It looks like he (Sedoc) is 22, and was playing for Koninklijke Haarlemsche FC in the Dutch Topklasse Sunday (level 3) last season, but he only made a couple of appearances, and was usually on the bench. I can't track him down anywhere this season. There are also a couple of clips of him on YouTube showing his pace.

After a conversation at yesterday's match, I have had a look through old tables for the most goals conceded, and, as far as I can see, it's 146 from 42 league matches in 1928-29. We only finished 3rd bottom that season.

At least, that's one record we should (I stress should) be able to avoid breaking.

Apologies to George's Moustache. I had obviously read Les Spencer as Lee.
I hope it was an interesting diversion, at least. (searching for a blushing emoji).

Fair play to him, I remember him standing with us (quite balanced with a snack in each hand) and joining in with the singing and shouting at officials etc.  However, have I got it wrong that some Alty fans had a bit of a chant at him and he got a bit upset and walked off?  Maybe I dreamed that bit?

I think you may have got Tony Sullivan and Tony Kelly confused. I can remember Tony Sullivan, who was pretty large himself, although not in Tony Kelly's category, singing along in the last game of the season in April 2003.

As someone who's veering between the second and third categories, (ambivalent and losing faith in the board) depending largely on what happens until the end of the season and then the managerial appointment,  I still don't think it's time for a phoenix club.

The difference with Vics and many other clubs is that, while the board have made poor decisions, with the benefit of hindsight,, they have been made in what they they thought were the best interests of the club, and that is completely different to the likes of Rushe and Connett.

So, I agree with York Alty, for now. I hope we don't have a fans' club, with the proviso that they may change depending on what happens next season - let alone the problems of finding a ground and a league to play in as the North West Counties League is full, for once, this year.

I didn't go so can't comment too much, but obviously an excellent result in a tie which looked like such a potential banana skin. I also liked the look of the team - pretty strong, but with one or two experimental changes - which I thought was right for this competition. As one of those experimental changes, Laurence Taylor, seemed to have another excellent game, it must be approaching time for him to appear on the bench for a league game.

I hate to be negative, but we surely all know we are going down.

Maybe Buzz and co can get us ready for an attempt at an immediate return - there have certainly been signs of that at Blyth and at FC United - but I really don't see how any new manager could make a difference for this season.  I think the board's decision that we carry on as we are, getting the odd point here and there, is a strong hint of he they see the future.

No problem with the Curzon man commenting, and I am sure the original statement wasn't meant maliciously, but it just shows how the club hierarchy have different priorities and don't appreciate our severe predicament.
