So, assuming our survival in the BSP is confirmed, it looks like good news for us southern exiles but bad news for the majority of travelling Alty fans?

It now looks like relegated teams will be Halifax, Farsley, Stafford and Droylesden. Combined distance from Alty = approx 170 miles
The promoted teams will be Kettering, Barrow, Lewes and Eastbourne. Combined distance from Alty = approx 750 miles

And just so I don't get accused of wishing Halifax down before it's confirmed ... it would be even worse for them were they to survive.

Living as I do in SW London its absolutely fine by me. Replace Farsley and Droylsden with Lewes and Eastbourne, Oh yes I think I'll have some of that!

Add to that a revisit to the awesome Alexandra Arms in Kettering........if it does happen its lookin' good.


PS my Peake rating is accelerating, WTF have I done now or is it still those FCUM plonkers stalking me! If someone has an issue with something just be a big boy and say why perhaps?

My peake rating went mad the other day.  Very weird!

I become an exile this summer, so if we stay up I'll be VERY grateful.  Looking forward to experiencing some of the clubs darn sarf.

Can't we just keep Goodwins & get rid of Peakes?

As I said to you all last season Salisbury is my nearest game to Andover, but I have a brother that lives 8 miles from Lewes and my mum lives in Eastbourne. Eastbourne and Lewes will do very nicely. I do not know if I can put up with stress of the Salisbury game again, after being 3-0 up and only get a point.

Cheshire Terrier were you the guy myself and my mate talked to on the way out after Woking last season. We chatted along till the pub stopped us?

Yes  SW it was me but I forgot to ask you if you were part of the fans forum at the time. I should probably have put it on the forum as a question after I had met the two of you. I would be pleased to meet up with you guys again next season, if the reprieve is confirmed. I try to get to all of Alty's away games up as far as Kidderminster.
