They gave Wrexham 350 tickets for an FA Cup tie there 2-3 years ago, so I can see a similar allocation being given to any side with a large away following. Due to locality and ease of access we could comfortably take more than that, and Chester could easily take double that. I can see it being...
Their ground won't meet the criteria, and they may struggle to get it up to standard due to the lack of space they have. They need to get the capacity up to 3000 and demonstrate an ability to expand to 4000, both of which would be a challenge without knocking down their current stand behind the...
We were comfortably beaten by South Shields yesterday, again showing our ability to make stupid mistakes which lead to all of their goals. It made a change to go to a match that actually didn't matter much to us, and was enjoyable despite the defeat. Glad to put this season to bed, it's been a...
Darlo were deserved winners today. We shot ourselves in the foot in the first ten minutes by standing off Main, allowing him time to bring the ball down and pick his spot in the bottom corner, then again by Renshaw parrying a corner into his own net. Game over after that, we had a couple of...
I've just checked the stats section of our official website. The last time you won at Haig Avenue appears to be 30th October 1970. That might be why you can't remember!
We have only ever one twice at your place in non-league football, with one of those being an end of season dead rubber. Our record at Blackwell Meadows is pretty dreadful, so I'm not sure how you view us as a bogey side. If the game was at our place then it would be a different story!
To be fair I can't believe we didn't get a point out of the game. First half you were the better side, but other than one goalmouth scramble there was nothing other than a routine save for our 42 year old goalkeeping coach to make. Second half we were the better side but couldn't hit the target...
Chester 0-1 Southport
First league win at the Deva Stadium for 20-something years for us. We were good value for it too. Chester had a lot of the ball but looked a shadow of the side who pulled us apart earlier this season. When we got the ball down and played we caused them problems, but we...
A well deserved 3-0 win away at Warrington for us tonight, and the way results went we needed it! This relegation battle is something else, 53 or 54 points might be the safety mark this season.
We battered Scarborough in the first half tonight, but just couldn't score. Took the lead early in the second half with a long range header, then after that we barely saw the ball again Backs to the wall stuff for most of the second half, even more so when Burgess was sent off, but ground out a...
Southport 2-0 Darlington
Darlo fans, what the hell has that sour faced idiot Josh Gowling done to you? That team has the ability to stay up, but looked devoid of any confidence.
Have to say we deserved the win, purely because other that a goalmouth scramble and a shot well wide Darlo offered...
It was another game where our substandard central defense cost us. I thought we started brightly but from around 10 minutes up until half time it was all Gloucester and the 1-0 scoreline was a fair reflection. Second half we were better, but the saves your keeper made were generally quite close...
When we were in form we were compact at the back and counter-attacked with pace. Now we've our two best centre backs injured, our manager shoehorning in his signings ahead of players who were doing well, and out style of play has become slow sideways passing with a cumbersome target man starting...
A fair report, particularly our "0" in midfield. First half was an even game, second half was an abject surrender from us and we barely got out of our half. We've been like that for a few games now, sitting off teams and getting punished for it. We seem to be slipping back into the relegation...
We lost 6-1 at Chesterfield. Took a deserved lead after 17 mins, then they grew into the game, equalised then took the lead just before half time. Second half we continued to stand off them and they bossed it and added another. After that we brought on Carver and Walton and had a right go at...
A 1-0 win away at Buxton for us. We scored early on with a goal of the season contender from Mikey O'Neill, and were the better side for a lot of the first half. We got a penalty early on in the second half but sent it wide, and after that we barely had a touch of the ball. Buxton were pretty...
Disappointed not to get something at Scunthorpe tonight, but we just ran out of legs in the second half and our options on the bench weren't great (one recalled from Bamber Bridge, a right-back, a half-fit centre back and a child). Scunthorpe's goal came from a dubious free kick given for a foul...
Brad Holmes (on loan from Blackpool), but he missed today with a back issue. After that it could be a case of playing Niall Watson or Josh Hmami out of position. We picked up a couple of knocks today too, so we really could be down to the bare bones.
From what I've heard Bennett can't play against you, and whilst Carver could play (there is no clause in the deal preventing him from doing so) there is a gentleman's agreement that we won't play him. It only seems fair given that you are probably still paying some of his wages.
