Maybe local rivals have been awkward about renting us their grounds? Or we asked & like BPA they dont pass ground grading for our level? From what I've heard - not just tittle tattle but actual news reports - there has been vandalism at Throstle Nest as well as the pitch being dug up. Who knows...

SAYING that - I seem to recall some small-print rule about playing games somewhere else that is a further/more awkward journey for the away side being something u r penalised for (financially or pts-wise). So we could play southport at curzon ok, but would get grief if the game was played at...

Yep I too was surprised that the Horsfall game(s) have been switched. Also agree that going at least half of the way to leamintun to play a 'home' game seems weird. Surely somewhere nearer was available? We'd have been better just reversing it like the others.

Fedora- never heard of this Afuye fella so he must have been at the pram-makers last season in the NPL.

This season's new boys are struggling, in the main. Needham & marine seem a bit toothless, oxford ditto dropping in with us. More of a surprise is radcliffe. I saw them last season & had them down as a play off side in 24-25. They have started badly and although it's early days, it will take...

Yes, we have had a pretty good start again this season, especially with the 'all games away' thing. We have a far bigger squad than in the last couple of seasons, so that may help OR be the cause of the issue. Maybe the club want to jettison a few who arent playing, and the management dug their...

I was as surprised as anyone re Clayton D last night. Sounds an odd do, that. The statement is vague- not clear if it's a sacking/parting of ways/resignation to go for another job. A bigger surprise really was Danny Ellis going too- a real hero for the celts. I WOULD SAY reading between the...

Scarboro' captain Coulson has left the club. From what I understand he was mainly being paid by Flamingoland so with Gordon Gibb taking his ball home, so to speak, will he be the first 'star' signing of their project Field of dreams stadium??

Its weird in this div this yr. Really looks like anyone can beat anyone on any given day. Just reading the comments on here - 2 sides play against same opponent in consecutive wks and its 'they were brilliant - best side we've played' to 'really easy win - they'll get relegated, as we were...

We put out something of a scratch side yesterday, but must admit i hadnt expected radcliffe to be as good as they were. Wouldnt say they were amazing 1-11 but certainly had several players from a much better level- Alti etc. That fella Oyibo is the best player Ive seen all year. Thought they...

Really? Id be surprised at him pitching up at either former club. SUPPOSE I'd say more likely us as we are 'meh!' about him - was a squad player for us in the glue league 2nd div and couldnt get much game time then. Hasnt irritated us nor impressed us since. From what i gather he has seriously...

well that's good for you - securing the ground is a big step

good draw at southport for us last night. Id have taken that at 7pm yesterday given we have an awful record there. The div looked to spread out slightly after last night's games- some have games in hand tho' so could tighten back up.

On a side note, dunno if anyone has heard the stuff about Pickering Town? They are gonna move in at/next to Flamingoland - which is near but not actually in the town. So basically leaving their ground and home town. Assuming Gordon Gibb (F'Land owner and 1 time Bradford C co-owner) is gonna now...

Wow Darlo- genuine sympathy. Cant have been any fun for yer- suppose at least u got home for midnight. Could have been B Stortford etc. That is some slight consolation, mind. I see u mentioned Hazel being pushed out - is that official? Has he been sold on, as ive not seen him announced as a...

2 good wins in a wk and it only moves us up 2 places... this season is the maddest ive seen/can recall. 10-12 teams are only a point apart. At this rate a side in 12th after 45 games could be in the position of either reaching 6th & playoffs OR get relegated in 21st, depending on the final...

Went to see the Celts win comfortably at scarbro yesterday. Didnt think we were great actually but were loads better than them. As ive said on here since last season, they were just relying on a run of form at the start of 22-23. They've been pretty poor in this calendar year (returning to true...

Lakeland jumps ship from his 'precious curzon'... about right. Treated you lot just like he did with us. Slightly surprised at the next destination tbh. They're pro & he cant commute it from blackburn, so he'll be having to move the family down there. I'd have figured he was eyeing Alti or...

What's the deal with the spendymoor fella? Thought he had it pretty cushy there? Hoping for another job - Darlo? ( but missed out on it...)

TBF there Dave, pinching half or more of FCFCs side is hardly rejects. Barton, Hayhurst, Spencer were certainly not rejected. There's others too. I imagine Jimmy's still pro for example. And on more than we were paying him.
