Re: Northern Premier League
Assuming we do get placed in the SLC, and I have every confidence in the FA,(sarcasm) then it would be better for us if Bedworth win, as a trip to Barton is easier.
I have fond memories of both places. I once played (a few minutes) in a Showbiz X1 charity match at Bedworth and my first ever holiday as an 11 yr old was to Barton Le Clay, it was just a village then.
Looking at the map the SLC has about half our possible opponents within 30-35 miles and the others, mainly north and west of London, 50-60 miles. The only weird exception is Godalming, but they may well be moved to the Ryman by the FA.

Re: Northern Premier League
I do agree that Barton would be easier, although I think that Bedworth will be moved to the Northern South (if they lose) no matter what.sussexdiamond wrote:Assuming we do get placed in the SLC, and I have every confidence in the FA,(sarcasm) then it would be better for us if Bedworth win, as a trip to Barton is easier.

Also agree that Godalming should be moved to the Ryman league.

Was that as an evacuee? or so long ago Ely was an Island and the sea came over to the Chilterns. Barton on Sea can anyone else remember it.sussexdiamond wrote: my first ever holiday as an 11 yr old was to Barton Le Clay, it was just a village then.
I once went to Wembley with Barton Rovers, 1977/78 FA Vase final, lost 2-1 to Newcastle Blue Star

I think he fought with Harold not against him! I'll have to see if he's featured on the Bayeux Tapestry.davealbon wrote: Were you the one who shot him in the eye with an arrow?

We only lost to the French team because we had a tough match at Stamford Bridge a few days before, which we won. And as everybody knows that's no easy task. But since that day,14th October 1066,we have never been beaten on home soil. That is some record not even Andy Peaks can match.

Yeah, the lads were knackered after the 300 mile march to Hastings. Poor scheduling.sussexdiamond wrote: We only lost to the French team because we had a tough match at Stamford Bridge a few days before, which we won.
