ATLANTISMAN

Guys as a southerner and massive rugby league fan can I say that the vast majority (If not all of us) totally support all the traditional teams and want them all to be as successful as possible. The reality is although many expansion teams have failed in the current world its expand or die. Lets all expand this great game together:) Love and peace:) P www.atlantisradio.uk (We just played a John Lennon song:)))

Evening Campers:) Amongst all the doom and gloom on here I have thought about this long and hard. When Cornwall County RU take 30/35/40000 to Twickenham does anyone think the vast majority are RU fans certainly not they go because its CORNWALL 90% could not give a Toss about the rugby. The Cornish pirates struggle to get crowds mainly because the rugby is to be blunt ###### I am certain that the masses that would follow the Cornwall brand would be easily hooked on league:) I actually think that Perez could be onto something here and wish them all the success in the world if Cornwall RL are awarded a Monday night match next season on Premier Sport I know that the wife would certainly take a punt with some sponsorship. Why do I know its because I have just told her to do it:))) GOOD LUCK I say Paul

Here is my take on it (For what its worth:) For years i have personally thought that CORNWALL had the potential to become an expansion area for Rugby League. I remember attending a county championship rugby union final at Twickenham around 30 years ago (Over 40000 came from Cornwall no more than 500 from Yorkshire) The rugby was poor the atmosphere generated by the Cornish fans (Many young couples) was on par with anything I have seen at a CC or SL final over the years. This could be a masterstroke by Perez and I wish them all the best compared to other expansion attempts this one has legs:) They should ask Gwenno (Welsh singer that sings in Cornish) to make a club song:)she is fantastic.

After being forced into the Combined Counties League against our will, Beckenham Town we won our first match yesterday at home to Jersey Bulls (Who are pretty much the only team we need to beat this season) hopefully we will be out of it next season and back playing the likes of Whitstable Town/Herne Bay/Faversham Town/Hythe Town/Ramsgate etc and maybe Chatham Town or Sheppey United from our old league will join us. FA clueless bunch of muppets at our level ALL WE WANT IS LOCAL DERBIES :)))) Paul

Could not believe it upto 107K (Was 95 last year before lockdown) off the pop now at least until April 1st 5 mile walk everyday 2/3 runs a week whilst over here. if I can get back to Spain on January 19th will do some mountain hiking and swimming that usually does the trick aim is 85/90K by the summer. P

I am hoping that Covid 19 will see off this crazy FA step system (One can only hope) After a 7-0 away win on Saturday tomorrow we are at home to Tunbridge Wells luckily we are restricted to 300 so no T/Wells fans allowed in ,sadly after they took 13000 to the FA Vase a few years ago around a hardcore of a dozen old oiks who used to follow Chelsea and lived in T/Wells decided that paying 7 quid on a Saturday and 3 pounds a pint was a better option for them P

Last saw Canterbury City play last October (I was on my way back from Spain) and stopped off for the match v Beckenham Town which was played at Faversham Town with my 14 and 10 year old (Now work that one out Mick and Rod eat your heart out OLD SODS: LOL:) p

Saw him play around 1965 P

GOALIE:)

Interesting (Good one for the Quiz night) my team was always Millwall first match I ever saw them play was v Bradford PA in the old Division 4. My friend Peter who runs a bed and breakfast in Herne Bay (I stay there sometimes when watching cricket in Canterbury) played in goal for Plymouth Argyle the day they beat Millwall at the den and ended our unbeaten home record around 50 + matches. Nowadays prefer my non league football fix LOL:) along with rugby league and county cricket PERFECT:) Paul

I agree however we have to be realistic. In Kent many teams go back to the original Southern League in fact as a kid I remember Beckenham playing Canterbury City in a Kent Senior Cup match and Canterbury had just signed Ian Black who before had played for Scotland v England. In those days many Scottish players signed for Kent Southern League teams like Dover/Canterbury/Folkestone/Deal/Margate and Ramsgate as they worked in the Kentish pits. Paul

Its been a bit of a bind with us the Northern League clubs refusing to step up when clearly they should have which is why so many have reached the FA Vase Final recently. 2 strongest areas for Non League Football without doubt North East and Kent. Paul

Wish it was :))) LOL

YES been there seen it done it and there are many like me 20 odd ex Crystal Palace season ticket holders behind the goals at BTFC home games that also go away as well. Interesting at the London Broncos I would say that around 50% also watch non league football. P

Total agree at our level WE WANT KENT LOCAL DERBIES and also its a great day out (Just like Rugby League at lower level) We are what we are, nothing better than a day out at Whitstable Deal etc we were at Dear the other week in early September I took the train locally couple of changes nice restaurant near the beach watched the game (Great club house and bar) wonderful day out much better than wasting money on watching overpaid wallies in the premiership/championship:) Paul

NO the FA will not allow it however next year we are planning a midweek KENT LEAGUE comp featuring teams from our league and the 2 above (16 teams) We would love to go back to many traditional derbies to give you an idea. Whitstable Town v Herne Bay 700/800 Chatham Town v Sheppey United 900 These are 2 figures for last years Step 5/6 Paul

We the mighty BECKENHAM TOWN had 450 yesterday v Chatham Town (300 officially LOL:) but I won't talk abut the 5-1 thrashing:( Will be interesting to see if the FA abort the season again this year if its not completed we were top last year and this season have no chance of finishing in the top 3 due to budget cuts and the obscene amount of money being thrown around by some clubs like Chatham Town budget of £ 5000 a week total madness:( the sooner this crazy pyramid system is dropped at our level and we back to a traditional Kent league the better. P Paul

Just love THE AVENGERS along with THE PRISONER TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED THE SAINT Anything with a theme by Ron Grainger LOL:) P

You will ALL be glad to hear that the mighty BECKENHAM TOWN won 2-0 at DEAL TOWN yesterday Lovely day took the train nice meal in a local bistro pre match, Deal is a wonderful club nice outside pub style bar as well. Weather was good. Paul

I can 100% inform everyone that sadly he won't be playing this season for the mighty BECKENHAM TOWN:) Up the reds Kent footies best:) P

The night before we left for summer school holidays to Spain on Thursday we found 5 lovely duckings out in the grounds checked on them before we left and down to 4 (Damm foxes) locals say that since fox hunting was banned its just got worse as before the sick ones were the only ones caught (Foxes that is) P

Sorry to hear Stay strong and celebrate the good times. P

Dont start me about the NATIONAL TRUST they own half our village as someone left it to them in a will in the 1930,s the organisation is full of old army types who have never paid a penny in their lives and have no grip on reality. * Free accommodation *School fees paid *Free food and drink They have nearly killed off our local pub twice after the old landlord (Over 40 years) was driven to despair over their rent increases over the years.

DEER DEER AND MORE DEER around here in our village, good also to see Hedgehogs returning plenty of rabbits badgers but sadly we don't see many hares nowadays. As for carp our local lake is full of them, its a pain in the neck we all take turns getting up early and looking out for Romanian gypsies and local pikies fishing for them I caught a group the other day with industrial fishing methods they might as well have had a trawler in the lake:( Paul

Always great B Sides ?
