Unfortunately we are about to give a team an absolute battering, as could be seen on Thursday night when we should have had 8 against Rushden.

With Billy's new signings having some time to get to know the other lads and having had a good few days to work on settling down the defence, I am pretty hopeful of a good win.

Losing 3 home games in a row is a catastrophe, but losing 4 is simply impossible.

I went to Trafford v Bacup Borough last night and it's definitely at Moss Lane according to the fans and the match programme.

Is there still a wagecap in the Conference?

If so, how can Forest Green Rovers afford to pay full-time wages on crowds of 750 (with 100 away fans)?

Time for a letter to Moulesy I reckon, I wonder what Sneaky has to say about that?

The Conference is the dodgiest league in Britain.

Me and a mate are flying down to Exeter from Manchester Airport for Monday's live game on Setanta and are coming back the next day, arriving back at Man Airport at 5.05pm.

I notice from the fixture list that your neighbours Trafford are at home on that night v Bacup Borough (who?!).

If we wanted to go to the game on our way back to York, what's the best way of getting there from the airport and how long do you reckon it would take?

Why would you pay money to watch a football match only to stand there and film it on your phone?

Very strange behaviour.

But the wagecap doesn't work though does it?

Just look at Accrington's title win 2 years ago.

In a utopian world, which I know will never happen, clubs would live within their means according to their actual income. If you have a part-time club with crowds of 800 then you should be able to survive pretty well. If you are a full-time club with an average gate of 3,000 then, again, you should be able to survive pretty well if honest people are in charge.

The problem comes from clubs whose spending and ambitions go too far beyond their actual means. The only way clubs with small crowds can be full-time is if they are bankrolled by individuals. The problem with bankrolling is that, what happens when the individuals money runs out? You end up like Canvey Island. And that's what will happen, and in some cases already has happened, to the likes of Woking, FGR, Ebbsfleet etc who will not sustain full-time football in the long term.

Well done to your club for resisting the "sh*t or bust" tendancy shown by clubs similar to you because you will still be around when they are long gone to some feeder league as an "AFC".

I claimed woking on confguide a few weeks back, I fear their time might finally be up, I remember the conference before woking and their first year up in that hidious cherry coloured kit!

I hope you are going come along in 2008-9 and watch us play Stockport and Bury when we're back in the League Peter.
