nope; it never rained once during the game but I expect there'll now be moaning about the sun getting in their eyes. It's Bromley's fault of course for building their ground the wrong way round! :~D

A spirited performance, but nothing to show. Lady luck could have been kinder. I think (with respect) that's just deluding yourself to the obvious ~ if they carry on like that away from home they will be relegated! Gifting them the final third of the pitch because Young is hiding from Minshull afte...

Sitting in the directors box was not a 'privilege' last season; it was paid of as part of a commercial sponsorship.....and the away fans DO get access to a proportion of the limited cover at that end of the ground: http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w517/capitalgull/AwaySeg_zpse3mxaqil.jpg I'll be ...

Just as BTPIR recommended at the start of the week!

I will do as you suggest and go into the heart of the Bromley end with my TU replica shirt, singing a few renditions of 'Come on you Yellows' Think I stated I was going into town for a drink, no pub up or down the road from the ground Merse to save you looking........... There is a fine pub only te...

Are ALL Plainmoor matches not segregated? MellowYellow ~ What a ridiculous moan for the sake of moaning........if you don't want to use the away facility apply some brain power and go in the home areas as I nearly always do. If you want to drink indoors, go to the nearest pub up the road as most sen...

As a matter of fact, replica kits were first made available in 1977 and they were made in Plymouth by Pilgrim Sports; a company introduced to Plainmoor by Mike Green. They didn't go down at all well as did neither the actual kit worn by the team manly I think because it had replaced the iconic trip...

I was a ballboy whilst Merse was Club Secretary and I seem to remember Martyn Goulding (Excellent local cricketer) also being there. That was the era of the yellow and blue squares on the front of the programme, priced 12p I was never club secretary ~ Dave Easton was throughout my time at Plainmoor...

Don't know if Lew actually had to hold any shares other than the ones he already held to be the chairman once the Webb gang got hold of it and when he was a director on the Boyce board, the problem was the inequality between Mr Boyce's financial commitment and the sum total of all the rest put toget...

Akinfenwa also scored plenty of goal that season. It was largely because of him that we only narrowly went down. Had we not had to rely on the likes local league players like Bond, Gosling and Story plus the ridiculous saga with keepers, bayo's goals would have been enough to keep us up. Indeed; he...

lew seemed a quiet bloke and more of a fan....any memories anyone or anything to do with lew pope I'd be interested I worked for the club when Lew was a director and quiet he wasn't! He could be irritating, irascible, combustible and unpredictable; but he loved the club with a passion and could nev...

If you want to blame someone for the relegation blame Adebayo Akinfatwat who made it pretty well known he was off despite the fans voting him player of the season. What a stupid statement to make..........like every other footballer, Bayo is a self reliant worker in a time constricted profession . ...

It means that the Truro chairman missed yet another Truro away match in favour of going to Plainmoor. Him and Rich were the main protagonists in the 'deal that Masters brokered' if you care to believe that...........watch Masters like a hawk!

The first tranche of the three part GI loan came in during the early Spring of last season when the extra demands on the playing budget were necessary to strengthen the squad. Dave Phillips confided to me as early as the game at Chesham (in the December) that things were so desperate they might wel...

Scouting is everything and to assume that a certain area is devoid of potential is nonsense. I live in an area and have worked in football in an area where the exact opposite is true and clubs are drawn to it like bees to pollen yet (in my opinion) they often eschew a lot of the talent because they...
