Big pressure has got to them, still have 5 games in hand but no longer in their own hands!

Unbelievably, 6 wins in 9 days has Guernsey in the drivers set for one of those two extra promotion spots with 1 game left.
VCD Athletic 2.313
Guernsey 2.25
================
Aylesbury Utd 2.238
Barkingside 2.028
(Wisbech Town withdrew application)
Last match is tomorrow vs. 8th placed Farnham Town (4 games in 4 days makes our day of rest seem better), a win guarantees it, a draw leaves them with the same tally as Aylesbury (94 points from 42 games), not clear what the tiebreaker would be.

 I'd all but given up hope! Totally SENSATIONAL turn of events and phenomenal commitment in the face of such an adverse fixture pile up. Mightily surprised to discover they've achieved this rich vein of results especially when you consider Guernsey had only won one in six preceding this purple patch! Pulled it right out of the fire  Now they mustn't balls up at the last gasp against Farnham tommorow (4th game in 4 days, totally insane!) http://www.guernseyfc.com/matches-fixtures-and-results

Get in Guernsey! Was wondering how they were doing and that is a mighty effort to get to where they are, so fair play!

Absolutely. Massive congratulations to the Green Lions. Truly inspirational effort by all involved. Two successive promotions and now the Ryman South League awaits next season. An astonishingly decent crowd of some 1,800 for the last day promotion clincher against Farnham. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22425517Bit confused about this daft bit in the article  : "The island side were convinced the ball had entered the goal before bouncing against a small wheel and coming back out into play". Onwards and upwards |

Just saw this on Sky Sports, well done to Guernsey, 20 games in 36 days and to go up chasing the top side all the way is a big achievement for them! Fair play!

No exotic FA Cup fixture this season  Guernsey knocked out at FA Cup 2nd qualifying round after valiantly losing in Kent to Dover 3-2. They beat Hastings in the previous round, who memorably caused a giant killing against us in the competition many moons ago. League form looking good after a shaky start. 6th in the table, averaging about 1,100 every home game at Footes Lane, St Peter Port. http://www.guernseyfc.com/matches-fixtures-and-results |

The game was played in Sussex at Lancing FC, as Dover refused all requests by Guernsey to re-arrange the game to Friday, Saturday evening or Sunday as they couldn't play at 1pm on Saturday at Home.
Dover complained that their players wouldn't be able to arrange time off work. However, should the miserable fuckers make it to the third round and get drawn away to Newcastle & Sky ask to move the game to Sunday (or Monday night) I bet they will be somewhat more accommodating

But people will understand if the post isn't delivered, the meat not chopped up and the candlesticks not made during a tie against Newcastle.
Hard to justify against no mark teams though.

Don't forget the office workers. ...because in Dover, all TPS reports must be filed correctly before the end of September. If they don't get filed then their bosses are going to have to ask them to come in and work on Saturday.  |
