Keep up the excellent progress! 21 hours ago, Nobby_McDonald said: Well done winning the division Argento. Cheers guys, appreciated! August/September 2020 After a rocky start and with injuries piling up we seem to have finally found our rhythm winning our last 5 league games on the trot. Being in the same league as Braintree reminds us how far we have come as we were playing their reserve side just 2 years ago. Jon Parkin's age is showing as he has been quite injury prone so far, still I can forgive that when he is banging in 5 goals in an FA Cup tie. After ten games we are lurking outside the play offs and Folkstone have already shown they are the team to beat as they have already opened an 8 point lead over their nearest rivals and the only team in the league to remain unbeaten. Another club who has also enjoyed a meteoric rise like ourselves is Loughbourgh University who currently top the Northern Premier League whilst also remaining an amateur club and they have some top players. Ashley Young, Bradley Johnson and Aaron Lennon all playing for free, none of them would entertain a semi pro contract for us, feeling they wouldn't be able to compete at that level anymore.

Couple of games in the league where we really should of won but we played a few of the teams around us so I am not too worried yet and we still managed to pick up 12/18 points and I would of took that going into the month. We are still near the play offs and have a few games in hand which would put us right back in the title mix After a huge win over Blyth Spartans who are in play off contention in the Conference in the last qualifying round of the FA Cup (which included a bumper crowd of 940) we make the first round proper again and we have been drawn out against Shrewsbury at home. Its a huge draw and could attract a good gate. We have reduced our debt to £55,000 because of the cup run, last time we made the first round our game was televised and we were given £75,000 it seems this year we will miss out which would of sorted us right out. But it also seems are troubles could be over as local lad Peter Taylor wants to clear our debt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Absolute scenes, as we shock the big boys. We netted our best gate receipt yet and the prize money sees us down to only 20k in debt. Just had a look at the league requirements and the stadium needs to hold at least 1950. The stadium which is still being built will only hold 1,300. So I am not sure what will happen when we allegedly are due to move in at the end of the season EDIT We take on struggling Yeovil in the 2nd round after they overcame AFC Wimbledon in the 1st round replay. One more win could see us in with the big boys. This should at least clear out debt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might be hard wired, I've never seen them this high up the pyramid before either so we shall see The wrong side of an 8 goal epic, the scoreline flatters us after we bagged a late brace as Mirza completed his hatrick. Going down to ten men early on didn't help. I fined Hughes a weeks wages and he kicked off wanting to leave so offered him mutual termination but he turned that down as well, I have since shoved him in the reserves for his insolence. Takeover complete and debt has been cleared albeit for a small bank loan. Delighted to be in the green again and used this to try and get the board to make some improvements. Finally get a coaching course as well as an increase in youth recruitment with the club also extending my contract.

