There was due to be an U23 match at Tatnam tonight but Gillingham are unable to field a team so the game will not be going ahead.

I can remember back in the "good ole days" of the Western League when - I think it was Minehead (or maybe Ilfracombe) - arrived at the ground "that dare not speak its name" a man short. No subs in those days so - as I recall - a member of the Poole crowd volunteered to turn out for the opposition.
We should have offered to lend Gillingham one or two of our lads.

Aaah the great days of
Peasedown MW (Miners Welfare)
Hoffmans Athletic
Clandown
Radstock Town
Stonehouse
etc!
and the reserves game sheet was 1d!
only another 5 years to go at Tatnam although the pitch does look sweet these days!

SXXXXXM Trivia
Did you know that the steel fencing around the original Speedway Track was made from redundant Anderson Air Raid shelters?
Did you know that the teams and the refs had to run out(and in) across the terraces from the dressing rooms that are now the Offices
So if the Ref(and the Town) had a bad day he and the linos were subject to some very boisterous treatment as the came off the field! Notices will be Posted!
