Nice! Judging by the lack of progress on their new ground off the Sidcup by-pass, looks like Cray Wanderers will still be at Bromley next season though.

I've only just worked out exactly where that site is. I played for a team in the London Banks League on the neighbouring sports ground for a couple of seasons in the mid eighties. It's also very close to Glebe's ground, where we played a London Senior Cup match 5 years ago. It looks like they already have social facilities up and running but I can't see anything on their website to indicate when they expect to start playing there. (Ignore the strange link title, it's got photographs of the social facilities.)

Watch this space. Talking of new grounds Hastings United have been trying to get a new ground away from the “pretty decrepit” (their chairman’s words) Pilot Field but the local authority has turned down their plans for a new complex in the town that will provide facilities for all Hastings teams, men’s, women’s and juniors. Now after the management team jumped ship the CEO has followed suit. Here’s hoping that historic club survives this and gets back on an even keel.

Flamingo Park has been a social venue for years - looks like they might have done it up a bit from the pictures. It's a really awkward spot to reach by anything other than a car as the A20 is fenced off from the nearest bus stops!I've only just worked out exactly where that site is.

321 bud from new cross brings u nearest to ground but then u have to cross a20. Good luck on that other option is get to sidcup then walk about 20 min down a20 to ground.

First time I went I remember getting off the bus (21 in those days) where the bus route runs parallel to the A20 and either climbing over the fence or finding a gap. The ground I needed was a couple of hundred yards back towards London with about 6 pitches, so after that I got off at the previous bus stop and cut down a side street. I don't recall any difficulty crossing the A20 but I guess there was less traffic in those days. New Eltham station can't be more than a 15 minute walk away but there's still the issue of getting onto the A20 and finding a safe place to cross it. The whole area is the type of dull Outer London suburbia that makes me very happy to live in the concrete jungle of Zone 2.

There is a foot-bridge over the A20 at the end of Thaxted Road, Google says that a walk from Thaxted Road bus stop (route 321) is 0.7 miles to the front of Flamingo Park.
New Eltham Station is about a quarter of a mile further away (it's on the Sidcup line, trains on the Victoria - Denmark Hill - Lewisham - Dartford route usually go via Bexleyheath, so change at Lewisham if you're coming from that direction.)
Map here.
Bus 162 (Eltham - Chislehurst - Bromley - Beckenham) gets slightly closer (Imperial Way bus stop) but not much closer, and it's only a single decker every 15 minutes.

Cheers. That footbridge at the end of Thaxted Road is filed in the memory bank if we ever play there. County Gate was the street I used to cut down. It would have been a nuisance to go that way, then have to double back just to cross the A20.

Paul Barnes is their new manager and they are going to be having training split between Greenwich & Hastings. Someone else did that was it Margate?
Margate used to train close to the South London / Kent border, may still do so. It's quite common for reasonably high level non-league clubs to train where they draw players from.
Over the years a lot of the North Welsh clubs have trained in Liverpool or Manchester. The Barrow team which won promotion to the EFL trained in Manchester.

Why ?? Players let him down badly, he will do a brilliant job there, no time for negative thoughts in this life

He literally got us relegated, there’s positive thinking and then there’s thanking a wasp for stinging you on your bellend.

Come on boys be nice
I’m pretty sure Steve Deltasix can take care of himself.
Can’t speak for gnar182 but they have the path of righteousness.
Barnsey is of course terrible.

He won 27 points from 25 games, which equates to 49.68 from a full 46 match season. That would have kept us up, so he literally did not get us relegated. Of course we can all play around with statistics, there were multiple factors in our relegation, but to pin it all on one of 3 managers during the season simply doesn't stand up.
So which manager did the worst on a points per game basis?

I’m not sure either of us were being not nice to each other but I apologise if your son reads the forum and was offended by the word bellend.

I’m happy i didn’t have to navigate an essay like when you usually post so I thank you for that.
He was shit, I’m sorry but he won’t shag you, he was terrible, absolutely out of his depth.
What will you do if they don’t sack him next season? You should do a forfeit.
Beer with The new one if Hastings are in the top half?

Thank you for putting me on the spot.
I’m going to avoid this question like Peter Crouch and Tom Cullen avoided the discord Q&A

Not including the game that Danny and Jack presided over (1-3 vs Hemel):
Gavin - 0.57ppg (5 from 7)
Paul - 1.08ppg (27 from 25)
Hakan - 1.23ppg (16 from 13)
Cheers.

Pink Panther will be along to tell us in a minute that the manager that presided over half the season (arguably the most important part) wasn’t to blame.

I appreciate the irony after saying Paul Barnes wouldn’t shag Pink Panther but you do a brilliant job, I think one of the minor positives this season is that they re-recruited you.
