Hi Cap. You're the second person to respond to that comment, but I can't find where anyone has actually said it. Where is it?

On the subject of poor match advertising I don't think that any mention of being drawn against Maidstone in the Kent Cup has ever been made on the news section of the official website nor has any mention of the change of kick off time for the Boxing Day game at Welling. I think that information like this should be displayed on the website as soon as they are announced.

Wider issues from top to bottom of the club have been mentioned all because we have been knocked out the FA Trophy. It hurts, former players don't get the fans reactions and thought processes at all.

...... but what about the Kent Senior Cup ???

Hi Spike; I wasn’t sure which comment you were referring to; being a Disappointing turnout, or not an important game, so I have taken part quotes from 4 posts prior to my responding post.

. Whatever, not an important match, league has to be the focus.

What a shocking turn out! 414! Very disappointing.

If the club did not advertise the game as suggested then I can see
Why only circa 400 turned up.

No appetite for the cup competitions this season then. Of course they're not that important apart from the revenue streams they create,

It was interesting to see Adam's comment in the "Messenger" that Tom Bonner may be able to return from injury next Tuesday- no mention at all of the shingles from which it was suggested he was suffering in a recent post.

Sorry, it's the first one "not an important match" that I was talking about. I've found it now, it was said by "Up The Darts" several pages before anyone commented and somehow I missed it. That's not a view I share either.

I go away for 4 days and this happens. What a surprise.

Look on the bright side, Ozy - you spared yourself the debacle!

That bad,a Mikey.
