Relegated ( But lets hope we bounce back )
Views: 1812
The day finally dawned when the 'R' letter appears against our name in the league table.
Another decent away result but now that relegation has become a reality it will be a chance for the team to rebuild and hopefully come back fighting next season.
From what has been seen the last few games the team has a much more solid feel about it , especially in defence and if Nicky and Graham stay and keep the core of the team then i think we can do well next season.
I think that Darren Purse has made a massive difference to the team and Jack Turner has been outstanding over the last 4-5 games. Complimented by the remainder of the team we have a completely different attitude as a team than we did a couple of months ago

The R against the team was assured several months ago. It is the appearance of new players, including loanees, and some of the better players who began the season, that has led to the improvement of the team in performance and results over recent weeks. We need to retain a large part of the squad, and the management team (including a supportive board) for the team to get a P beside the name as soon as possible next season.

I think a C would be nicer than a P...
Its going to be a tough one next season... just look at the Ryman league now...
(Correct as of 29/3/15)
17 Lewes 41 12 11 18 41 62 -21 47
18 Hampton & Richmond Borough 41 12 8 21 50 76 -26 44
19 Tonbridge Angels 41 11 10 20 49 60 -11 43
20 Harrow Borough 41 12 7 22 57 73 -16 43

21 Witham Town 41 9 13 19 60 76 -16 40
22 AFC Hornchurch 40 10 8 22 38 54 -16 38
23 VCD Athletic 41 9 11 21 41 68 -27 38
R Bury Town 41 5 11 25 30 79 -49 26
Lewes, Hampton, Tonbridge and Hornchurch have all been relegated from the conference south within the last 5 years... and they all find themselves in a relegation scrap this season...
I think, as Arthur said the whole season will rest on the ability to keep the new players who have performed well in recent games...
