Game Off?

Game Off?After a referee?s inspection at 3pm today: this evenings Reserves Cup Semi Final is OFF. Bruce Smith saying: ?According to the rule we are duty bound to call in a referee, he took one look and agreed that the match could not go ahead. Yesterday, although it was still sticky from the weekend, it was playable and we were determined to get the game on. Given the amount of rain today on top of already wet surface, we had no choice but to call it off.?

No getting up 'til you eat those greens

No getting up 'til you eat those greens Whitstable Town look to equal the league's best 'unbeaten run' of fourteen at home to VCD Athletic on Saturday afternoon. Of course Marc Seager's troupe will also be looking to avenge last week's defeat in the Kent Senior Trophy, and having had a close look at their team and tactics it should be possible for the management to come up with a plan to unlock Fordy's midfield. The Vickers could also be distracted this week with Premier Division Cup semi-final legs on Thursday and next Tuesday evenings. With 1st playing 3rd in the league on Saturday this could be a great opportunity to close still further on the top of the table. Three points from the game would also put the Reds on an average of 2.04 points per game which is getting in amongst those of other promotion candidates at step five. Now clear that plate!

Foley bust the Oyster Bubble

Foley bust the Oyster Bubble?WTFC 0 VCD 1 Kent Cup: The Belmont Ground 4^th March 2006 After the euphoria of a good league performance last Saturday against erstwhile League Champions Maidstone, it was a below par performance by Marc Seager Whitstable Town as they went out in the semi final of the Kent Cup to VCD. The ?Vickers? came to the Belmont full of confidence after a great run this season in the F.A. Vase when they reached the last sixteen; a feat Town achieved some years ago; going out away to North Ferriby by the single goal. Today, it was Paul Fowley?s perfectly judged header early in the second half, which saw Town, falter within touching distance of silverware loosing by the single goal.

Marc AUDIO:The Big Intervew

Marc Seager AUDIO: Marc speaking about the Maidstone victory and the games ahead: ? I like to think I am a very professional manager I go into every game with a game plan, I watch other sides, talk to people all the time about the opposition and in general learn as much as I can. The lads did exactly what I wanted them to do, they all worked hard and they deserved the victory. Make no mistake Maidstone are a very good side, they have quality players in every position, but then so do we, just because they are young, take nothing away from these lads they are all good players.?

More tea Vickers?

More tea Vickers? After the terrific league result against Maidstone last weekend Whitstable Town return to cup action in the Lea-Ray Kent Senior Trophy Semi-finals this Saturday. Their opponents are VCD Athletic who have been playing extremely well this year, much to the delight of their gritty manager Martin Ford. They remained in the FA Vase competition to the last sixteen where they narrowly missed out by a single goal away at Cammel Laird and are still going strong in the Premier League Cup and the KOF Premier League. Always a tough game Marc Seager will be need maximum effort from his side, one that may have as many as six changes to the team that beat VCD away (3-1) in the League the first Saturday in September. By a strange quirk of fate VCD return to the Belmont for more tea and biscuits next Saturday in a Kent League fixture. Make no mistake they are both important games but the supporters want a cup final and the Reds are just one win away, watch this space.

No big time Charlie?s

No big time Charlies...Peter Budge WTFC reserves assistant manager: Picture: Peter Budge (on left) with first team manager Simon Kay:
?Although we are disappointed we lost on Saturday; when you think we had six changes from the week before then seven changes the week before that its no real surprise that we are lacking a little consistency at the moment. It might seem a bit strange but in a way we are victims of having a successful reserves side, now don?t get me wrong, Marc and Simon along with Mark Lane are doing a fantastic job for this football club and its the lads who are all benefiting from the way Marc embraces all the players at the club. If they are good enough they will all get their chance, as he has proved consistently since he took charge, but like Saturday when the first team had Andy Martin, Ian Hossick, Sam Barker and James Duffy in the squad.
