The B-Ark / Re: Best non league team.

« on: August 12, 2020, 01:25:47 PM »

In the early 70's I would put us top of the pile.  Our records against Wigan and Wimbledon ( spit ) was very nearly 100%. Due to old pals act they got in the league.

The B-Ark / Best non league team.

« on: August 12, 2020, 08:37:53 AM »

I have just read Ken's excellent piece on York Street.  The stats are impressive.  It got me thinking.  Where do we come in the all time table of THE BEST non league clubs?  Taking into consideration overall achievements, standard of ground and average gate etc.  I think Yeovil must be up there, they always seemed to have a good cup run.  Gates were always good, and I think the ground was better than non league standard.  I know they are in the league, but for purpose of this thread, it's non league achievements only.  Spurs were the only non league team to win the FA cup ( my mate says last time they ever won anything.)

I would put us in the top 10 easy.

I think CE has stuck with the keeper he brought in. George was always going to be moved on.

I would like to buy one of the old ones for the garden.

So would I.  I had plod pay a visit once, saying my security light was too bright.  I live in the middle of nowhere.  Erecting one of them would get a visit from the flying squad

I know Covid19 has put the spanner in the works, but as long as Premiership clubs are okay, that's all that matters.  Story of life really, small man gets sh*t on.

The B-Ark / Season Tickets

« on: August 04, 2020, 01:16:19 PM »

Due to knocking on a bit, I've decided this year to buy a season ticket for the main stand.  I have one or two questions, I wonder if any of you know the answers.  Having only ever had a standing ticket, can you tell me if season tickets are allocated by seat number?  If so my family and I would have to buy the tickets at the same time so we can sit together.

Other question concerns parking.  With limited parking I would think I would have to buy a permit.  Do you think these will be available inclusive when buying a season ticket?

I have slept on it.  My opinion is this. I think yesterday was the right result for the club in so many ways. The team we have is nowhere good enough to compete at a higher level. It would need major money spending on it.  We would be a part time team in a full time league. 

We are moving to a new ground, with all the costs involved.   We don't even know if crowds will be able to watch.  I think it's a season too soon.  Good luck lads, in all that you do. I can see a clear out.

Okay Crook messed up , but the forward line as been poor all season.  In an earlier thread I posted how long we had gone without scoring in open play. Today we lacked ideas.  I think we should keep the backbone of the team.  Plenty of good players will be available.  Goalkeeper and striker on the shopping list me thinks.

The B-Ark / Re: Sky Bet have not paid out.....

« on: July 17, 2020, 04:16:04 PM »

I have received a reply. They said that they have refunded all bets, winning and losing bets.  I contacted my mate, who had bet on Gateshead.  He has received a full refund.  They have took the decision to void the season.  My question is why send me an email stating they were waiting for FA ratification before paying out.

They took no notice of the FA ruling.  The cynic in me thinks they have took the cheapest option. I am glad they have restricted my account, I have no need to bet with them.  My advice to all is, steer clear of Bet 365, they are gangsters.
