The Woking Report

@Inter_Alty1977 @BuckledFrame218 @ScunnyIan0 Agreed. Both clubs more than deserve to experience EFL football. Hopefully we both get there someday

@WokingfcReport @BuckledFrame218 @ScunnyIan0 Agree, but that was choice of the Isthmian Lge as explained by attached wikip page on Isthmian Lge History who refused to partake til 1985 In short, we can argue our points of view but both Alty & Woking seem to be at top (no matter which order) & both should be on original list

Biggest clubs in National League/N&S (#nobias) 1.Carlisle 2.Southend 3.Scunthorpe 4.Hartlepool 5.Yeovil 6.Torquay 7.Hereford 8.Chester 9.Darlington 10.Halifax 11.Aldershot 12.Morecambe 13.Dagenham 14.Kidderminster 15. Boston 16.Macclesfield 17. Barrow 18. Forest Green

@Inter_Alty1977 @BuckledFrame218 @ScunnyIan0 Fair enough. Although us not being founding members of the division may have had an impact in us having less seasons and ultimately our collapse down the pyramid through the 80s

@WokingfcReport @BuckledFrame218 @ScunnyIan0 Cont... In short, pre-1979 when all on level playing field (or 1985 if include Isthmian) several Lges could argue to be top league but really same level Alty joined new NPL when formed 1968(then same level as Isthmian) b4 then Lges were mainly regionalised to areas of Eng/Wales

@J3226081354951 @ScunnyIan0 Our weekly fanbase is 40% bigger than yours? Your only claim is two league titles, so 2 in 100+ seasons is enough to claim you are the bigger club? Fanbase means more.

@J3226081354951 @ScunnyIan0 No it's not, before 1979 we spent almost all of our existence in the Isthmian League, which was the step 1 equivalent at the time. Altrincham were bouncing around lower leagues like the Cheshire league

@J3226081354951 @ScunnyIan0 Our attendances are 800 bigger than yours, ours is 2.7k, yours is 1.9k. Considering we are arguing over low trophy numbers I don't think they are that relevant, also Woking has had a huge amount of cupsets as well. I think the fanbase size has more influence in this discussion.

@Inter_Alty1977 @BuckledFrame218 @ScunnyIan0 Step 1 didn't start in 1979. Altrincham spent a lot of time in lower levels before then, Woking were always in step 1 equivalents besides from a few years in the 80s

@WokingfcReport @BuckledFrame218 @ScunnyIan0 List of teams who have spent most seasons in the top Non-Lge Division since the APL (National Lge) was formed in 1979 1979/80 - 2026/27... 34- Alty 31- Woking 30- Kidderminster 29- Northwich Vics 27- Kettering 26- Gateshead 25- Telford Also Alty twice Lge Champs (b4 auto prom)

@J3226081354951 @ScunnyIan0 Nope sorry, Woking has the far bigger fanbase, more FA Trophy wins and more seasons spent in step 1. Alty are also a very big club but not quite as much as Woking

@ScunnyIan0 @WokingfcReport That would be Altrincham the biggest club not to be in the EFL

@BuckledFrame218 @ScunnyIan0 Woking have a much bigger fanbase and more FA trophy wins, and have spent more of our history in step 1 (I think). But I agree Altrincham are also very big considering they've not been in the EFL.

@WokingfcReport @ScunnyIan0 Altrincham surely has to be top, won the national league (then the alliance league) twice in a row but didn't go up because the league didn't have automatic promotion.

@KiranYTFC @ScunnyIan0 I don't think a few years in the EFL trumps our consistency, history and fanbase size. Averaging close to 3k at home for a club which has never been in the EFL is ridiculous.

@WokingfcReport @ScunnyIan0 Dagenham definitely bigger. Darlington probably. FGR as much as they are vegan bastards definitely bigger even in national league they are a bigger club. i’ll accept the fact you are slightly better than boston if not on par.

@FTS_BWFC I always found it strange when people said Garrard would leave. He's Mr Boreham Wood, hundreds of games as a player and even more as a manager of the club.

According to twitter - Luke Garrard is going Matt Rush is going Zak Brunt is going Abdul Abdulmalik is going

Woking's easiest and hardest opponents (25/26) Easiest Gateshead (6pts) (+8) Morecambe (6pts) (+6) Brackley (6pts) (+5) Tamworth (6pts) (+3) Aldershot (6pts) (+2) Hardest FGR (0pts) (-4) Scunny (0pts) (-3) Wealdstone (0pts) (-2) Rochdale (1pt) (-3) Braintree (1pt) (-1)

@boundarymike @ShotsCraig @EsteemSeeker77 @ScunnyIan0 You expecting him to spend all summer coaching? He's not in charge of recruitment so he doesn't need to be in the club every day

@ShotsCraig @EsteemSeeker77 @ScunnyIan0 Okay? Nice opinion there

@WokingfcReport @EsteemSeeker77 @ScunnyIan0 The most arrogant fan base in the country, with nothing to be arrogant about.

@ShotsCraig @EsteemSeeker77 @ScunnyIan0 More likely we get promoted to the EFL within a decade then you do, let's be serious right now 😂

@WokingfcReport @EsteemSeeker77 @ScunnyIan0 And is highly likely to remain you for eternity

@EsteemSeeker77 @ScunnyIan0 No he meant the biggest club to have never played in the EFL. Which is easily us. And we are bigger than FGR without a shadow of a doubt, they struggle to get 2k at home

@ScunnyIan0 @WokingfcReport Woking are no bigger than any of Barrow, Harrogate or FGR. “biggest club not to be in efl”? 😂🤣 Carlisle, Scunthorpe, Southend and Hartlepool are all bigger than Woking, and to my knowledge none of those have been promoted to the efl.

@ikiekikdkeodkoe He'd rather stay at Ipswich and go out on loan for a few years I'm sure. Would be very unusual if not

@WokingfcReport He might not want to sign a new contract, realistically probably not going to ever play for Ipswich

My Woking FC Squad Build (Thread) 👇 I've picked out 6 players I'd like Woking to sign and 1 further position where I couldn't find the right player. Let me know your thoughts 💭

@seb_cufc @ScunnyIan0 You know how it is 😂

@WokingfcReport @ScunnyIan0 Here is Woking report yapping again

@KiranYTFC @ScunnyIan0 We are definitely bigger than FGR, Darlington and Dagenham, and there's a case to be made that we are bigger than a handful of other clubs on the list too. Should be at least 15th

@WokingfcReport @ScunnyIan0 Maybe 19th

@tayl8317hufc Fair enough. I do think we will finish between 6th and 10th, maybe I've been a bit aspirational putting us above Boreham Wood 😂

@WokingfcReport Kiddy and Fylde swap and Woking further down and that’s not an awful shout. Kiddy honestly won’t pick up more than 35 points and that’s not me being fickle they just won’t

Here are my EARLY National League predictions: Will definitely change after I see the summer transfers, at this point I'm just assuming what each club will do in the window. If you want explanations on your club, let me know 👇

@FPL_JimboUK @Madcyril2001 Yeah but they'll sign 207 players and at least 5 of them will be good 💀

@WokingfcReport @Madcyril2001 But yet you have Forest Green in 3rd under the clueless Robbie Savage…. 🤣 Mental. 🤦🏻‍♂️
