Concord Game OFF

[Up the chins]

Well their pitch is awful, it hasn’t even rained that much since they last played, they aren’t doing their own players any favours because they’re going to have to play lots of games in a short space of time. Luckily we’ve played a fair few games already so we should be ok. Funnily enough, I was looking at when it could be played and it’s very possible that it will be the Tuesday after we play them at home which will be weird and that’s even if it goes ahead then! Just under two weeks to prepare for Chatham so hopefully we will be up for that one.

One for the historians out there.....What's the record for the most times a single Hornchurch fixture has been postponed?

Better off agreeing to a double header at our place

From Ray… When we played Berkhamsted in the F.A.Vase in 2001 the game was postponed twice at their place and four times at home for the replay.

Cheers! Still a long way to go for the record!

The only benefit to this is that it gives us a chance to get some players back to fitness before the next game. You do have to wonder about the future of Concord if they keep not fulfilling their home games - unless they just don't want to play us!
