[ Sat 30th Aug ] v Bedford Town, KO 3pm FA CUP PR HOME

[sussexdiamond]

So who are the new sponsors?
Yes you guessed.
It is a Qatari company in conjunction with a Kazakstan oligarch whose brother is an Nigerian Prince (although he is currently facing some financial difficulties and may require your bank details).

They intend to inject £20billion into grass roots football over the next 5 years so that all clubs in the country from Level 7 up to the Premier League are playing on an even playing field and will all play in a new National Premier League. Each club playing 365 fixtures a season to ensure maximum Sky/BT coverage.

Their CEO is strongly rumoured to be a businessman with experience of encouraging fans to "just give" to charity and their Finance Director and PR Guru are his "cousins".

A bigger cynic than me!!
Good news from the FA Cup, we will not have to play that team from Scotland as they lost to Tiptoe Town after a replay. Not sure what`s happened to them this season as currently on a run of defeats, though they did beat Graham Street Primary School a few weeks back. They may be suffering from the Callum Earls effect which also worked for Oadby and Burwell in recent seasons. They refer to Callum as a loyal servant to the Club, does that mean he has completed 6 months with them.

A nice healthy dose of cynicism there chaps. ;) Can barely wait to overhear some gems from Grey Camo Coat Guy Oh, and the game itself of course.

Gutted I had a holiday booked for the day of this game so won't make it, but I have confidence we can beat Bedford and hopefully I'll see another FA Cup game this season at Hendon!

First game for me under the Peaks regime, looking forward to seeing us tomorrow.

Having missed Cambridge City last year, praying for some more FA Cup magic. COYD!

I've got a good feeling about this game. 3-1 Diamonds, Koriya x 2, Gearing.

Gutted I'm missing this, but a comfortable 4-1 win is going to happen. Stick a tenner on it...

I'd stick alot more on it if there was bookies covering it, betway usually does it and did the last round, but don't seem to want to put them up for today's games :(

Annoyed at this as well, think we might have been an interesting price today!
