hope its on.we don't want to fall too far behind in our league fixtures. Jan/Feb at Tatnam can result in postponements and that could cost us as it did a few seasons ago.
Beautiful week of weather here on the shores of lake Ontario.

Unfortunately the game has been postponed to another date following the pitch inspection. It just could not cope with the water overnight. We will advise as soon as a new date is advised and confirmed

Until we leave Tatnam this will always happen. There are voices crying in the wilderness but seem unlikely to heard at the moment. With Speedway and Dogs facing uncertain futures NOW is the time think about, and i quote from a recent post "Our Spiritual Home" NEVER SAY NEVER!! ...and not the least to remark that we do not want to lose our welcome momentum!! |

Benito posted recently that aquaintances were showing a renewed interest in the Town. That will be hard to maintain if as early as the middle of October we are forced to call off home matches. I note that our rivals are today putting points in the bank. Remember a couple of seasons ago when we had all those games in hand and faltered due to the sheer number of fixtures at the end of the season??
If PTFC are to gain their rightful place in the upper echelons of non league football someone,.somewhere, has to bring us back to where we belong. We have a Director from The Stadium,he's not there just to get us parking is he?
I know i will be called out as a crazy old coot but not so crazy as to be willing to put up a few quid to put an end to this repeated impairment to the club we love.
LORD GET US BACK WHERE WE BELONG!!!

Positive to take from today's postponement. At least there should be no injury worries ahead of our biggest game of the season next week, fresh legs and players rating to go. Plus the financial benefits to winning next week will far outweigh the benefits to today's game.

Last time we went to Truro on a Tuesday evening, we lost in the FA Cup the following Saturday to Chippenham. So a difficult one. I want promotion to National South but I also want to get to the FA Cup 1st round. In an ideal world both would happen. But we don't live in one. So which is more important? Please help as I have no idea. |

We got to go there some time, but not on a Saturday. A full free fixture list midweek before a few of your clubs could make the FA Cup 1st round. Why? What is it that makes you get it so wrong?! |

Yes a intresting watch on YouTube. Dulwich have a exellent media division and as you said crowds like that are a regular thing. Good to see one of the most famous non league names really going places after all the ups and downs they have suffered in the modern era. They get it right on the pitch and im sure league football could be there goal in the near future.

If we lose at Truro Tuesday night Dave we have until May to correct things where as if we lose Saturday we are you so I believe Saturday is the bigger most important game for this club

If we do leave Tatnam, whether by choice or not, their are two options, and one of those is already reserved at Canford Manor. Nothing else.

What i fail to understand is why a council owned facility(yes I know its leased) The Stadium, is given over to Dog Racing and Speedway. It should be a showcase of physical ability and that includes football. Is that PTFC supporters badge still extant over the doors to the stand that was built by our predecessors. They Had Vision!!

What is going to happen about the pay as you want aspect of this match?
Is it going to apply to this match whenever it eventually takes place? Can't see much take up on a Tuesday night, especially if there is Champions League on the telly.
Or will it apply to the next Saturday home league match? This is currently at home to the Met Police on Saturday 2nd November. Also that day at 12:30pm AFCB are at home to ManU on BT. So perhaps those unable to get in at Dean Court might like to watch it at Tatnam. Also the fans at the early game might make the effort to get over to us, knowing they aren't to much out of pocket if they miss our 3pm kick off. Of course this all once again weather permitting!

My opinion only as I really don’t know what will happen in regards to the “pay what you want”. I imagine it probably won’t go ahead as it is a risk for the club in terms of revenue. Imagine it was done at the met police game and no Bournemouth fans turn up? Then on top of that we get a regular crowd with some of our regulars paying a lot less - certainly a large sum lost in revenue. The obvious solution in my opinion is hosting it for the Merthyr Home fixture - during an international break so it’s very similar to non league day. All just my opinion but we will wait and see
