Sutekh 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.

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?

Sutekh 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

Four Of Clubs ...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'!
- 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 - 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.

Royal Rother 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.
