher, Gondoh and Carvalho. Muir is of course on loan at Woking. Some may return next season. Meanwhile Dowse says he is going to put the whole squad on furlough if they don’t get through the next round of the Trophy. Woking are going full time next season...

Re: Middlesex Senior Cup??

I think we are approaching the likes of Brentford and Fulham regarding our centenary celebrations. You have to be realistic that the gulf between us and these clubs is huge compared to a few seasons ago and they are not going to risk fielding their top players against a Step 6 side. It would be rath...
