1973, Kent win The Sunday League ( again ) & The Benson & Hedges Cup.
Now you’re talking!
How did Slurrey do?
Oi.
Knocked out in the group stages of the Benson and Hedges Cup; tenth in the John Player League. And, during the following winter made the decision to bolster their squad by offering to sign both Benson and Hedges and offered the captaincy and a lucrative, long-term contract to John Player.
I've inboxed AFKA to tell him that the bullying of Surrey supporters on here has gone too far. He has promised me that several Kent and one Worcester supporter will receive lifetime bans unless they collectively come on here and appolagise unreservedly.

I heard the opposite and he was blocking all IP addresses from sub Sahara Africa?

Heard that some Israelis are being showed round the training ground and have already handed in paperwork to the EFL
Aussies take note 😉
Are you able to expand on that? It would be interesting to know where you heard that and what else you heard about "some Israelis".
Heard they came from the Brighton area and it was being brokered by Steve Gallen. Sale to be announced tomorrow.
I'm joking of course at the expense of the potential incoming transfers and don't actually see us being sold till at least January now, but i've given up trying to second guess Roland so who knows.
I just hope Roland isn’t thinking of hanging around now the running costs have been lowered. Perhaps he thinks we might go on a run so he can put the price up again? Perhaps he’s even dreaming of the Premier League 😩
Given the unprecedented transfer window, and assuming that at least some of the rumours are true (we turned four multimillion pound bids down for Taylor?) I do wonder what has changed. Have we been taken over and the announcement has not yet been made. It all feels very odd at the moment.

I think he’s worked out we’ve brought in enough money to at least break even, hence Bowyer getting some of the Dijksteel money to spend on the squad.
While waiting for a ridiculous offer for the club he can wait and see how the team get on. He said something around our budget doesn’t mean we have no chance in one of his statements. If Bowyer pulled off a miracle and we went up again he’ll probably get his money back.

If it’s true we had the lowest budget in the division, promotion would seem unattainable.

I wonder if budget has increased?
Increased but still easily the lowest is my guess.
Or having lost all the buyers due to his silly price and silly games he realised he was going to still own the club this season.
He then had the choice of allowing it to go down with a whimper, which would have decreased its value, made him look bad and ramped up protests, or allow Bowyer to at least have a fighting chance of staying up.
For all the credit rightly given to Bowyer and Gallen they haven't spent very much and nothing at all compared to many other championship clubs.
Oof. That was a day in the life. Blinking in the morning sun, and reading posts above I too have the feeling that something has changed. Obviously we didn't throw fee money around but some of those players have to be paid a decent wage. And yes, other Championship clubs had cash to burn but some don't, because they don't have parachute money. But for me the most significant thing was holding the line on Taylor, both from the playing side, perspective and the behaviour under dealing pressure. @Airman Brown wrote a couple of days earlier, that Brentford knew how to play Duchatelet after the Konsa deal, and that rang true to me, but yesterday it didn't work for them, and they seem to have rather shafted themselves as a result. Satisfying in itself, but unprecedented in the Douchebag era, is it not?
I am not going soft on resolve that he must be persuaded to sell, and ideally before the next window, but I think those of us with possibilities to do so (including Fans Forum attendees) should try to get some intelligence on whether possibly the budget did increase upwards a bit, and/or whether somehow Bowyer has established a trust level with RD that others never managed. Some insight on this would help us shape the nature of protests/ pressure that we should now exert on him.
The portals of hell stayed shut, its a beautiful morning (here anyway) and we go into a game tomorrow with Lyle Taylor leading the line and another Wembley hero returning. We cannot get carried away and Stoke will be a handful, but let's drink in the moment. In a small way I think we all won, yesterday.

It's just not football.

Something doesn't add up, does it ....
