I use both this and Facebook. Numbers have dropped on here but it is still an asset to the club and as Bob said free to use, & kindly built and maintained by Gary.
The website has always worked fine for me, red borders et al, I use Safari

I was wondering if the commentator was taking the piss with  his commentary Kossy was Kos sigh lo… Donawa was Do nar wa and Amaluzor was ama Zulu.

Can’t beat a Southern accent eh?

Justin Donowa will be back too. Some rumours around York's Mitch Hancox online.
Pleased to see another Justin back.
Cummon Bri. Stop teasing. What's the gossip?

He’s back from his loan at Chorley

A couple of questions:

- how come Lewis Baines was the captain last night, instead of Elliott Osborne who had worn it previously?

- secondly, where were the fans? Such a shame so many stayed away and missed last night's goalfest.

Lewis is more vocal than most. Probably that’s the reason.

Reason for fall off of fans is likely down to the Woking effort.

When we move it about quickly we score goals. Much better than the slow paced matches we have seen recently.

Excellent effort tonight. Wilson was my MoM he will be crucial for the run in.

Players were slipping on the pitch today. Why PP insists on watering it is beyond me.

Take no pleasure in saying this but we are simply not good enough squad wise even if we did make the playoffs. I think we have flattered to deceive a little and now our lack of depth of squad has now been exposed. Plus side we won’t get relegated negative side we wont go up this time. Hopefully the investors will stick with us. I think next season could be the one to put in a sustainable effort.

I summarise by saying let’s keep the attendances up and keep sticking by the squad.

PS hope Isaac isn’t too badly hurt, it didn’t look good though.

Mark White is certainly a character with a very dodgy dress sense but his two early subs was quite inspired

A wealthy bloke who made his money whilst a London Banker (not Cockney rhyming slang).
Also Chairman of the club..

Dont think Amaluzor will be fit to start. Same applies to Ross.

         Gould

Banks.  Cooper.  Baines.  Jones

   Osbourne. Wilson.  Marriot.

   Newby.   Con-Clarke.  Mooney

A fluid front 3

Alty 3-1 Woking (Newby, Con-Clarke,  Mooney)

Amaluzor was on the bench on Tues so hopefully he will be ok.

Epic performance. This was the red card by the way...

https://x.com/dmaudsley/status/1765139214679597335?s=20



Please don't rush to judgement solely on the basis of that particular clip though, as it only comprises the first instalment of the ongoing incident which resulted in Linney being sent off.

From my seat in the main stand, I happened to catch a good view of the whole altercation.

Following Linney's initial barge of the Dorking defender, I kept my eye focused on the two players, as verbals were being exchanged and you just sensed that a sequel was impending.

Alas, Linney proceeded (both senselessly and naively) to run back towards the Dorking player, raise his right arm and then barge into him across the upper chest with a trifle more force. Inevitably, the Dorking defender cynically capitalised on this impetuous deed by promptly holding his face and collapsing onto the turf.

I doubt that the referee witnessed the incident, so I would suspect that the red card was issued on the advice of his assistant (who was in front of the sponsors lounge at the time). Harsh, to my mind, but Linney needs to learn that such indisciplined behaviour almost cost us dear on the night and will now almost certainly result in him being unnecessarily absent for three matches at a vital stage of the season.

All I will add is that it was a pity that the same linesman wasn't quite so eagle-eyed when it came to spotting a Dorking player's assault on Marriott in the aftermath of our opening goal.

As for the game itself, that second half resembled Rorke's Drift in Zulu, only with Lewis Baines instead of Michael Caine.

Potentially a pivotal victory, both in terms of the ultimate league position and the team's morale in the wake of five consecutive defeats.
         

Love reading your eloquent summaries Barry… Long May your pen flourish Sir.

I thought Dorking were a niggly team who were more interested in roughing up our lads than scoring. I won’t be sorry to see them get relegated and it would be great if we were to confirm their demise in April, I am thinking of going to that game in Surrey.
