I will be surprised if this season isn't put on hold at some point, if not cancelled especially with all of these postponements and the new tier 4 restrictions.

This match is now being played on Tuesday evening.

Looking forward to this game to get us back to winning ways. However, I have a sinking feeling that this may be the last game until the end of January - and hopefully this game actually goes ahead. There is a growing movement for a break for all elite football.

Perhaps you're right, but looking on the positive side, the more games that are postponed and the more congested all the fixtures get, the better for us with our large and talented squad. Some clubs may falter in this situation. Also, with the vaccine now being distributed things will start to get better and there's even a possibility that we may be allowed back in in time to see a few of these games when they are rescheduled for later in the season.

Glass half full and all that.

Absolutely, great news about the vaccines and I am hopeful that this brings about the ability to finish the season properly this time. A break in the season for a month as you say could actually provide an opportunity to get fans back in for the at least the run in - albeit a delayed end of season which is also inevitable. My glass is certainly half full and let's hope that this awful virus goes away sooner rather than later (if everybody plays their part).

Gutted we can't be there to cheer the lads on and it is definitely affecting the players, but i'm still really looking forward to tomorrows game.

I know some have commented on the lack of wingers but i feel that our full backs haven't got forward as much in support and i wouldn't be surprised if Jazzi starts tomorrow as i don't think we have seen the best of him yet and he can get forward. Nassim also offers us some width and as he continues to gain his match fitness will surely get even better as he has looked a threat in all his games so far.
Whilst it has been a little frustrating lately we have such a talented squad of players i'm sure it just needs a little tweak here or there and we'll be flying again. So not bad then that we are not at our best but still have the second best defensive record in the division, sit in second place and really well placed to push on. We could go top tomorrow as well with a victory.

COYD AND THE VACCINES.....

Great it seems that Elite Sports can continue. Above all lets hope all players and club staff everywhere stay safe.

Whilst I’m grateful that we have the live streaming coverage to allow us to see the Darts in action, there is absolutely no doubt that the joy of seeing a match unfold with your fellow supporters in full voice around you is what I am missing most. I can’t appreciate the ebb and flo, even on a HDTV as the picture quality isn’t obviously of the standard provided by the main broadcasters. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell who is involved in a move. It’s just not the same. Only when we are back in the ground, a yard or so from the pitch, will I really feel fully a part of what Kingy is gradually developing. We haven’t quite flowed, as we did last season, but we are gathering points and it’s looking very tight at the top. St Albans will lose soon and, as is often the case when a long undefeated run ends, a number of dodgy results tend follow. The title race is very much alive and kicking.

Let’s ensure Tonbridge leave leave empty handed tomorrow night so we can keep the pressure on those around us.

A bit soggy at the moment. Let's be decisive tonight, early goals needed. Looking forward to it.
