I had the exact same thought Reg, it would be good if we could get a few together in the bar keeping 1mtr apart of course having a beer whilst cheering the lads on.

Should get a bit of money over the bar plus create a good atmosphere. Not sure on all the regulations though.

Going to be very hard on the two losing teams in the “eliminator” round who have had to wait all this time (four months!), just for the season to conclude in one match!

I have 2 pubs on standby fifth, if it proves Impossible to do at PP.

Sounds like a very good idea to me and because it is likely to attract a very good number of fans I would think that entry would have to be limited.
With this in mind I would be happy to pay an entry fee for the viewing not a problem at all but would like to think that there might be some priority given to season ticket holders as a gesture by the club to avoid further disappointment and that should still leave room for the pay at the gate fans that come along.
Speaking of season tickets for next season if the club are happy to accept applications then I would like to renew mine and there must be others prepared to helps boost funds prior to kick off.

According to an article in Kent Online the team are back training in preparation for the forthcoming play offs. SK will have a 21 man squad to choose from including Tyrique Hyde and Amrit Bansal-McNulty who have both been permitted to take part. Billy Crook, who's wife is having a baby in August, has not made himself available. The club can only use players that were signed at the time when the season was halted. Apart from goalkeepers no new players can be added to the squad.

In preparation for the play-offs the club are hoping to play Barnet in a friendly but they are awaiting confirmation that the game can go ahead.

They are also allowed to name 6 subs of which one has to be a goalkeeper and they are allowed to use 5 of the 6 subs named but they only have 3 opportunities to make those changes.

It’s good news that we have Bansal-McNulty & Hyde back for these games.

21 players, we know that Nash has left and now Crook is unavailable, does this include the likes of Ryno and Nobles etc.

With Pugh and Blackman also departed the squad of 21 could possibly include the likes of Sheringham & Brodie as well as one or two others who haven't featured too much like Luke Allen if he is now fit. My guess is as follows.....

Sesay
Smith
Ming
Wynter
Braham-Barrett
Bansal-McNulty
Vint
Bonner
Hill
Husin
Jebb
Romain
Wanadio
McQueen
Hyde
Marsh-Brown
Arnold
Briggs

Plus any three from......

Hayes
Noble
Brodie
Sheringham
Allen
Djouaher

God, there's some names there that I'd have struggled to remember after 3½ months off!!!

After some fantastic performances from the squad, we have a great chance of promotion. Something not so long ago would have looked a ridiculous comment. I for one want to go on record and say, I cant forget the enjoyment that Kingy and the squad has given me in such a short space of time. Whatever happens it will not blur the transformation. That for me is down to one man alone. Chastise me as much as you want. However, if any of the players do read this, you've been superb, all of you. I know that the schedule is now on top of you and so hard, but what a fantastic team. Whatever happens we'll give you all our support and more.

P.S. Dad wishes the team promotion, he phoned early this morning, as he is now being put on 24 hour sedation to combat his drinking, but still wishes the club everything.
