I actually do think they will have greatly increased crowds next season, maybe not 2000, but possibly up to or just over 1000 - a lot of people will return to the fold.

If they don't it'll be a massive smack in the face to RJ and seriously damage their chances of survival.

Just over a 1000 Jim in the Southern Central?!?!? Maybe for one game or two if they're top of the league at most. My guess is they'll hover round the 500-600 mark tops. Which is still a good effort mind.

I don't know, depends on how many see it as a brave new world, back in the Borough, new man with fresh ideas at the helm, the hated Ladick gone - maybe I'm being overly optimistic for them, but that feeling of optimism may get them 900 to a 1000 if they start well, who knows eh?

It was just about his only involvement, but it was a good goal.

I see that the lad that scored the Ploppies first goal, Louis Hamiliton, is the son of the old RDFC coach Nev Hamiliton who sadly died 2-3 years ago.

I guess you went then? I'm pleased for the lad as it lifts the pressure a tad - just don't want him scoring too many ;) lol

Not me, but BR went as he posted a picture on twitter of the pitch shortly before kick off.

I will start the ball rolling, I see they lost again yesterday. I notice it is fine for them to lose, because the team they were playing are title contenders. They are all title contenders. :P
