At our level and with a new manager in place I always think that this area of debate is interesting. Yes we all want the best players signed up so if they do very well and move on then we get compensation. However With a virtually new side what do we do? Put them all on contract and potentially end up where we...
I know I should have gone to Erith but did not wake up till 4 p.m. (just finished 10 9and a half hour night shifts). Anyone know the score and any other details like any new players/trialists etc. Thanks
According to the local paper Barry Hobbins has been appointed as the club's General Manager, succeeding his father Graham. When you consider the responsibilities that Barry already has, surely this will be too much work for one person to do. Maybe this was a chance to get some much needed new blood in...
Just incase it happens its now fully 100% licenced to play music after obtaining prs, ppl and mcps licences. cost a bomb but worth it... May do what the bbc have done tossers but for longer and also friday preview show saturday scores and reports show and sunday phone in show.. See what transpires. May...
Im extremely concerned we will be in serious trouble this season because of the severe lack of fire power up front. Weve had friendlies and have scored ONE goal from a striker. and no other goals from midfield. Now yes its pre season but we arent exactly trialing strikers left right and center. To my min...
Ok here we go , as Adie has Joined Tony Pullis at Stoke lets have a bit of discussion. I think i have a good idea (and if true we are totally up ****e creek!!) WHO should be the manager? Will anyone take the job who is any good? If you have someone who isnt listed, then say so in your post. LMFAO OH DEAR OH DEAR OH D...
I realise I might be being just a tad optimistic here but if by some miracle we were actually able to get promoted would the ground be OK for the conference proper? I thought you had to have 2000 seats and capacity of 6000 - I'd say we have 1000 seats and capacity 3500. It was rumoured that more seating could...
Was quite impressed by the new lights for the Ebbsfleet game. Once they were up to full steam they did a very good job with no shadows and illuminated the corners as well. One things puzzles me though, the lights over the new stand were not on. Are these now deemed to be EB&Q's or will we have the lot on i...
Just back from the game tonight. Wasn't really worth the journey to be honest. Think me n my brother were the only Wings there apart from Eric Brackstone & Paul Carter. Not a great performance, we went 1-0 down after about 10 minutes. 2-0 down just after half time. They missed a pen and Ross Gaynor sl...
Now - I can only go by the results so far and what I have been told from the games as I have not managed a friendly as yet (Maldon here I come!!! Whoopeee) but It appears that we will be a pretty solid defensive outfit BUT what happens if we go a goal down - It doesn't seem we have the firepower to equalise let alo...
JgFc wrote in the Folkestone thread:Rob Gier scored, We have signed 3 players and scrapped the reserve team due to "the structure of the league" Hmmmmmm what about the suburban or something similar? BUT we are planning reserve team friendlies LMFAO how can you just have a reserve team for...
Looking 'forward' to seeing some new striker action against Ebbsfleet on Tuesday night. The Charlton game was always going to be a tough one for any striker to be judged. However Robbie Ryan didn't put a foot wrong in defence and hope we can wrap up that Mouko guy who looked pretty good. Also WUF...
Mathew Panting, Kent Online, reports that Des has been released - out of contract so more a case of so 'we don't want you' or 'we can't meet your demands' than released. Good Luck wherever you end up Des - nobody can say that you didn't always fully commit to the cause. He also reports that it was Andy Marti...

Crouchy, how comes you got the whistle for the Charlton game? I thought Bennett was doing it? What level are you refereeing at this season and... Refs in charge versus their local team in League or Cup games what is the ruling on it? Baring in mind you were once a star Welling player.
Did any season ticket holder have problems getting in on Wednesday?My two old mates went in before me while I popped into the offie next door. One of my mates was walking back when I got there and said hed been turned away. I walked up to the turnstile and was told no season tickets. I argued that Id phone...
I was led to believe that if you have a season ticket you get in to friendlies without paying so why did season ticket holders get charged for the charlton game and will they be charged tuesday???????
I have been doing a Fantasy Non-League competition for some 9 years and my latest version has been running in the Non-League Paper for 2 seasons and it is about to start it's 3rd season in a week or so. My reason for posting on your forum is a new version of my competition that I am launching this month on th...

My mistake in an earlier post Robbie Ryan had agreed to sign and but only did so today. With Adam Cottrell and Steve May also signing the number of registered players creeping up - 8 now registered. Squad to Date Jamie Turner Goalkeeper age around 26 Leon Solomon Defender age around 21 Steve May Defende...
Andy Martin who played for us last night has signed today for Maidstone. Apparantly Tony Sinclair who played for us last night is also wanted by Maidstone but cant train with them (how he can he train with us then) I hope Neil doesnt fall for players using us a a pre season fitness excercise next season....
Anyone know anything about today. Result - who played etc. I went to see our new rivals Bromley against C Palace. Palace got an extra time equaliser to make it 2-2. Bromley very impressive - 3/4 of the 3,000 crowd were their fans too so they will be very well supported ths year. What struck me was that the...
After a few e mails received over the weekend I have been asked to run this past you . The playing budget has been set and the manager is looking to bring in a few ! with in that budget . If we as the fans want to help here is a way. One player at say 200 a week inc Tax etc 38 week contract. Needed £7600 If we sell £1 sh...
Hello all. It occurs to me that 'United' is a fairly rare name in the world of non league football. Other than Welling I can only think of Boston and Oxford. My question, as mentioned in the topic, is why did Welling use the United in their name - why not Town etc? My guess is that the United comes from a merge...
