Former Billericay owner Glenn Tamplin takes over Romford FC

[billbond]

Im pretty sure there will be no jokes about the above
That would be far "too hard"

 

[Sparkle Motion]

Play offs aside, at least you won't have his antics much longer. I'm dreading the Tamplin circus arriving in the National League. One can only hope the freak show implodes before then.

What with him being born again he'll need a stiff one after reading that.

“Police have been investigating Mr Tamplin and Billericay Town for a few months now.
“There are various aspects to their investigation.”

And so the implosion begins. Good.

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

But implodes too late. This will have been the only realistic chance of winning the Isthmian League championship in my lifetime, the way things are going for us.

 

[Balbi]

Depends, if it turns out the player contracts are dodgy or that the money runs out suddenly before the end of March, 'ricay could end up with a points deduction or be barred from promotion.

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

If the players contracts are dodgy it would take ages to investigate, and I very much doubt any points deduction would be this season...look at the Boston United/Steve Evans tax fiddle precident.

Barred from promotion? On what grounds, if that had enough points?

 

[DonkeyAssessor]

Anybody else now want ricay to go all the way to Wembley in the FA trophy, but Glenn not be able to (and not because of illness ).

Either you've been told that you only got a year or two left to live or that's a particularly doomy forecast.

That would be a thing of beauty.

Either you've been told that you only got a year or two left to live or that's a particularly doomy forecast.

As it stands we are shaking buckets until the end of the season to keep the squad together after Meadows moved the goalposts in November.
We currently only have a licence to use Champion Hill until the end of the season.
If things are not resolved do you honestly think that Gavin Rose will still be manager next season, because if I was in his shoes I wouldn't.
Alternatively, we could go up, things behind the scenes, whatever they may be, will work out & we stabilise in the National League South. Either way I think it's more likely to be onwards and upwards, or stay where we are, without challenging for the title...if we get through the current situation.
Which, to me, would make it unlikely to win the Isthmian League title in my lifetime...unless things are sorted and we lose in the play-offs again.

So what do YOU think the future holds?

 

[editor]

So what do YOU think the future holds?

I've no idea at all, but I'm not so emo-esque gloomy'n'doomy to suppose that I'll be brown bread before they ever get promoted.

Heck, I still dream of watching Wales at the World Cup!

Pennants ofski!

Would be great to see them win the title
Just wondering with all this uncertainty if there is any chance Dulwich might groundshare

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

Well if the licence to play at Champion Hill is not renewed then we would clearly have to. liamdhfc I am sure will explain more when he is able to.

 

[Nivag]

Something I know you're all keen to watch is Glenn's F12 getting wrapped on Dave at the moment.

Bloke i used to work with went to see ricay tonite
Just looked , see they beat Corinthan Casuals so they are in the final
The pitch dont look that great

Caused by a half time pitch invasion of the massive crowd?

I'm surprised they let the game go ahead with a pitch as dreadful as that. Did they get a new groundsman in the end?

 

[Nivag]

Bloody hell I played on better pitches as a kid for Tulse Hill boys and them pitches were a mud bath!

Tulse Hill Boys..?

What era & house?

 

[Nivag]

Tulse Hill Boys..?

I should have said Tulse Hill FC, nothing to do with the school as far as I remember.
I went to a rival school, Kingsdale, in the Mid to late 80's :-D

Just over 400 i think i read

A little bit down on the anticipated monster crowds predicted by The Man In The Muriel.

 

[Taper]

That's Belle and Sebastian's next single right there

Heard they flew the Rochdale groundsman in !

 

[HFCJohn]

That agricultural surface rather suits the agricultural style of play favoured in mid-Essex.

If only he'd properly researched the subject and worked out a practical, sensible budget instead of cluelessly bragging about the massive crowds he thought they'd attract.
