Repeat until voice conks out. So, welcome the former WFC right winger as our new manager. A man we all know, at least as a player, and somebody who may have past connections but at the same time doesn’t seem the panicky nostalgia choice (a la Jason Euell). Those who were hoping or expecting –
I don’t think there’s much to say about the Plymouth game, as I think we’re still in shock. Last minute goals? Even if they were massive deflections? A team that actually doesn’t have the weight spread across various shoulders? Or were Plymouth simply crap? Whatever, it’s nice to have this rarity of three points and
It may have taken a few games longer than it should have done, and it may have come to a head in what amounted to be a very teary time at KM last night, but the inevitable has now finally happened. Terry Brown is gone. As you can tell, SC is gone too, although given
In football, as in life I suppose, the only time to be surprised by something is when something non-surprising happens. After I finished my, ahem, vigourously argued last update, deep down I knew that I wouldn’t be writing about TB’s sacking but instead be “eagerly” awaiting more games with him in the proverbial hot seat.
This entire piece may end up being redundant by the time I press the “publish” button, and it might come back to haunt me at some point, especially if we suddenly remain unbeaten until Boxing Day. But currently, on the morning of Sunday, 26th August 2012, it’s exactly how I feel and how I see
Admittedly, this passed me by until somebody pointed it out today, but ten years ago the first game of the AFCW era at Gander Green Lane kicked off. It’s almost impossible to comprehend how far we’ve come since that warm day a decade ago, and what the reaction would be. My own personal memories of
Time flies, doesn’t it? Today is the once-a-year AFCW equivalent of Remembrance Sunday. You know exactly where you were a decade ago today, when the cataclysmic news came in. And my own anecdote from this day in 2002 : I was in an office just off Thornton Heath high street, getting a phone call around
If it’s late November, it must be time for the annual AFCW PLC accounts. Like last year, SW19 asked Nick of Woking again to give a run-over of the things that really make AFCW tick throughout the year. His conclusions for the last year are below, and mine follow afterwards. Take it away, Nick… (important
It almost went under the radar, but last week the club finally announced that it was after a new Communications Executive. A poshe, some would say grandiose way of saying “Press officer”, but makes a bit more sense than the strangely titled “club journalist” role of years ago… Position wise, it’s something we’ve never quite
An anniversary can be a double edged sword at the worst of times. Normally, it’s a celebration of some kind – your wedding, your birthday, first job, first grope, a defining victory, that kind of thing. On the flip side, an anniversary can also refer to somebody’s death, or some other tale of woe that
