My nearest non league side are in action in the FA Cup tonight. Staveley Miners are at Nottingham side Basford. Should be on the telly that!! :lol:

Played at Maltby Main many times about 20 years back when i played in the leagues around Doncaster / Pontefract. Great to see it if indeed it is televised anywhere.

I'd like to see each league have it's own 2 hour show once a week where it covers all the news and action as well as features about various clubs and interviews with people etc but a lot more in depth than just the skimming leagues 1 and 2 especially receive currently. I too have bombed out Sky...

In that case every club should let everyone in for a quid. :brill: and they'd still not lose out. :p. In all seriousness i haven't a clue either what the facts are regarding the competition but you could be right.

Yes but how much does it cost clubs to stage these games in the first place. Reduced ticket prices and vastly reduced attendances surely can't see many clubs turn a profit. If they lose all 3 games then they aren't really that much better off even with a 20k payment. Of course i'm a little...

Another clean sheet for us which 5 on the spin now and another unified team performance by all accounts. Lost on pens but not a big deal. More important was the continuation of our good form and consistency. Decent crowd too (bearing in mind it's the chickenfeed trophy) but that may be more to...

If this was any other game tonight v Exeter ie FA Cup, League Cup, League game then i'd be annoyed if we lost. If we lost tonight i wouldn't feel in the slightest bit annoyed. That tells me intrinsically all i need to know about what i think about the competition. The previous format wasn't...

Yeah i heard that. From what i understand they travelled up on the friday and stayed over. One of my (few:woot:) mates who lives in Rotherham went to Cleethorpes for the day on the friday and he said there was an incident on the motorway around South Yorkshire that held them up for ages so that...

We've got Exeter at Huish. It's a dichotomous competition for me this one as on the one hand i hope we get knocked out asap and it's a total waste of everybody's time (IMO) but on the other the lads that take to the pitch still have to go out there and be professional and try to get a job done...

Shame for you lot that they weren't satisfied with some seashells, candy floss and a fridge magnet as a memento of their day by the sea. :lac:

You'll probably wish you had a terraced away end then as you might find yourself a few seats missing come 5pm.

I'm no expert of pitches and it wasn't me playing on it but it looked perfect to me. I was just wondering why each goalmouth area at Blundell Park is raised slightly and uneven. Very quirky but like Son of Cod says, it's always been like that. I accept that some teams like to pass and some...

Not far off indeed GTFCfish. :10: 22 off to be exact.

I dunno mate. To be fair i've not been going to games that long so don't know if it's within 'normal range' or not. Seems a bit weird though as we took nearly 200 to Notts County a few weeks ago for a Friday night game which would surely have been trickier for fans to get to. Grimsby isn't a...

I was one of the 72 Yeovil. Great noise too! I thought there would be about double that tbh but plenty of space to enjoy the game. :bye:

Not a great spectacle today i think it's safe to say. Both teams working really hard and kind of cancelling one another out. I thought it would take summat special or a penalty to break the deadlock and that's how it proved. Absolutely cracking shot and goal from Patrick in a game where we...

Cleggy is just the Donny nickname used for Cleethorpes. What are Meggies?

Going for a day out at Cleggy with the family and sneaking off to the game on Saturday so killing two birds with one stone. Really looking forward to it. Being from Donny originally i must have been to Cleggy about 200 times over the years and used to stay in a mates caravan in the fitties for...

Gutted for my 'second team' Scarborough Athletic couldn't hang on to a 2 goal lead tonight. Matlock levelled in the last minute despite being reduced to ten men minute earlier. The seadogs will be disappointed with that but 4 points is a great start.

Have to say i was pretty shocked to see County beaten tonight. I think it's clear that Nolan needs to work on the defence and quick. Hopefully it's just an early season blip for you County fans.
