As towns, Carlisle and Barrow are definitely upper tier among the places I've been to on awaydays (stayed overnight in both cases, obviously). Characterful grounds with character and towns with character too. And both vastly less grim than other towns with teams in and around this league. I just...
Almost worth coming down to the National League for - that really is looking very southern next year, even when most of the clubs being relegated (from it, as well as to it) are all pretty southern ..... Gateshead the odd man out by far
I think it's pretty clear that Dale's head has been turned by the prospects for high ranking public sector employment once his quasi-mates in the Labour Party come to power, as one imagines they will in the months ahead. They propose forming a nationalized "clean energy" company, and no doubt...
I don't generally want Salford to win anything (or for that matter, outside the present circumstances, for Sutton to lose), but come on Class of 92, pull your fingers out.
Fairly sure that will have sealed our relegation. We offered little, although we have played worse on several occasions this season. Charlie McCann being on international duties (I presume) meant that other players had to step up to his role of passing the ball to the Invisible Man.

I read in an interview with DV somewhere a few months ago where he was asked if he'd fly an Israeli flag as well as the Palestinian Authority one at the ground (back when he was flying the actual Palestinian flag, not the Stroud Megalomaniac personalized shade of green one) and he said "no"...
A (far) away match against a team in a good run of form - exactly the circumstances under which we've been, relatively, flourishing, of late. And really we should have beaten Donny in the reverse fixture.
Still, am a bit concerned we're running out of players, with injuries and ill-discipline...
Bobby Moore was Oxford City's manager for a time, Harry Redknapp was there too! Used to have a nice little ground fairly near the city centre too.
Decent little club but indeed tiny these days. Still, I think there's a case that in both Oxford and Cambridge, back in the day, it was the wrong...
Who knows if we'll be here or not, but I'd definitely prefer Altrincham to come up rather than Bromley or bloody Barnet (or Solihull Moors). They was robbed all those years ago, too..... Would be happy to see Aldershot return to the league, too, that's a properly characterful ground they have.
I'm not betting that we will win on Saturday. Just the sort of game we'd fuck up....before going on to beat Wrexham 4-0.
Last time we won two league games in a row was under Ian Burchnall, in December 2022. Last time we won three league games in a row....was March/April 2022 (v Colchester...
