Getting it off our Chester

May 5, 2005

Chester City visit the KasStad for the very first time on Saturday, and they find themselves being welcomed by a club in turmoil, as United find themselves managerless, and at the worst possible time. The out-of-contract players at the club are rightly concerned about their futures, and with the transfer window applying to all league  more ]

Argies barged out of Kas

May 5, 2005

The news that (almost) no Oxford fan wanted to hear has just been confirmed. Niether Horacio Rodriguez nor Jean-Marc Goiran are remaining at the club, and Pablo Fernandez is also leaving.

Blankety-blank

Daley mail

April 29, 2005

It’s the season’s penultimate fixture, and United’s last away game, up at Rochdale tomorrow.

Shot away

April 27, 2005

United’s Young Player of the Season, Craig Davies, scored both goals as United reserves beat Aldershot this evening.

Davies gave United  more ]

Southend’s eels well and truly jellied

April 24, 2005

For the second time this season United beat the fourth division leaders 2-1 at the Kas. In January it was Yeovil, this time round it was Southend, and both times the victory was fully deserved.

The top bollocks

April 22, 2005

Top of the table Southend visit the KasStad tomorrow, with rumours of them possibly bringing up to 1800 supporters as they try to consolidate their position.
