Considering we have always ground shared with no budget and little other resources. That tomorrow is our 1000th league game is testament to supporters and volunteers @RomfordFC.

so after last nights poor performance, the manager and players have decided to reimburse the fans their entry money. None of these get paid so it's their own money.

After last seasons pain, to be in the last 32 of the Vase two other cup competitions and already win as many games as last season helps address the balance.

Its tough down the bottom, but its tough at the top, those in the middle trying to stay out the bottom and get in the top. Every club and every team has its own challenges.

Once the inevitable announcement is made we must try and support each other through the next month. Players, coaches, and supporters. Anxiety and loneliness may be up, people worried about jobs etc. Stay in touch everyone.

Genuinely enjoy following local non league clubs at all levels, some so called grassroots clubs are incredibly well structured and run.

Just wanted to say to Dave P Dan E @marcusbowers89 @GWRovers it was an absolute honour to be with you at Wembley. Shaking your players hands at the end was heartbreaking, but glad we shared the experience.

People ask me why do you keep sticking with your manager. One reason is brutal honesty as per interview in local paper “I keep telling them what to do but some players are like goldfish. A 3 second memory”🤣.
