I remember Eric Shreeve too although I was probably only 10 or 11. Seem to remember his forte was the headed flick on from near post corners.

Hi SW.  I saw Dave Furnival play!  Wasn’t he a Les Rigby signing?

I can’t remember USA it was a long time ago. I felt it was before Rigby but I’ve never been good at matching time and events past. He was terrible though no doubt about that.

Sorry thought you meant in a single cup match, so the Trophy. Most recent silverware probably the NPL Champions Trophy in 2018 but I think you might get some sort of trophy for winning the play offs?

I think getting a decent striker/forward is more important than worrying about the Trophy

The potential financial benefits to be gained from progressing in the Trophy would strengthen our power in the transfer market.

While I think Trophy success is long overdue and a realistic target this season, the money received for winning a tie (at home anyway) just provides compensation for the half gate receipts we have to give to the opponents.

Forest Green, Fisher Athletic, Hashtag United, Concord Rangers, Corinthian Casuals.

Very poorly organised there, unbelievably no toilets or food facilities in the away end and you have to gain access through the home stand to use toilets in the clubhouse where there were huge queues. Not sure that is really acceptable in a segregated ground in the National League
Stewards however   Nwere friendly and helpful which is a change from some of the southern grounds we visit.

As a teenage Alty fan back then it was rather helpful that both Doncaster and Rotherham fans sided with Alty and protected our outnumbered group from the Scarborough contingent. There was a lot of trouble during that protracted encounter.

I’d love to see more of Everton away in 74, not just the goal. Although I was there as an 11 year old I remember little of it. John Hughes still looks yards offside every time I see the goal but the coverage doesn’t show the pass.
