Yes he was their no 7. Didn't know who he was at the time but many were saying in the second half how poor he was. Where do K*ttering get all these young players from with strange names? Are they recruits from FootballCV?

Just saw something interesting on poppynet

"Bedworth game at Bideford on tuesday could be interesting, they claim they only have 6 proper players available but the league have threatened them with a fine if they dont fulfill the fixture, but they are free to sign on other players to play the game."

A fine if they don't fulfil the fixture? Correct me if I'm wrong but K*ttering had several unfulfilled fixtures earlier on in the season and weren't punished at all weren't they?! Sure a different scenario at Bedworth but no more their fault than it was K*ttering's to not pay their electricity bills surely?

That's exactly what we saying at yesterday's match. The Southern League appear to be bending over backwards to help the Ploppies. That won't go well with other league members and if I was the Bedworth Chairman I would be royally p****d off. :evil:

I don't know what the size of the crowd is at Steel Park this afternoon but listening to the Ploppies commentators it appears to be more of a case of 'spot the crowd'. :D

They're already 1-0 down after 4 minutes. ;)

Final result 1-3 with a crowd announced as 317.

Don't know why the authorities demand such high ground standards, crowds are much bigger in UCL 1. :lol: :lol:

Indeed - fancy Latimer Park having the fifth or sixth highest gate of the weekend in Step 3 and below.

Attendance at Steel Park for the Ploppies match against Weymouth is 187.

They are currently losing 4-1 with about 25 minutes of the match remaining.

Game, set and match. :D

187 is pitiful realy the guys that are working to keep it going must be wondering when the say let it die, once relegation is certain and crowds drop below 100?
