    Barrow game off

    Unfit pitch. Well done to the ref and home club for the early decision.

    Third round

    As feared/suspected - the FACup third round games are all too predictable: Palace v Everton (WTF?) Spurs v Burnley Sunderland v Newcastle (fair enough) Middlesbrough v Villa (???) Arsenal v Liverpool (inevitable) Wigan v Man Utd (Boring) Not a single game featuring a League 2 or non league...

    Wrexham tickets

    I have 4 adult tickets for the game at Wrexham, available to anyone willing to pay me £90 for them (they're £24 each, so total face value is £96). Row C, 26-29. I suspect they are low down behind the goal, which is why I ended up buying some different ones. So these are now surplus to...

    Harris gone!

    Fired by the sound it. Have to say, I didn’t see that coming. The Galinsons mean business!

    Club news

    Really upbeat and informative interview with Joe Comper is now on the OS. 60% of LED ad packages already sold and we're on course to break the all time ST sales record! Second order of shirts probably won't arrive until late Aug/early Sept. Sounds like the club is struggling to keep up with...

    Tomorrow

    Our family will be in the Rainham End in force tomorrow. Two from Notts, two from Manchester, two from Edinburgh! Total combined distance for the 6 of us of over 1,650 miles! As exiles, our first and only home visit this season. My last 3 games were the the defeats at Mansfield and Walsall and...

    Feel the buzz!

    After God knows how many months/years of disappointment and depression, I'm determined to enjoy every minute of what's happening now. The sudden excitement and positivity is so obvious. This transfer window is just crazy! Let's hope the players don't pop our balloon on Saturday...

    We've signed a player!

    Callum Harriott - winger, ex Charlton and Reading. Didn't see that coming...

    Bye Fred

    I assume someone has pulled that Fred thread? Shame - I was just warming up!

    On the brink

    Yesterday was very hard to take, even considering the awful season we've had. Some people on here know that I own a PR and marketing agency. It's tiny compared to GFC, but having run it for nearly 12 years I think I know a bit about business. And the more I think about it, the more I fear that...

    Why?

    Why has everything gone so badly wrong? Everyone has their own opinions, so let's have a grown-up debate on here. Here's my take: Cause number 1. Scally worked his rocks off to keep the club afloat. He deserves massive credit for that. Yes, we have a small playing budget, but it's not that...

    Just an idea

    Loving the Sweet Caroline thing. I wonder how Sweet Gillingham would sound being belted out by the Rainham End? At least it scans!

    Danny Lloyd signs

    One of those rumoured yesterday. Can't say I know much about him but Evans seems to rate him, so fair enough. And he's another left-footed midfielder.

    Season tickets

    I'm amazed no one else has yet flagged Scally's latest missive on the OS, which finally clarifies things on season tickets. In a nutshell - the club can't afford refunds. But all STHs are being asked to complete a survey which gives them the option to ask for their money back. Fair enough, I...

    Another one gone

    Kenny Jackett sacked by Portsmouth. I assume failing to secure the Pizza Cup was the final straw - after a poor run of league form.

    Loans

    At the risk of turning this back into a football forum - Is anyone else getting twitchy about the lack of new faces? I know the window's got a while to run yet, but Evans was talking before Christmas about strengthening. So what's going on? Was Evans just saying what he knows the fans want to...

    New signing

    Imminent, according to club Twitter feed...

    Karma

    Living in Forest country, I’m thoroughly enjoying how they’ve blown their play-off chances tonight. Especially sweet, remembering how they celebrated our relegation from the Championship 15 years ago.

    Happy Anniversary Gaffer

    One year in the job for Steve Evans. A roaring success so far, I'd say. Here's hoping he sticks around (assuming there's football to be played)

    Another one gone

    Burton part company with Nigel Clough - and judging by the chairman's comments, it's a cost-cutting measure in response to the impact of COVID-19. Shows just how much some clubs are suffering financially. https://bbc.in/2Th41To
