Andy may be good but can't see him over coming the financial might of Havant. Play offs is more likely - I see on the conference south board nobody is giving us a chance.
Adie nearly got there on Less. Fordy got last years team playing league winning stuff at the end (results wise). The budget has increased, quality players have come in and Andy has won a similar league before.
Plenty of teams have thrown a pound note at winning the league before year after year and won naff all,so i am not worried about teams like Havant.
Our Manager has enough about him to get the team giving it a right go.

JGFC - Your post of 25 June at 11.49. Are you getting carried away with the achievements of Andy Ford as a Manager?
I thought that Andy Ford had won the Isthmian League, Premier Division. back in Season 2001/02. This league is surely not similar to the Blue Square South of today as you claim in your post.
Things do change but he changed last years team from losers to winners, now he has rebuilt completely. He has taken a club to the Conference.
Personally, I think this year may have to be one of transition before making a real assault on the title a year later as the players will take a while to know what their team-mates are doing.
If we get off to a good start a play off place is not out of the question.
The Conference South was created with the restructuring of non league football in the 2004/5 season and is now one of the feeder leagues for the Conference National. Prior to that the Ryman Premier was one of the feeder League for the Conference National so Fordy has indeed achieved at this level with his taking G&N to the National Conference in 2000/1.

Hi, this is fantastic that I feel. A qustion, Do you all have this enjoiment all the time from this or you have any problem in most of the time. Also I need to ask you that what is the inspiration of these.
The Blue square site seems to have closed in tersm of taking bets for the season. If I fancied a cheeky punt on line where would be the best place to go now?
