Following promotion last season Guernsey have carried on where they left off.
They currently sit in 2nd place in the combined counties Premier division
although they have 24 points from 9 games. The leaders Egham town have 27 from 12 so Guernsey look well placed.
The break down so far is won 8 lost 1 with 38 goals scored and 8 conceded.
This year they entered the FA Vase and have just made it to the 2nd round proper but have been draw against unbeaten Erith Town from the Kent League and apparently one of the strongest teams in the competion.
Next year they enter the FA cup, lets hope they make it to the 1st round proper and draw the U's at home !!!!(a club from the C/C prem is one game from first round this year (playing Met Police in final qualifying round)

THE world’s most famous cup competition will be coming to the island in August after Guernsey FC were confirmed entry into next season’s FA Cup.
The Green Lions are eligible to enter for the first time after filling in the necessary paperwork and having had their ground grading cleared by the FA.
They will either be in the hat for the extra-preliminary round, to be played on Saturday 17 August, or receive a bye into the preliminary round a fortnight later, depending on which level of football GFC are playing next season.
‘We said from the start that it was our plan to bring FA Cup football to the island as soon as was possible,’ said GFC chairman Steve Dewsnip, pictured.
‘Our FA Vase run was brilliant and we loved every moment of it, but there is no doubt that the magic of the FA Cup brings something extra with it.’

Great news
I fear the fixture backlog/ pile up is going to cost you the Championship although there is a possibility of still gaining promotion to the Ryman league if you finish 2nd as the Ryman League is expanding next season
You need to get to a game before the season ends. You have plenty of choice as you have your final 4 games all at home this weekend, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Fingers crossed you win tonight |  | | |

Still an outside chance of Championship
3 Games remaining, all at home, Saturday, Sunday & Monday. | | | |

How bizarre my message board mates know the Guernsey score before I do .
As he happens tonight I was playing cricket for the first time in 10 years ( at 48 The ball seems harder and faster) across the road from the footie ground in the build up to the match the music made me feel like I was playing in the IPL !!!!!!!!
But when the match started all quite so no clue about game
However good news I carried my bat for at least 7 balls 1 NO dropped a catch but dived full length to stop a certain 4 · We won just , I am now in traction and easing the pain with a bottle of red !!!! I should have watched the match maybe tomorrow !!!!!!!!
Ps don't let the wife to be know I batted I swore I wouldn't as she worried about facial injury prior to wedding in 3 weeks | | | |

Epic Fail
Planned my Sat to have lie in, gym, then to watch Guernsey at 15-00
Had lie in , left for gym at 13-10 only to hear roar of crowd at the ground as the first of eight goals went in
Yes a 13-00 kick off not 15-00
Egham won title Guernsey guaranteed second but need points from last two games to get promotion. | | | |

The FA Vase run and subsequent fixture backlog has cost Guernsey the title.
Guernsey need to win remaining games to ensure their PPG ration is better than 4 other teams in the 5th tier as well the FA agreeing to promotion
PPG - points per game | | | |

Guernsey FC 2, Epsom & Ewell 0
Sunday 5th May 2013, 4:24PM BST.
Late goals from Marc McGrath and Dom Heaume have put Guernsey FC on the brink of promotion from the CCL Premier Division at the first attempt.
On another tense Footes Lane afternoon on Sunday, McGrath struck with a header in the 77th minute to break the deadlock and the lead was doubled by a Heaume header in the dying seconds.
The Green Lions now need just one win from their final game against Farnham Town on Bank Holiday Monday (6 May) to guarantee back-to-back promotions. | | | |

No excuses gsy163 - the team need your support.
Don't forget it is a 13:00 KO.
3 points and it should be guaranteed promotion due to your PPG
I will be watching the result from sunny Colchester. I believe there is a live stream of the game | | | |

What a great thread this has been GSY and very well done to Guernsey FC. How they managed so many games in the last few weeks in beyond my comprehension. Can you imagine our millionaire superstars in the Prem doing it? 
So when does pre-season training start and what league will you be competing in next year? |  | | |

Indeed, it is excellent
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching their results this year as a side show to the mighty CUFC.
gsy163 - thanks for bringing it to the forum
I believe promotion is to the Ryman League | | | |

Woke to a hint from thrilseeker
Up on time, 30 mins 14k on bike in gym felt like Robbie Cowling !!!
Nice fry up before on time departure
Arrived at ground bathed in stunning sunshine. Queued and paid £5 to watch a match for first time in 28 years living in Guernsey. Made my way to raised area on halfway line opposite main stand. Great build up music system hundred times better than Weston homes !!!!
Nervy start but Guernsey soon got into the game and had many chances but it looked like it wasn't going to happen. Roarey the lion did his best to raise a quite crowd but at halftime 0-0. I didn't partake but the burgers looked good.
Guernsey came out pumped up and soon scrambled the lead. After the goal they nearly went to sleep and Farnham played siege hitting the bar with a stinging free kick. However the storm was weathered and a second goal was scored but amazingly the officials said the ball hadn't crossed the line. Local tv shows it certainly was a goal. Following this the game became a little feisty . The forth official showed four mins extra time and the faithful started to celebrate, myself having watched Colchester for so long remained silent. Final minute ball to edge of guernsey box powerdriver towards goal blocked by gsy defender second shot blocked then a third Damn near broke the post, then that was it the whistle went and the crowd of over 1700 went wild.
Confirmed likely to play in Ryman league South next year.
Let's tell Joe to come here for friendly (they had a game against Exeter last pre season)
I will sort out a thread for next year
Have a great summer one and all
One I return will be a shackled married man again ( cant wait)

Great thread.
Ryman league will surely see Guernsey playing some Essex sides next year so maybe we can get together for a game and meet up!
Good luck with the wedding.....personally after two fails am perfectly happy living with my lady love and we have done for 18 years!
Be great if JD could organise a friendly or Guernsey reach first round proper of FA Cup and draw Col U!

The Essex based Ryman clubs play in the North or Premier Leagues.
Ryman South is primarily Sussex, Surrey, Kent and a few South/ West London sides | | | |

gsy163 - some great news
Taken from Guernsey FC website
Guernsey FC is delighted to announce that the FA has confirmed the club's promotion from Step 5 to Step 4 in the English Football League Pyramid.
The FA met today to allocate teams and to approve promotions and relegations. As expected, Guernsey FC will be playing in The Ryman's Isthmian League Division One South next season.
The lower leagues 2013/14 as confirmed by the FA for those interested

Interesting article on the beeb site, Thrill. And then I also followed up with a link or two there.
What stands out is that Guernsey already have to subsidize visiting clubs. So this isn't outside of the realm of roadblocks the club already faces. As I understand it would require £10,000 to play one round because of overhead, etc..
Not exactly a Catch-22 in terms of going up again versus staying strong and solvent, or in this case being able to compete for the FA Trophy. But some related term applies and it's not coming to me.
Oh wait, Bureaucratic Red Tape. | |

Beat me to it thrillseeker
Costs 6k a game for flights and accommodation to bring a team over. Having to share half gate money although the rules seem a bit harsh , considering if they drew clacton away it would be half of a gate of 50 compared to a home gate of 1000
