v Hemel

[Reading Rebel]

Ahead of our game on Saturday Hemel have signed striker Oliver Lynch from Luton Town. 

[Rebellier]

19 years old,  on loan.

[Irishadrian]

Expecting a tough game. Hemel are as far down the table as they are mainly because of their terrible away record with 9 defeats None of the 10 teams between 15th and 24th have lost fewer home game than Hemel  Could be a harder game than form and positions suggest!

 

[Rebellier]

No sign of any player movement in or out that Scott mentioned?

We may have been turned down and still speaking to targets?

[SloughFlyer]

Hemel have added a new midfielder. Played for AFC Croyden but previously of Wealdstone, Chelmsford etc so plenty of experience. 

[GlenSTFC]

Anyone actually think the game will go ahead?

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

looking at the weather forecast tomorrow and tonight it looks as though the game going ahead will be doubtful i think the pitch will be frozen

So, if it was at AP with same overnight temps, you would expect it to be off as well, as HH is a 3G pitch.

Problem is it’s not as simple as having the pitch playable. If the terracing, flat standing and any walking areas within the stadium aren’t safe the game will be called off.

Yep,.

Same reasoning is still valid, for BOTH areas, especially as AP has metal stands.

Hemel now announcing arrival of defender Mazeed  Ogungbo from EFL2 Barrow

[Markskelton]

Another pasting 😒

[Windsor Rebel]

Absolute shite. A poor team lacking in defence and attack. Relegation fodder.
