Quick question. What does the bolding of certain team names in the fixtures mean? I thought it was highlighting the local Reading/Berkshire area sides but notice that sides like Banbury and Brackley are highlighted while sides like Finchampstead, Thame, Thatcham and Aylesbury are not.

...you're on the right lines - but it's a feature I confess I'm hardly 100% consistent with. :wink:

Wasn't aware I 'bolded' Banbury too often - they are further away than the, roughly one hour, travel range, that I started using to define 'local'. Essentially if it is a club I might consider visiting of a midweek, I classify them as local; so it's loosely based upon expected journey time from RG1 rather than distance.

I also tend to rule out clubs within the M25 too but will include clubs if they are part of a smaller collective within a league constitution i.e. Brackley in the National Vanarama NORTH, Staines in the Ryman or Pewsey/Alresford(sometimes :? )/Andovers etc in the Wessex - I would of course always consider Tadley and Fleet Spurs as being local.

In the other examples you quote above I would normally 'bold' up Finch, Thatcham & Thame but won't always bother if it's a League/County Cup match which I highlight as green- and this w/e didn't bother where the game had been called off.

As for the 'Aylesburys' - well that's just a pair of quirks that I can't really make my mind up on - 'The Ducks' (United) haven't played near Aylesbury for yonks and the other lot are also on or about the 1 hour limit. I suppose I should re-consider United as they are now playing at Thame so 'local' up to a point?

In the past I have offered up the option, for anyone to nominate (within reason) a club for 'special' inclusion i.e. I featured Guernsey for a while, even after they'd got out of the CCL and mainly for Tredder's benefit covered Hampton & Richmond and latterly Falmouth (I think?) - but that lapsed a bit when he stopped posting in this section.

... and thanks for the interest - It's always nice to get any kind of feedback/suggestions.

In my defence :mrgreen: I'm obviously following the somewhat cliched main tenet of the 'Rules of Groundhopping'

Rule No. 1.....There are no rules.

Rule No. 2.....See Rule 1.

...so you'll have to tolerate my inconsistency/incompetance ! :)

Thanks FoC that really helps my understanding.

Utterly brilliant, by the way, what you do in collating all these fixtures for us and post the insights particularly. Please keep it going 8)

The Full Time experiment went well then, already on to 'Plan B'. Step 5 football awaits. Or their ground will be sold for housing. Probably both.


Reading between the lines this is a lot more about Razzak walking away after the council pulled the rug from under their 'plan A'.


...I was a bit intrigued by the 'merge with another club' option within the multi - Plan B clauses? :?



Seems an odd thing to consider for a club the size of Basingstoke but I'd read somewhere (may only have been on their forum) about a potential merge with Tadley Calleva!!

I agree very much w. Sutekh - FoC is brilliant in doing what he does. Apart from obvious very local teams, I always thought, as the Winchester City FC supporting Reading fan, the BOLD thing was to do with whether he knew there was a reader who was interested, as generally, Winch's games are in bold. I think I know who FoC is from going to games years ago, and having spoken to a couple of old RFC mates at Maidenhead when Winch played there last season, but either way, hey ho, and keep it up.

... and one (surprising) result from last night (Monday) ....

Mon: Hellenic Premier

Binfield 3-1 Thame Utd

...only the 2nd defeat for 2nd place Thame and only Moles 2nd win since September - following their unexpected 3-0 win at 3rd placed Flackwell on Sat.

They have now leapt (if Moles can do that?) up to 7th - and bodes well for the big 'el East Berksico'/B3018 derby next Tuesday 6th Dec hopefully at the spruced up Larges Lane. :D

Elsewhere Hayes & Yeading were well beaten 0-3 at Hitchin in the SLP.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
... not many games tonight (Tue) - Woking at home to Bromley and just a few league games in the Southern League at :

Basingstoke, Slough, Marlow, Farnborough, Didcot, Wantage - Winchester City take the fairly short trip along the A303 to the Ray Mac to face Salisbury.

... and as mentioned already - Magpies up at Wealdstone in the Trophy replay. If they progress to the First Round Proper, they'll host Sluff's conquerors Wingate & Finchley

The FAT next round (scheduled w/e 10/12) also sees Nor Lye travel to Ryman 1 South - South Park from the Redhill/Reigate area.

...quick round up of midweek action:

Ugwe notched another on Tuesday night as Woking won 2-1 at Bromley

Magpies exit the Trophy losing 1-2 at Wealdstone - Tarpey a late consolation for MUFC

Staines were beaten by the same score at Enfield Town in the Ryman Prem

The severe frost wiped out over half the fixtures on Tuesday night and as far as I know all of Wednesday's local NL games.
Of the games that did beat the chill:

SLP
Basingstoke 3-2 Merthyr
Slough Town 2-0 Banbury 3-4G pitch helped of course
SL1-Central
Farnborough 2-0 Petersfield Town
Hanwell 2-1 Kidlington
Northwood 2-2 Egham
SL1-S&W
all off or Abandoned, as at Wantage who led 1-0 v Nor Lye before the ref stopped it after 20' - they'd even started 30' early but the forecast was well adrift of actual temps late in the PM and it was well below freezing a good 3-4 hours before the Beeb had called it. Local accounts were amazed the game even started and the surface was described as 'concrete'! :shock:

- quite a few games that had passed mid-PM inspections, were scrubbed out on the arrival of the match referee - bit galling for clubs and fans that had travelled or set out before the nrews filtered though.
I chose discretion over valour and stayed in - though that meant putting up with the inevitable tidal wave of Scousaphilic hogwash on the box.

