Maidenhead players asked to take wage cuts, and have permission to seek employment elsewhere.

Andy Gurney has been appointed manager of Weston-super-Mare permanently following a two month trial.

34 year old Martin Butler has signed for Blue Square Premier "champions elect" Burton Albion.

W&E's game postponed but the only game played in the league saw Truro beat AFC Totton away 2-0.

W&E now in 3rd, but level points with 2 games in hand on Truro, and 2 points behind with 3 games in hand on AFC Totton.

Go W&E!

Used to watch them 17 years ago when one of my (then) mates played @ #9 for them (alongside Jerry Williams).

Nice club, adequate facilities..........and anybody can forgive Keith Scott

How did Maidenhead get on???

versus Thurrock?

Postponed

[Dirk Gently]

I'm told Maidenhead are in financial trouble - recently reduced the players' wages by 50%.

Burton get out of jail free tonight, snowed off after an hour, with them behind and never looking likely to equalise.

Drawn at home to W&E in the Cup I believe - that should bring in a few hundred....

The game against Hampton will bring in a lot of bar sales, last game of the season though.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Date?

[Tredder]

25th April my friend.

Beavers are the form team.....Hampton & Richmond Borough extended their unbeaten run to eleven games with an excellent performance at Bromley winning at a canter by a two goal margin

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Shame - was hoping it was the following weekend as I'll be at Carrow Road on the 25th April.

.... bit further afield but there's a great rustling of Anoraks over the news that the mighty Terras (Weymouth to the uninitiated ) could be on the point of going under.

... and similar to the Magpies money problems - Truro's 'sugar-daddy' seems to have cooled a bit and the clubs has (reportedly) announced they are drastically reducing 'wages' for the squad - that'll see all the 'stars' and erstwhile reserves/apprentices from Torquay & Plymouth possibly seek employment elsewhere.
Though this rumour has done the rounds regularly of late - a lot of it fuelled by local 'jealousy' - particularly from Devon clubs. Will be interesting to see if their financial 'downsizing' is reflected by any results to the end of the season ?

They must have a fairly hefty Travel Bill - nearest league rivals (I think) are Taunton 120 odd miles /3 hrs away - furthest AFC Hayes 270 mles 5 hrs !

Should they get promoted they face the prospect of getting to Cambridge 350 miles/6 hrs!!

But, you'll have already qualified for the play offs, no point in going to that game m8.

Apart from ticking another league ground off the list. Perhaps one day you should add to your list of two my gr8 m8

... haven't looked back 11 games but certainly in the last 8 CONF South league games H&R are (slightly) behind Wombledon and - quite surprising this - 'The Exiles' from over the Severn.


1 AFC Wimbledon 8 7 1 0 24 4 +20 22
2 Newport County 8 6 1 1 14 5 +9 19
3 Hampton & Richmond Borough 8 5 3 0 13 3 +10 18
4 Bath City 8 5 1 2 14 7 +7 16

... top of the CONF National is a bit upsetting.....

1 Burton Albion 8 7 1 0 17 5 +12 22
2 Oxford United 8 6 1 1 15 6 +9 19
3 Mansfield Town 8 6 1 1 10 5 +5 19
4 Stevenage Borough 8 5 3 0 18 7 +11 18
5 Wrexham 8 4 4 0 17 7 +10 16

4, Beveree, Loft, Mad and Maiders, it's not extensive but full of character.

Matt (bone day) Robinson has signed for AFC Totton (soon to be playing the likes of Thatcham, Slough W&E etc)
