    Would hope clubs up and down the country would chip in, with all due respect to Os fans.

    National League Fixtures - 21/4/2018

    A beautiful day outside for the first/second Saturday this year, and a good town to visit on the sauce if you fancy building up the anticipation of playoffs. Fans on our forum are already commenting on SWA they've seen in town, like children feeling the presents underneath the tree except we're...

    National League Fixtures - 21/4/2018

    Any Tranmere got an idea on the numbers you're taking? We're all abuzz with rumours that more than minus seven away fans will turn up today, for once.

    Oh my god come on Barra. I can taste the Grasmere gingerbread as I look out from the Old Man of Coniston.

    Yep, they're all essential. You're fully entitled to win the first ten in a row to cement that top place from the start, but you end up with entertaining draws against teams that "will be up there", convincingly thrashing a few bogstandard sides, before quickly collapsing by putting together a...

    Wrecsam, if you're listening, please consider our application. Remember the 99% of well behaved fans who have no part in any of this hoo-ha.

    I should think so too.

    The board urged Cafferty to come in with an offer that gave Tranmere enough moolah to take their pick of League Two's forwards. Norwood arrived at the Proact within two hours and told the press how much he buys into Cafferty's ethos, claiming "we hit it off immediately".

    Chesterfield will sign young manager Donny Cafferty from Scottish Junior League side Vale o' Strathglen, having steered them to three consecutive titles, the most recent one seeing them draw just three matches and lose one. He'll promise to bring attractive, quick, passing football back to the...

    Is it Peterborough or even further south? Then it's various shades of cockney.

    National League Fixtures - 14/4/2018

    A side playing its best football of the season (shape, purpose, bit o' confidence) that's also dead on its feet from travelling down the morning after its third game in six days, versus a Torquay side who don't sound like they've picked up much, but will be fighting for their status in national...

    Match Day National League Fixtures 10/04/2018

    A sumptuous free-kick in the 96th minute to finish the match with our customary home-to-Goatshed point. We deserved all three, but seven points is still a remarkable return when you've had three games that week. Two teams that were blowing from kick-off, but I'm very proud of those boys tonight.

    Match Day National League Fixtures 10/04/2018

    How many sides are still part-time in this league? Thought it was just us and Maidhead. Times like this that the home leg on a midweek is pretty helpful.

    Match Day National League Fixtures 10/04/2018

    Come on and stay up Barra, I want my bonus trip to the Lakes again. Took the houndo up White Combe before our last match at Holker Street then stayed a couple more days for Skidda, Red Pike, Little Dodd and round Watendlath. You can't do that at [checks notes] Woking.

    National League Fixtures - 7/4/2018

    Some very good football from us to beat a decent Morning Wood side whose defence wasn't quite there. We're safe by nine points now with five games left for mucking it up. Entertaining but nervous game that seemed pretty end-to-end throughout, giving them oodles of time to attack while we played...

    It's as effectual as the powers want it to be, really. Like the days when company cars were handed out to executives instead of pay rises. On the other hand, it's made Forest Green's hop and stip into League 1 a little trickier and at least Fleetwood's part of a wider sprawl attached to some...

    Ups and Downs

    We've been safe from relegation since our first win, and unless we can't scrape more than three points together out of these last six games we're still safe, which seems likely now despite being in a bad part of the league for a while now. I've seen Havant & Waterlooville as a force for good...

    National League Fixtures - 30/3/2018

    We're entirely untroubled that a load of people whose idea of a football club is a Qatar 2022-style white elephant for them to leap upon in the 2016/17 season and abandon as soon as their chairman does, should see us as tinpot. I would normally give a toss about away fans causing trouble, but if...

    One of the best things about away days is that they're a once in every few weeks reminder of how lucky we are to be Haligonian.

    National League Fixtures - 30/3/2018

    Feels like the football on offer today was so bad that it's distracted us from talking about what an awful little racket AFC Fylde are. You arrive with 15 minutes to spare, and you enter the ground 15 minutes into the match. Sure you didn't buy advance tickets, but why should you? Members of...