Only a small scattered number of sub-STEP04 games proceeded but amongst these, in the CCLP, important home wins for Hartley W (2-0 v H.Villa) & Windsor (3-0 v Spelly) - who played very well from reading a fellow anorak's report on NLM

One game I did regret slightly not making the effort for, was a Surrey Premier Cup Tie down at Eversley & California. They were hosting a side called Nottsborough from the SAL or Southern Amateur League. Each season the Surrey FA admit one (or possibly more?) clubs from that constitution into their secondary competition - providing they are within the County I assume.
The SAL has about 20 divisions - probably all Adult sides: all beautifully structured - with all the Reserve sides in the 'Intermediate' sub-section of three divisions and all the corresponding '3rds/4th' are in the 'Junior' divisions and on down. Some clubs appear to run upwards of 10 sides.
Other names within, that might seem familiar to fans of the obscure - Crouch End Vampires, West Wickham, Old Wilsonians, Old Salesians.

Oh, and the standard can't be that bad either - Nottsborough bt E&C {SEVEN} 7-2 on the night :o - hence my regret at not making the effort. Be intrigued to see whom they draw in the next round - presumably they will be playing all of their County Ties away as they'll be midweek under lights.

Yep, Windsor's defeat of Spelthorne Sports on Tuesday night was a real treat on a bloody cold night.

A couple of new faces made all the difference. George Gould returned after a year or so away and Ellis Jones Agyeh fresh in from bottom of the table Bedfont & Feltham added steel, composure and energy in midfield - having a midfielder who doesn't get dispossessed every time an opponent comes within 5 yards of them (totally unfair of course!) was refreshing.

Experienced campaigners Kieron Knight and Ricardo Cannon have been 2 of our best players this season but they lack pace and their absence was quite noticeable on Tuesday as we really kept at it, chasing down everything, first to the ball in midfield and in Spelthorne's faces every time they came forward.

Usually we are forced (by a variety of circumstances) to change 4 or 5 players every game but it would be nice if for once we could field virtually the same 11 tomorrow.... we shall see!

Virtually same team (1 on holiday and our first choice keeper came back in from his Nike weekend) and we duly gave Camberley a nice hiding at theirs, coming away with another 3-0 win.

For the last 3 years Camberley have been paying stupid wages and given Windsor a few hidings, but they narrowly failed to gain promotion and now that the money has gone all the players have buggered off and we have a level playing field again.

Upper range is £100pw.

I'm only guessing but I would think that the Top 4 or 5 will have some players on that sort of money. From there it will go down a scale to token amounts like £30 pw but that probably most of the bottom half pay little or nothing.

I believe Windsor pay nothing except a little bit of petrol money for an away day.

Of the non-payers I would imagine that Windsor are finishing top 2 or 3.

Thame United 4-0 Tuffley Rovers
- With leaders Thatcham in Vase action the next four clubs all won to cut the lead at top - indeed top four now only separated by four points – Bracknell on a particularly good run of form with successive 5-0 away wins. Now have 7 of their next 8 games at Larges Lane.

HELL1E
Chalfont Wasps 1-1 Wokingham & Emmbrook
Headington Amateurs 1-2 Sandhurst Town
Bicester Town 1-2 Finchampstead - good win for Finch at contenders Bicester - no news about the hosts returning to their own town over the other side of the M40 - fairly sure their original ground is still there on the western edge and reportedly still being used by other 'junior' clubs.

Chinnor 4-0 Holyport
Rayners Lane 2-1 AFC Aldermaston - bit of a rollercoaster season for AFC, back at this level after a few years. They are well inside the top half but have a record of P14 W7 L7.

HELL1W
Letcombe 1-3 Shrivenham
Abingdon United {TWELVE} 12-0 Cheltenham Saracens - that declined promotion spot pre-seasonfor Sarries is beginning to look quite prudent. :?
Milton United 0-3 Easington Sports

Alresford Town 5-3 Bashley
Andover Town P-P Bournemouth - reportedly away team could not raise an XI
Portland United 1-1 Whitchurch United - good point at the side in 3rd place before KO
WESS1
Alton {SEVEN} 7-0 New Milton Town
Andover New Street 1-0 Laverstock & Ford – :shock: fairly incredible win for ANS as bottom club beat free-scoring leaders - not sure if I've got the dedication to delve back in that much detail but ANS just DON'T do clean sheets - especially not in the league against top half sides. Had just one this season before this, vs fellow perennial strugglers Pewsey. Confess I've a mind to check it wasn't 1-10!

Hamble Club 2-1 Baffins Milton Rovers - home side leap to top spot with L&F’s shock defeat
Pewsey Vale 1 3 Romsey Town
Shaftesbury 4-5 Tadley Calleva - Shaftesbury’s last 8 games have seen 50 goals aggregate scored
Totton & Eling 1-5 Fleet Spurs

Berks & Bucks FA County Saturday Intermediate Cup 4th Round (last 16)

Just read that the game where the fan had a heart attack and died, it was actually the home goalkeepers father in law who was affiliated with the club. Poor guy RIP
