    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2023/24 Edition

    this is a very niche question but does anyone know where Forest Row are playing next season? Saw a post from them saying that they're no longer going to be sharing with Oakwood but no news about where they'll be calling home

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2023/24 Edition

    sorry I've got way behind on updating you all on my journey. In April I ticked off Haywards Heath Town, Worthing (twice), Peacehaven & Telscombe and the picturesque duo of Arundel and Hassocks. I absolutely loved Arundel in particular with the stunning backdrop of the castle and the PETANQUE...

    [Football] Worthing fc

    I remember for the play off final in 2004 there was two separate queues, one at Withdean and one at the Queens Road ticket office. I did the Queens Road one which was HOURS. Don't think any were available online or over the phone. My main memory from that is that I paid by CHEQUE. Really was a...

    [Football] Worthing fc

    big shame that seemingly a lot of regular fans have missed out. I wasn't able to get one but certainly wouldn't class myself in the category of a regular, having only been about 6 or 7 times this season- am disappointed to not get a ticket but I really feel for those more dedicated that I...

    [Albion] The OFFICIAL what’s gone wrong with our season thread

    -Fairly poor recruitment by our standards with only Pedro and Verbruggen looking like good signings at this point. -That includes failing to strengthen in certain areas eg. going into the season with 1 left back and 2 injury prone right backs continues to blow my mind. We were fortunate that...

    [Football] Worthing fc

    not necessarily, there are part time teams in the national league. Can become problematic though especially with long away games. However the increase in costs associated with going full time are large obviously

    [Albion] How exactly did we blow the Championship title in 2016/17?

    there seemed to be a strong sense that the job was done- in another situation the players ideally wouldn't be spending days out on the lash during the season. It was all a bit undisciplined and unprofessional but as the huge post season celebration proved, I don't think many fans were that...

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2023/24 Edition

    Gateshead was my first ever non league ground back when I was a student in Newcastle. They were in the Northern Premier league at the time so it was even more sparse than it is now crowd wise, but it is absolutely HUGE for a non league ground. They've struggled for many years, partly because...

    haven't watched it yet but by all accounts it was a very good show, as most AEW ppv's are in my opinon Danielson vs Ospreay was apparently exceptional

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    sounds like he won't be effected by this "crackdown" as he is in, even in the eyes of the DWP, fit to work if he's been asked to do so. A slightly separate issue really as this is more about those who are signed off

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    absolutely, the whole application process is seemingly designed to discourage people from applying in the first place. It's very dehumanising

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    As I said, if he's on what was ESA then he's been assessed by several trained health professionals and also this is reviewed on a regular basis. although if he's required to look for work then sounds like he's on what was JSA.

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    yep! this was a perennial issue for me. The claimant would be turned down and turned down to the point of tribunal, get awarded it at tribunal with a lovely big f*** off back payment which would immediately get blown down "wine me up"

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    depends how you define "legitimate" every applicant for PIP goes through a length application process. Their application needs to be supported by medical evidence from a health professional (consultant, GP, support worker etc). They then are heavily scrutinised in an independent assessment from...

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    in a previous role as a support worker I have guided countless people through the benefits system the level of scrutiny that they are placed under for PIP and (what was) ESA claims is pretty intense and I've seen people who are very obviously disabled get declined for both it is very hard to...

    [Football] Maradona

    btw- "Maradona was a cheat"- all players cheat the difference with Maradona, is that he refused to show any semblance of remorse about it because he was such a cheeky scamp. Also he did it against the team with the most insecure and easily outraged fans on earth which probably fuelled his...

    [Football] Maradona

    there's a beautiful romance with Maradona that you won't get with any other top tier player. He was a (very) flawed genius and of course, absolutely mental. He forged an inseparable bond with the clubs that he played for to the point that he is still worshipped by fans of Napoli and Boca...
