F-T 0-2 Dortmund looked a really decent team and should win the final which might be at Wycombe.

Final confirmed at Adams Park High Wycombe on Tuesday May 12th KO 7pm- i will be there.

Should be a decent crowd in as the stand i’m in (Origin stand) is sold out.
Whiff away stand available ( away stand normally)

I'm rather hoping the other 3 stands are called, the Elm Park Disease, Taking The Biscuit and Off At Eleven Stands.

Good to see. Hopefully he gets a good loan next season and will be in the first team in the second season once Stevens' contract expires.

Do we really need Rhone, Rowley & Norcott? Are they all good enough to challenge Pereira & Stevens? Think all 3 need to get out for lengthy loans somewhere decent.

I'd rather we kept them on and binned Stevens if we can....not impressed what I saw of him and feels like a Bouzanis type signing stopping youngsters getting valuable first team experience on the bench/cups etc.

I'm of the opinion of being pro Stevens if he takes the bench spot and it allows our young keepers to go out on loan.

That’s because the club forgot to put the U 18’s departures in the article !!

Don't think this has been mentioned anywhere. Miles Obodo joined Farnham Town: https://farnhamtownfc.co.uk/2026/05/far ... m-reading/

Farnham are in the National League South next season after being promoted from the Southern League Premier Division South via the play-offs.

They signed Aaron Kuhl too: https://farnhamtownfc.co.uk/2026/05/far ... rnborough/
