Going tomorrow!

If you can play up front, take your boots with you.

What an amazing score line once again. This team seize to amaze me. They are a joy to watch and all of Harroge should be really proud of them. I'm really chuffed for Jordan with his hat trick which will do his confidence the world of good. Also, Joes confidence must be sky high after notching and creating chances constantly. But, it's a team game, and confidence must be ooooozzzzing throughout the whole of the squad. Roll on York City at home, its gunna be a cracker, and hopefully a sell out. Praise once more to Simon, Paul + all the backroom staff for a trully wonderful job you are doing.

Great team performance throughout 90 mins of entertaining football played on a really wet and windy night. Could have scored more but I'm getting greedy now.Strange decision by ref to book Belshaw after the pen.when he could have been sent off for giving the pen away.

Have to agree what a TEAM performance.
The opposition must wonder where the goal threat is going to come from and it is ANYWHERE.
WOW

Just listened to their managers assessment of the game and he is really full of praise for our team. We are the best team they have played so far this season and they will not meet a team like ours every week.

You no longer get sent off for a foul. Only if it is deliberate, like pulling a forwards shirt back for example.

Luckily Townfan my boots we're not needed. Close run thing between me and Jordan but Simon made the right choice ! What a fantastic evening, this team are scarily good. I was almost disappointed with just 4 goals. Have to say Southport's floodlights seemed much brighter than ours. Nice, friendly club as well.

Yes we are desperately short of strikers???
New updated floodlights included in plans for ground.

I'm wondering why the ref waited till after the penalty was taken then booked Belshaw for the foul which gave the penalty.

Think he was booked for dissent & not for the foul!
Will likely be a club fine for that!!!
