Was a coming together of 2 or 3 players with the ball in the air in the lead up to Boston's second goal. Nicky Hunt our CB had ended up in the floor not moving. Physio's of both clubs on the pitch quickly and seemed to be holding his neck and subsequently an ambulance was called. Wishing Nicky...
I have a similar record away at Brackley. The only game I've missed there over 4 seasons was our 4-2 win. :lac:
Will be very tough away at Swindon, but in essence its a free hit for us. Biggest shame is no fans, think we would have taken 1000+ down there, made it a good atmosphere like at...
Our record away at Curzon Ashton has been horrible for the most part. But a very commanding performance and 3-0 win today. Should have perhaps added a couple more goals too. Campbell being back fit is a huge plus. Great to see Maguire coming off the bench second half to make his first...
He's a winger not a striker is why.
Really nice lad. Very athletic, got really good pace and was a triple jump champion back in Bermuda so leaps like a salmon. He needs to work on the technical side of his game which hopefully will be easier if he's full time rather than just training two...
Through following a 6-1 win against Tadcaster. Played well on the night and were clinical with the chances we created, but credit to Tadcaster kept going and they deserved their goal for the chances they created. We got a good draw and took advantage. Lowest ranked team possible at home in the...
As you say hopefully minimal impact to them and their families and they recover quickly. Out of interest do you know what the basis for a postponement is? Read Boston's statement last night that seemed to indicate they wanted to go ahead.
Not actually seen any central guidance, so is it based...
To ensure the sustainability of the club going forwards. Clubs have been starved of revenue for months on end, commercial revenue will no doubt have taken a hit at most clubs as will bar and hospitality takings and going forwards all those VAT and rates breaks that were enjoyed will come back...
Fair play. Been lots of good stories coming out of your squad waiving their playoffs money to play the game and similarly taking pay cuts to stay on. All probably testament to your two managers and the team ethic they've built.
My thought is you might be slightly like us last season. On paper...
Think they averaged around 950 a game. No idea how its all financed after their take over by a few local businessmen and 20% or so by their supports club. The have been rumors Williamson puts money in or Graham Wood is back behind the scenes helping out. Tbf to them as full time goes i can...
Gateshead are pretty long odds at 25's considering they're full time and made the playoff semi's in the season just gone after a mediocre start.
York or Fylde should be winning it with their resources. Spenny and Boston well backed as PT clubs, both made some decent signings. All probably...

Above team looks pretty strong for NLN, but the not really sure how we're going to line up formation wise this season. We look good at the top end of the pitch and will be hard...
Would be surprised by this. Imagine Saltmer (currently on trial), Sol Brynn (Boro) or Zac Hemming (Boro) are the 3 most likely candidates.
In other news our application to play home games at the Darlington Arena has been provisionally accepted by the league, subject to a league safety...
Darlo sign full back Tony Mcmahon. Not sure how often he'll be playing, but certainly good experience for the squad and he'll be running the academy as well. Seems like another decent addition.
Pleads poverty and makes big signings quell surprise. They will be one of the biggest spenders in the league solely by staying full time. Only other full time sides are York, Gateshead and Kidderminster (if they've stayed FT?). So would imagine they are immediately second biggest spenders.
So...
Should be a pretty interesting season.
AFC Fylde - expect them to spend big and have the budget to be challenging for the top 3.
AFC Telford United - seemed to make some decent signings early doors. Should be a better season.
Alfreton Town - don't know much about your signings. But would...
Darlo's squad mostly taken shape apart from the GK situation. Alun Armstrong has said he is keeping his powder dry there, we are exploring loan options and currently have Johnathan Saltmer (ex Hull and Barrow on trial with a couple of other keepers to follow on trial over pre-season). We're...
Well done Alty.
Great little club, nice ground and a team who always seem to have played attractive attacking football. Enjoy the NL hope you make a good fight of it.

Offered new deal but not take up:

Genuinely surprised that Andrew Nelson didn't kick on into the Football League after his short spell with us. He looked raw at that point but had plenty of attributes to be a success. I'd say he's pretty direct, likes to get the ball in into feet, get turned and carry it forward 5 or 10 yards...
Got to say, I'm actually glad we didn't make the NLN playoffs this year. It seems like a no win situation for a few clubs at NLN/NLS level.
I can understand it for the NL sides, after all there is the potential reward of the FL league which brings with in neigh on £1m in additional revenue from...
