    A club higher up the pyramid may come a knocking?
    Reading – he’d probably need to relocate?
    Peterborough – expected to replace DF today.

    If GM hits the rocks at Donny – then I can see AB given serious consideration for the job.

    Donny last won Sept 6th

    As Forrest Trump / Donald Gump said – “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get”

    Beat the league leaders 3-0 at home last week.
    Lost to the team bottom of the league 0-2 away yesterday.

    Football… pff!

    If Heimarmene ordains it, who are we to argue?

    Ah, but how do we get live coverage of Tuesday’s game?

    I’ll be giving it a miss – as I have the other MMC games.

    Dawson never had any pace; after his two knee injuries, he’ll be even slower.

    I foresee a propitious outcome – good weather, players returning from injury, forwards eager to kick start a scoring run, a loud rambunctious crowd, possibility of going 2nd if a couple of other results are cooperative :-)

    At half time – we sit 2nd in the ‘in play’ league.

    Westbrooke – 1 goal in 42 appearances for Donny.

    1 in 2 (?) games for us.

    Given today’s lineup , I would be more than happy with a boring, flat 1-0 win!

    Let’s hope they don’t have a new manager in place before Saturday, we don’t want their players trying to impress a new guy.

    Let’s hope Alan Dowson brings his 10% and not his 42% revolver to the gunfight on Saturday.

    Too many draws, only two teams have drawn more. It cost us promotion a couple of seasons ago, are repeating it this season. Rochdale well away with games in hand – no draws.

    Agreed, we’re not losing… but not winning enough.

    Attendance: 1,980 (101 away)

    1980 x 20 = £39,600

    Costs?
    Coach £3k?
    Hotel 16 rooms x £100 = £1,600
    Food £1,000
    Misc (laundering, players travel expenses etc) £1,000?

    Total = £6.6k

    Possibly need 17% of the match receipts to cover costs?

    @DM66
    Perhaps a 90 min+ match abandonment rule needs bringing in?
    If a match ending serious injury occurs from 90 minutes onwards – then the scores at that time are the match result?
    * How much did last night cost the club?

    The abandonment on Tuesday 2nd Sept has seen us have to play another midweek game. Lads will be tired on Saturday.

    1-1 first time.
    1-1 in the legitimised game.

    Snap.

    * “The Enterprise National League has also issued specific guidance regarding the revenue arrangements for the replayed fixture. A significant portion of the gate income will be allocated to cover the visiting team’s travelling expenses.”

    60/40 split?

    Take the point and move on to Aldershot.

    That could be a Shots 3-4 Iron game.

    Having said that, the law of enantiodromia will probably see it end up 0-0.

    As we know, the first game was abandoned in the 93rd minute.
    Why didn’t the ref just blow for full time?
    You’ve got to feel for the lads & lasses who made the journey last night – what time will they get home… 2am / 2:30am?
    What a waste of time, money & effort.

    Boycie in for Evans. Carlton for Dec. Good to see Ollie Rose back on the bench.

    No surprise with Dec… he’s not a left ‘winger’.
    AB will never see the best of him if he continues playing him as the left tine of the trident.

    Whitehall scores first half.
    W’hall off 65 mins – Dec on.
    Howe scores 85th min winner.
    Fires 1-2 Iron

    Happy journey back for our fans.
    (Fingers crossed)
