Need Cray to lose vs either of Haringey or Kinstonian which is unlikely but not impossible. I'm still a tentative maybe for Canvey for the above reason.

Went to a terrific game at Holyport which saw them defeat Reading City 3-2. Every weather possible in the second half with a quagmire of a pitch, proper football. The two pictures are within 5 mins of each other.
Then at 3pm I saw the big game in Maidenhead as Torquay United scrap for relegation. 3-1 winners for the Gulls to drag them to two points from safety. Frank Nouble with the pick of the goals with a 30 yard chip. Huge end of the season. Maidenheads toilet has magical powers as I have now witnessed three goals from within the doorway, it’s not coincidental, it’s a science.

A bargain £3 for Eastleigh v Gateshead tonight which resulted in 7 goals, that’s 42p a goal, talk about value for money. The 48 (Heed Count) supporters who made the trip down from the north east certainly we’re rewarded with a 5-2 victory to all but seal safety. Cracking game of football.
Reading City?

Yes they play in a small stadium up by the festival site, they used to be called Highmoor Ibis but changed their name a few years back. I thought there was an FA rule that meant you could not be called ”City” unless you are officially a city, and my understanding it reading is not. Play in the combined counties premier division North.Reading City?
Guildford isn’t a city but the football team is called Guildford City, maybe there isn’t a rule.

I thought that was one of the reasons Whitehawk weren't allowed to change their name.
A lot of the senior schools in the city seem to have their sports day there.
Thought that was mainly due to the Albion opposing the change. As well as all the Whitehawk fans too.

I think it was one of many reasons.
It’s cathedral city I think
It does have a cathedral but definitely not a city.
Why isn't Guildford a city? And has it had its chance?
Guildford's attempts at becoming a city in the past have not been successful - but why is that? We take a look...

Nearby Woking is a lot bigger than Guildford, yet isn't one.It does have a cathedral but definitely not a city.

Good luck with that, should be an evenly contested game. Always enjoy my visits to the Saffrons with YMCA.
Yes good result, made up for the shambles on Monday
Nice tidy ground.
Bright sunshine at kick off and hammered down at the end of the match today.
