Forgot. Fancy a decent home win for this one.  Marine have played 7 games against teams sitting in the top 6.  Just a single point gained.

Probably best chance we'll have to increase our GD.

So tight at the top, its badly needed.

Thanks for the Bal/Jo distinction. If Jo is the money man, and Bal is his representative, is there anyone working on money-making projects at the ground/elsewhere, or organising raffles, etc?  If so is he or she contactable?

As I'm sure you have realised, what goes on at the Walks stays at the Walks.That's unless a Club official thinks he should share certain things with his mates. i.e. "Don't tell anyone else this but........".

I think it's fair to say that some have noticed a few subtle changes since Bal appeared on the scene and made it his job to go among the supporters and press some flesh. He was certainly showing an interest in a number of things, and gauging supporters opinions on a range of issues, which has got to be a plus.

As far as a raffle is concerned, I don't believe they have anyone that can do it and apparently the last attempt was not very successful. If they have run one in the last couple of years, I've not seen anything about it.
 
On that note, the Trusts Christmas raffle was deemed to be a success. Maybe the Club should engage with the Supporters that run it and pick up a few ideas.

 

Who is Bal, and are people able to contact him? 

I would guess you contact him via the club.

If it's by email, I'm sure you would get a reply.

 

Rather surprisingly, Rushall did us a massive favour yesterday by defeating Scunthorpe. That's got to go down as a massive bonus to us.

Shame Buxton and Chester didn't share the points, but guess a Chester win was very slightly better than a Buxton win 

One thing of concern, when you take into account how tight it is at the top is goal difference, with Lynn having the worst of the top 8 play-off contenders.

Having said that, it's nothing that a few wins by a two or three goal margin wouldn't sort out.

What the management doesn't seem to get is that they can't keep coming to supporters for more money for this or that. They need to grab some cash from outside the club as well. But I won't hold my breath on that one...🙄

Previously, the Club didn't have anyone with the ability to do this successfully.

With Bal now on board, a man with a proven track record, they now have someone with the ability to do this.

 

According to Oxford city, game has already been called off!

Thanks for the info.

I remember years back when Clubs trying to get an FA cup tie on they would place oil drums all over the pitch fill them with rubbish and set them a light.     Usually a lower League  Club playing one of the big boys.

Come on Joe, get the under soil heating installed asap!
