Stoke Gabriel FC: Non-league side concede 122 goals in 10 games

Post by tiger76 » Tue Oct 13, 2020 8:42 pm

The worst team in Britain used to be Fort William, but I think that unwanted title has a new holder judging by this Devon teams nightmare start to the season.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54507058

Anyone in that neck of the woods who fancies a game should get in touch pronto, I'm sure they'll consider all comers in their predicament.

Played there a few times.

They were given a load of money by the FA for developing the ground, but chose to spend it on players instead. Subsequently got fined and are now skint. They are having to field their youth team to fulfil the first team fixtures

No sympathy from me

I've played there too, many years ago in SDL Prem. They were quite handy then,
That pitch was horrible, levelled farm land , I think and full of sharp stones

I've played there for Teignmouth and Buckfastleigh.

I listened to the interview with their manager today on Talksport. He's optimistic.

I may have played against you - I played for and also managed appledore in the SWPL and Played for holsworthy in the old Devon league


My mate is travelling down from north Devon to play for them. He was asked to help them out as they are desperate for experienced players.

Just read that article. A good read and nice change of pace from the usual "problems" some Premier League clubs have, a la Pep Guardiola needing another few hundred million to spend.

That's a lot of goals to concede in ten games. Hadn't realised Howe and his defensive masterplan was back. :D

I assumed they'd signed Kevin Long.
