Finally, Lady Luck didn't piss on Hyde's chips (it didn't shine on them either but, hey, you can't have everything). Hyde went toe-to-toe with Buxton in a decent game and very even contest but were just edged out by the odd goal in three. Whitby losing means that the remote possibility of...

I'm bored of saying it now and I'm sure you lot are bored of reading it but, you know what, Hyde's run of bad luck shows no signs of ending. A poster on the Hyde forum put it far more eloquently than I could: "On another day we might have got a point or more. On another day the referee might...

And therein lies exactly Vics problem: you're all so f*cking unpleasant. The ground share agreement was clearly understood by both sides to be for 3 seasons, reviewable at the end of each season by either party. Witton exercised the right everybody knew they had but it turns out the agreement...

I haven't followed all the ins and outs of this but I think the £260k figure was going to be a bottom line cost figure (presumably excluding rates though). Apparently we haven't been on a proper lease, just a licence to occupy, and we've ended up getting stiffed for some costs which you would...

To be fair to Kelly (and granted his track record this season doesn't make good reading), he's only had the past 2 games, he's come in after the transfer deadline so can't bring in any new players and I'm not sure either side see it as a long-term thing. Hyde have been on a shocking run since...

Hyde update: new manager, new formation, some new faces (although all kids out of the academy), same run of bad luck. Lost 3-0 to Frickley on Sat who didn't make our keeper make a save the whole game, scoring from 2 free kicks and an OG. Presumably saving themselves for the Darlo game :) . Then...

Hyde on a run of really bad luck at the moment. Lost 1-0 on Sat to Mickleover in a relegation 6 pointer: game spoilt by gale-force winds, hard bobbly pitch and a ref who had a whistle and was determined to use it. Hyde played 80 minutes with 10 men and the only goal was that penalty and, really...

Just clocked this thread! I've been watching a lot of NPL Premier recently as my son has gone on loan to Hyde, but they don't seem to have been playing the same teams as you (Darlo). They did play Rushall mid-week who looked decent: Hyde 1 up and Rushall down to 10 men, then Rushall go 2-1 up...

I know about as much about oatcakes as you (ie, sod all) and I appreciate that every where's in the north looking from Kent, but can we get one thing straight? Stoke isn't in the north.

Indeed, spot on. Wxm fans believe that Glyndwr (the "university") have run the ground inefficiently and have lost interest in it, so there is certainly room for some cost saving and for getting freebies done from fans. There is also some room for income improvement by taking a more pro-active...

Not linked to plastic pitches and cancer but to the big issue with plastic which is playability: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35551542 I'm a massive opponent of plastic pitches and, whether or not there's any legs in the cancer story, the experience of professional players who have to...

If you follow that link and scroll to the bottom, one of the linked stories is that Maidstone need to replace their 3G sooner rather than later and that it hasn't stood the test of time and wear as expected. Ironic or what? Definitely not for me either btw

Wow, practically rendered speechless. Are we sure this isn't a spoof article? Would a 50 y/o bloke seriously own up to using a product called 'Sexy Hair'? I wouldn't even admit to my missus that I was using a "top of the range men's moisturiser" let alone the whole world (well, the whole...

This isn't the first thread recently where you've come out with that smug (not to mention trite) rubbish. You've either got no idea or you're simply wumming. Surely the problem here is that the Conf, unlike any other league, contains 3 or possibly even 4 different types of club and ne'er the...

Good read, cheers. I've recently been sampling the delights of step 4 which, granted, is probably still a few steps better than Sussex County League Div 2 but is also a few steps below my usual stomping ground. Whilst the main thing I have noticed is the "honest endeavour" of the players (and...

Wrexham, long-time residents of this parish at one time although getting a bit dim and distant now. Two unwanted records off the top of my head: First club to receive a 10 point penalty for going into administration, back in 2004/05 when we in League One and which contributed to our relegation...

Well, yes and no really for me. Yes, we were out-thought and yes we saw the bad side of Mills. No, it was never a sending off. Your lad didn't have the ball under control and our defenders were closing so it didn't really tick any boxes as a clear goal scoring opportunity. Definite foul by...

Congratulations, Jemfy (and thank you for taking the time to respond to my post). Whilst I don't really agree with the principle of retiring a shirt, it's obvious that this is a deeply emotional issue and it's difficult to argue that it's not common sense in the circumstances.

This. I also agree that some of the ballooning confidence (you should see our forum) is simply a reaction to how shit we were last season which, fortunately, I didn't have to see too much of. There's no getting away from the fact that we looked really good on Sat but, at the end of the day...

I wouldn't go quite as overboard about Wxm last night as some of my fellow Reds. First half, we were very, very, very average with much more aimless hoofing than I was expecting from a Mills side. Clearly, something suspicious was added to the half time tea because, as poor as we were before...
