Title: Guernsey FC (on the verge of greatness)

Couldn't dig out last year's Green Army appreciation thread. One year on, one bloody year on, and they've only gone and done it again, play off's for a place in the Ryman League beckon:

I had to curtail my intake, spewing up blood in Holland Park awoke some sense into me, but the test results are back fine and i'm back in business, albeit like a scolded cat looking upon the pan-thrower of boiling liquid with some apprehension. I have been lurking and enjoying. It's great to be back amongst friends.

I follow their results as well, largely because my Mum is from Guernsey.

In fact, my parents went across for a few days and went to watch their last home game.

Guernsey is a great place, feeling the love for the Channel Islands. Crowds of 1000 plus is tremendous.

Excellent stuff - have to say, haven't seen their results after their franatic and championship winning season last year - but as said Play Offs a remarkable achievement for them.

Unfortunately the financial burden is beggining to tell - bank rolling all away teams' travel and accommodation expenses - and they're looking to renogotiate this agreement with the FA. This could be the biggest fairytale ever.

Thanks HonkyTonk, i've had to tone down after a health scare, i'm more an observer than a contributor now. I've been here all along and I feel I need to diminish myself.

Still on the cheap Cider  :beers: :D

I love the openess of this forum.

Unfortunately they lost their play-off semi-final tonight 3-2.

They came back from 3-0 down, and in the lat 5 mins hit the bar & had a goal disallowed.

Ah that's a shame, always next season for them!