argento Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 January-March 2021 We've been unable to sustain any sort of consistency this year and as such have dropped out of contention for promotion, its still possible but highly unlikely, losing 5-4 to Staines after going 3-0 up was a bitter blow and would've seen us back in the play offs at that point, home to Mersham as well we were winning 1-0 till Dean was sent off in the 82nd minute and we conceded twice. Jon Parkin still banging the goals in but the 39 year old wont sign a new deal as he doesn't think he can keep up his form at this level. 5 games left and its a two horse race for the title, a few sides still lurking outside hoping for a play off spot but I think the top 5 is pretty much sorted at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 April 2018 4 big wins as we have had a rather straight forward run in and combined with the capitulation of Staines we are now back in the play offs. Jenk Acar finally in the goals again after a 20 hour drought, couldn't of came at a better time. Last game of the season we are home to Hornchurch whilst Staines look to overcome the now 2 point deficit against 7th place Lowestoft. Some good news for us as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Staines drew with Lowestoft so we were safe anyway but we still signed off the regular season with a win, Jon Parkin was outstanding in the first half but in the 2nd half he tired quite quickly. I think he would still be useful for us but he still wont sign a new deal. I thought the play offs would be 2nd v 5th and 3rd v 4th but it turns out its 4th v 5th. One game only and we have home advantage But it wasn't enough, a bumper crowd saw us outclassed by Royston. Royston would go on to lose the final to Folkestone 1-0. To be honest I am happy with the season, top 5 finish and a good FA Cup run that got us back in the black. Now to push on and get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Pre Season 21/22 Not too much pressure then Made some money this transfer window which helps since we are losing money every month, all of our FA Cup money has gone. Also out the door is Jon Parkin who decided to hang up his boots and I released a few players rather than renew there deals. My squad is bigger this year as we struggled at points of the season last year with suspensions and injuries. Went a bit overboard on the strikers as 3 new ones came in, I still have Hunt and Mirza who have been here from the start, Hunt is on a non contract and is no longer as prolific so will be reduced to back up and although Mirza still scoring for fun the coaches aren't that impressed anymore so he may well have reached his level. But with 222 goals in all competitions from 4 years I will not be releasing him just yet So lets look at a few of the new arrivals Been in the Brighton youth set up past 4 years and looks a hell of a player, snagged him on a 2 year deal. Him and Mirza partnership could be lethal With Gooding and O'Leary still on their amateur deals and in their mid 30's and no longer the players I signed I decided I needed some more steel in the midfield which big Tyrone does.

Yeah I think I'll be cutting it fine, but normally I don't get the new one straight away, i'll be looking to keep this going for a while yet August/September 2021 Huge win at home to Braintree to start the season right and new boy Cashman enjoying a great debut with a hatrick, although overall Ricky Miller has been the most consistent and has managed to get in ahead of Mirza temporarily. Wins in both cups we are in so far so currently still in all competitions. Could do with a cup run or a decent away gate as we are pretty broke again. Just ahead in the league at the moment could be quite a close affair which would make it an interesting season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Huge win even though Perry Ryan done his utmost to ruin it and that is his 4th red card in two years. Mirza once again our hero taking up the mantle alongside Ricky Miller with Cashman out injured. Good gate as well so we are currently 3 figures in the black for the first time in a while, how long we can keep it this way is another thing. Our cup run hasn't gone unnoticed Went for the interview can't see me getting the job and I don't want it, just tried to get some youth facilities or a coaching course out of it but no dice. Anyone who do we get in the 2nd round you ask? Least he'd be right, we've got no fans but we do have a realistic shot at reaching the 3rd round!

argento Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 October/November 2021 We've had a good few months as we progressed in all cup competitions, we picked up a fair few points in the league but we did throw a few games away most notably losing 3-2 in Cambridge after going 2-0 up, we also lost to bottom place Sudbury at home which was disappointing. Huge win last game out with an 8-3 win with Mirza bagging 4. The board expect me to win the league and are currently very unhappy with our league position despite our 4 games in hand which if we won all would put us right bang in the mix.

Huge win against Wealdstone as we make the third round, wasn't a strong gate but we got just under £30k for winning which has helped us keep things afloat. I've used the money in the bank to throw my weight around and make a few demands Hoping this might be a start in getting a few decent prospects through the academy. Now finally the FA Cup 3rd round draw This is huge and should give us a decent profit off the gate.

argento Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 The board kept their promise and we finally get an increase in facilities. Also with us getting into the Conference South our stadium isn't up to scatch as we need to increase the capacity to take us up to 3,000. I used the editor to change the stadiums location to King's Lynn hoping we would get a more apt ground share after last time but sadly we are back in Bromley again. Kinda annoying but it is just for one season, Least they aren't asking me to win the title again. Press are expecting an 8th place position I would take that happily. We trimmed the fat of the squad with a lot of fringe players heading out, I have remained loyal to the core of the squad but with each step up some players have just been collecting dust so figured i'd free up the wage bill for re-reinforcements for players who will contribute more. With Andy Taylor and Gareth Dean approaching or already in their mid 30's I signed them to non-contract's on less than what I was paying them per week.

