Green King tend to run these kind of places and are the pioneers of terrible beer. The place at scunny away being the prime example. They’ve severely damaged their reputation over the years. For the record, though, the Abbot Ale served by the landlord of the Champion of the Thames in King Street, Cambridge in the late 1970s (and into the 1980s) remains one of the greatest beers I’ve ever drunk anywhere in the world.

Everyone got their tkts? I see your results have been a mixed bag in recent weeks and I’m expecting a close game. You've only gave us 800 tickets. All sold out, I don't think they got to open sale. We took 800 to Torquay, but I know why you only gave us that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel latic Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The Carrion Crow on Huddersfield Road is/was a Marston's pub under the old landlord, Tony. The beer was always excellent when he had it and they were often in the Good Beer Guide which isn't easy to achieve for a community pub in an unglamorous area. Should say the beer may still be excellent but I've not been in for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careca9 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 They are prob top lg2 / bottom lg 1 standard, but everyone is beatable on the day. It’s a free hit and if we go out work hard play freely we have a few decent players who could nick a goal. However, I expect us to be beat in the changing room before kick off when we set up on edge of box with no clear counter attack plan. albeit the negativity do want to comment that it was good to see Unsy say post Wealdstone that those are games next year we have to win so he does understand the task ahead. Just hope he see’s this as a free hit rather than try and sneak a 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he see’s this as a free hit rather than try and sneak a 0-0 I think he said this last time about the game against these in the cup and we were embarrassing. I hope he does his research and comes up with a robust plan of how to beat these. This is his last chance of the season to show what he's really about. Show us that we're scared of no one and give a genuinely good account of ourselves against a good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 A good opportunity if we want to lay down a marker for next season if these players in this team are serious about being an integral part of a promotion chasing team next season then this would be a good test for them. The fact that they need to win probably helps if anything the pressure will be on them abd as results at Chesterfield and Barnet and even the home win against Woking show we are probably better of when playing against teams who will try and take the game to us. Wouldn't be surprised to see us sneak a result here. Then again I thought we'd do that in the reverse fixture early in the season and we were until the 89th minute.

There's usually some people who: 1.) end up staying in the pub, it was such a nice day I don't blame them. 2.) don't make the game for traffic etc. 3.) Think there may have been a few who couldn't get out of their local bed after going too strong the night before too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel latic Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Do we expect to set up 532 given their attacking prowess and the way we finished the game against Wealdstone? As much as the formation Clarke offers calmness, leadership and reassurance to the other players as much as the fans. I'm fascinated as to whether we sign him next season, he's good enough for this division for me and there are so many additional benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the midfield 3 would be interesting. Would have to be Sheron, Shelton and Rooney for me but we finished with Chapman on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemel latic Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 When we play 352 it invariably looks more like 532, I think it does for most teams. I don't think Chapman is particularly effective defensively although he does have a good engine so Rooney might survive, I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the opposition I guess, so against Wrexham it probably would be more defensive as they're more likely to push us back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyOAFC Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I can't see us getting anything, unfortunately. I hope everyone has a good day. I'm really hoping it doesn't "kick off" between fooligans. What happened between fooligans earlier in the season was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
