All Activity

Saw the result on Saturday but only heard about this disgraceful behaviour when I saw the Board's press statement today. I cannot believe that our supporters would chant such vile things to anyone, let only a teenage girl! I remember the disgust of many ETFC fans when one of our younger female fans who was selling 50:50 tickets at an away game at one of our near neighbours (Essex based) many years ago, was on the end of some foul chanting, and now some of our own stoop to this level. I thought things were looking worse at the end of our play off semi last season with abuse being hurled towards ex-Towner players and even the threat of physical violence spilling onto the pitch. I hope our club deals with this problem in the correct manner. Let's hope that this Saturday's game being one for the local community can see the better side of ETFC.

Update: Grays have been kicked out of the ESC. Canvey will now face Concord in the QF

How do we see this affair at Creasey Park going this evening:

Can Leighton Town put one foot into the Southern League Division One Central this evening:

Not SSML but Biggleswade FC take on AFC Dunstable tomorrow evening (8 February) at The Eyrie in another Quarter Final tie, Biggleswade FC shocked Biggleswade Town at the Carlsberg Stadium in the First Round of the competition on penalties following a 1-1 draw (see an informative report). The winners of this tie will travel to Kempston Rovers or Potton United in the Semi Final with Biggleswade United or Luton Town travelling to Arlesey Town or Bedford Town who lock horns at Hitchin Road next week: https://www.biggleswadefc.co.uk/Matchreport.aspx?id=628805

Kempston Rovers do interesting match previews on their website, this should be an interesting affair: https://www.kempstonrovers.org/teams/114716/match-centre/0-5519163

Highlights, firstly from the embarrassing abandonment at Cow Lane on Saturday 28 January and then, exactly six minutes into the video, highlights from Tring Athletic's excellent 2-1 win at Oak Park in Walsall the following week:

Rugby Borough should get the win tonight closing to within 3 points but with two extra games played. Bedford is going to have to play very well this month or could let a number of teams back into the fray. I don't consider Rugby the only competition down the stretch for the league crown. Ampthill Town, Rangers and Chenecks all actually stand equal to or above Rugy in points per game. They are all right there and a single loss to any of them eliminates any cushion you once had. Of course, if we can manage some head to head wins there we can start to dream of the premier division next season.

Was so good to see you at Leverstock Green Karen on Saturday along with the other SSML Committee members and loved the boardroom banter. You truly are a credit to our league 👍

Have to ask the identified if they d be happy if this was sung about their mum/ sister/daughter. Probably get a stupid reply. As stated before this isnt great just before the day to increase female fans. Hope the club make an example of them. Saying the other club shouldnt serve beer is a poor excuse. Do better Towners.

Two Quarter Final ties tomorrow evening including 'the big one' at Second Meadow: Tuesday 7 February Bedfordshire FA Senior Challenge Cup Quarter Final Biggleswade United v Luton Town Kempston Rovers v Potton United

This will, be an interesting affair on Wednesday evening: Wednesday 8 February (kick off 7.45pm) Hinchingbrooke Cup Quarter Final Eaton Socon v Pinchbeck United

How do we see this affair going, incidentally what has happened to 'you know who' aka Loudmouth BFC, who has not been spotted since attending the Letchworth Garden City Eagles v London Tigers fixture on Saturday 19 November, my guess is that he has ruffled feathers with the hierarchy at the Pixmore Playing Fields, similar to Always Leighton at Leighton Town, and has walked away from the Club which is a shame:

Sorry to sound like a broken 45rpm, sorry, 78rpm record but as stated previously the FA Vase prize money is absolutely 'criminal' isn't it, Tring Athletic will receive just £2,250 if they beat Bury AFC on Saturday afternoon:

Cruz- Yes, I didn't see that result coming however I see that Rugby Borough travel to Rushden & Higham United tomorrow evening so they will still be just three points behind Real Bedford going into Saturday's games, Northampton Sileby Rangers won't be pushovers at McMullen Park will they:

Would any females want to attend the first team game being promoted to attract them if they hear of this ‘bad news item?’ I fear not.

Tring Athletic, the only SSML survivor in the competition at the Fifth Round stage, entertain North West Counties League Premier Division Bury AFC on Saturday afternoon. I wonder whether the kick off time might be brought forward an hour to avoid a possible repeat of the embarrassing floodlight failure that 'plagued' the Fourth Round tie with Walsall Wood: https://www.tringathletic.co.uk/news/fa-vase-5th-round-vs-bury-afc--3pm-saturday-11th-february-2759306.html

Been looking forward to this.. Billericay

It's interesting that ever since former 'influential' Berkhamsted Raiders Chairman Keith Pollard stepped away from the Club it has all gone very quiet on the Western Front with regards to Berkhamsted FC's controversial move from Broadwater to the backwater Bourne End site. You have to wonder whether Mr Pollard was deviously behind 'the venture' the entire time, from day one, and the likes of gulliable Independent' Chair of the Berkhamsted Sports Ground Charitable Association Limited (BSGCA), Paul Forster, and self-important Chair of the Dacorum Sports Network, Howard Wells, weren't really that fussed if the move went ahead or not as they would not gain from it personally, unlike the arrogant Mr Pollard.

What a result for Eynesbury United on Saturday afternoon who proceed to the Semi Finals of the Huntingdonshire FA Intermediate Cup and join St Ives Town Reserves, Warboys Town and now Stilton United who won on spot kicks at Eaton Socon Reserves on Saturday following a thrilling 3-3 stalemate: Saturday 4 February Huntingdonshire FA Intermediate Cup Quarter Final Eynesbury United 1 Stanground Sports Youth 0