argento Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 End of Year Report 2022 We have had a fantastic start to the season as the reinforcements brought in have helped us reach the summit of the Conference South. Ricky Miller and Dan Cashman proving to be a lethal combination. We had a good run in the FA Cup which including a 2-2 draw at Swindon which got us a decent gate but we came up short in the replay. I signed a few more players I Signed Irish striker Ramadan who left Bury and has scored 90 league goals in 3 seasons, however he wasn't up to scratch and as he was on a non-contract agreement I let him go. I managed to bag Baker-Richardson who I tried to sign in the summer but he wanted £1,000 a week which was way too much for us to afford but he has since come to reason scoring 3 times and grabbing 3 assists in 5 starts. Perry Ryan has been a great servant in the middle of the park but his disciplinary problems keep causing suspensions and victories, Dinsmore and Howell are struggling at this level so I brought in Kenyon here, it helps he can also play at centre half to deputise there when we are short. He has been playing in Conference and League 2 with Wycombe so he is used to this level League is extremely close with Woking proving to be a decent threat this year.

argento Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 With the gate receipts from our games with Swindon I was able to convince the board to improve our junior coaching and youth recruitment, neither is where I want it to be an i'm still yet to have a top prospect With no cup games in the back half of the season we were able to focus on the league and thanks to Miller and Cashman who have fired us to hopefully go all the way With just one game left to play its all in the balance as Woking have matched us all year, with our superior goal difference the odds are in our favour.

Hampton gave us a late scare but a strong first half showing was enough for us to secure the win and head to the final, it used to be a day at Wembley but it seems we are playing "at home" aka Bromley. We take on 3rd place Aldershot in the final. It will also be Ricky Miller's last game as he is retiring end of season despite my best attempts at the 34 year old to give me another year, lets hope he can finish in style then Lets just say the game didn't disappoint the neutrals So we went 2-0 down but Miller struck back in the first half to give us hope, Hughes levelled around the hour mark an then Miller converted a penalty and we were in front for the first time and they level again. Extra time beckons when Miller grabs a hatrick scoring in the 93rd minute, they go down to ten men but still in the 97th minute Crittenden equalises, couldn't believe it.... Feared the worst but we scored all our pens and we have won promotion to the Conference, what a way for Miller to sign off his career with a hatrick, scoring the first in the shoot out on the way for us to seal promotion, will forever go down in Downham Town folklore Promotion has brought about this about which I am delighted by End of season awards see the Downham Boyz heavily featured 41 goals for Miller, what a hero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argento Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Back home! Although from what I can see the Conference minimum capacity is 4,000 so I imagine it'll only be a brief stay at the Downham Stadium which has caused us no end of problems. Decent increase in sponsorship slow progress being made there, but progress none the less. The standard youth recruitment/junior coaching improvement shot Low expectations so no pressure this season thankfully Our youth team now play in actual league The current squad after some players were released at the end of their contracts, some of the bit part players like Dinsmore and Hughes are on non-contract agreements, Miller-Neave is on a month to month deal, he's not good enough but with no replacement yet and 35 year old Andy Taylor being released he will stay for now. The big news is Ricky Miller retired from professional football but we are semi professional, he wont sign a new deal as "he's retired" but he hasn't left so he will remain month to month. huge news since he has scored 92 goals in 114 games in all competitons. If we get another big season he could move from a club icon to a club legend alongside Mirza Sedjic, Ben Hunt and myself. Loughborough were relegated on goal difference so sadly I wont be facing the other side who flew through the ranks, they signed Adam Lallana right at the end and despite picking up 11/18 points they couldn't overturn the damage already done. Billericay won promotion to League 1 and Dulwich made it four successive promotions as they won League 2 easily.

ToMexico!! Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Well done on the cup win and solid season in the league. Strong sale for non-league level still, are you going to reinvest the money? Could easily find some good players plus a new striker that you need now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily find some good players plus a new striker that you need now I'm having trouble attracting top players to join our side permanently so I have been dipping into the loan market bringing in 3 players including a striker As for the money I got the board to finally agree to improve some facilities Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
