2016/17 National League North

[BigDaveCUFC]

Worcester must be in bad shape as they put whole team available not long ago, plus Telford still have problems I think.

Fylde vs darlo and kiddy vs Halifax look massive games.

We host Gloucester....half price entrance day, sadly weather is crap tomorrow so wont add many then the usual 200 odd. Tough game as they are in good form.

How did Adam Nowakowski get on being on loan at BPA but playing you guys?
Good lad who deserved better from his time at Town and could easily still be one of our legion of midfielders.

Adam has signed for BPA full time now. He played well by all accounts very solid in the middle of the park which helped to make it the tight game it was.

Agree with you about his quality though. Felt he was a little under appreciated at Darlo could play CB, CM or FC never really put too many steps wrong in any of those positions for us. Unfortunately he fractured his cheek bone in one of his first games for us last season which left him out of the team for 3 months. By the time he got back Turnbull had established himself as irreplaceable in our midfield and both Scott and Portas were inform along side him so he never really got another chance.

I'm confused, what are you on about?

Sos should have said has ground passed conference premier ground gradeing? I know barrow had to have plans in place for upgrades before they can be allowed in play offs

Barrows ground is fine - they've had the capacity increased to over 5,000 (without any additional work needed) by the conferences ground guy's recommendation after his visit - and have received the ok letter from the football league.

Really tough game tomorrow at home to Darlington. They looked really good at there place but we're top of the league, at home and we should have a fully fit squad to choose from for the first time since Christmas. We'll win as will Kiddy

Any reason Fylde have stopped our man filming his usual excellent highlights package at Mill Farm today. Very dissapointed to say the least. Not had a problem with anyone else.

P.s must have been a Football League flashback DSL.

Didnt realize you were playing at Mansfield today mate.

Harriers said that they hadn't been given permission to publish highlights from our game at Fylde either. As if more reasons to dislike them were needed...

 

[HarrogateMackem]

To be fare, there has been steady progress off pitch this year. The Highlights are a big improvement and communication is better then it has been, if still not great. Youth development must be working well seen as they are about to win the league. Lady's team smashed the league without dropping a point.
Surely if we fail to make the playoffs next season full time then Weaver will dump his Son. . . Surely!

I don't think he ever will. Its so frustrating as I genuinely think well over half the managers in the league would have managed to get us promoted. Just a fraction of the investment in players could have got us a top name manager and suddenly we're off and running.

 

[Southern Shayman]

Do Kidderminster employ a groundsman and/or own a fork. 6 yard box with massive puddles at this end and no sign of anyone. Tinpot.

No except for those 3 guys with forks forking the pitch for the past 20 minutes

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Feel very sorry for poor Curzon. They do half price ticket offer today and still cannot get over that 200 odd fans.........just not able to grow really

 

[Southern Shayman]

Christ we've been awful. Kiddy pacy going forwards and a front 3 willing to hit the deck at any opportunity.

Gonna be 4 or 5 this

 

[Southern Shayman]

We should have been 3 0 down but thankfully Kiddy have had one of the worst halves of finishing I think I've ever seen.

We grew in to the game when we got a foot in midfield and realised their 5 is utterly woeful and had the best of the last 20 mins with Kiddy looking dangerous still.

Kiddy won a 45th min penalty that I didn't get a proper look at but, there didn't seem to be too many appeals for. He the proceeded to put it about 4 yards wide.

1-1 and this could be any score if Kiddy work out what those big white posts with the net on it are there for.

Penalty Croasdale headed the ball as Sinnot went to boot it, high foot its a foul just don't normally see them given for penalties but I think we've had 5 pens this season scored 2

 

[B2TF]

Shaymen well on top.

 

[Southern Shayman]

Smash and fucking grab!

Get in!

 

[B2TF]

Just ground them down, basically.

 

[Fyldefan]

Absolutely murdered Darlington from the first whistle to the last. Had our players back fit for the first time since Xmas and it should of really been 7 or 8.

Excellent day all round and even the Darlington hooligans won't dampen our spirits. Loads of police outside, loads of photographs taken and no doubt a good number of there fans will be in a spot of bother this coming week

 

[appletablepenny]

In other news, Alty relegated with 5 games to go.

 

[B2TF]

5 of our final 6 opponents have the opportunity to do the double over us. It ain't over till it's over.

 

[JE93]

Same story as all season for us. We are solid enough at the back to be going anywhere this year. Need one or two new CB's but once we have them we could really challenge. We still could get into the playoffs and that would be a massive boost to give us some much needed cash to continue the development of our ground.

Fylde are a very good side. But I would expect them to be with FT training and the budget and acquisitions they have made. Think this win gets them the title. I can imagine they will have the budget and facilities to push on in the conference next year too.

 

[Fyldefan]

Are your away fans always like that JE? Never seen anything like it at any level of football. I went to Darlington earlier in the season and they were a very welcoming set of supporters. Today's lot were a disgrace, kicking off with police, throwing cigarettes and beer all over the stewards, running on the pitch like clowns when they pulled a goal back.

After having a quick glimpse at your forum it seems like those morons only turn up for big games. I also see your official website has put up a statement about your fans today

 

[DarkSithLord]

Alfreton 0-1 Bradford PA

Absolutely horrific. Sunday league at times and had a comedic theme throughout.

Both sides are fortunate to not be further in trouble.

Comfortably the worst game I have seen at the impact....ever.

 

[Prodigal]

Decent response to the very poor display last week, beating a very poor Gainsborough side by 4 goals and keeping a clean sheet. Puts us back in the top five with just 5 games to play, going to be very interesting to see if we can stay there, could all come down to final game at home to Halifax.
Really felt for the Gainsboro fans I spoke to whilst leaving the ground, well done to them for sticking with their team, as bad as the team were. Hope they got home safely.

Commiserations mate. Hope you bounce back soon.

Truth told I wouldn't call them fans. Unfortunately some games tend to bring out the morons who hang on to the club. Unfortunately as is so often the case, 600 or so fans traveled today and the only ones talked about are 15 or 20 trouble makers.

While it is annoying and more needs to be done. We also have circa 2,000 fans who have saved the club from extinction, supported us while we played in exile, fund raised to bring BM up to spec etc. These are the people I would call darlington fans and supporters.

 

[CFC4LIFE]

A LOT better today after a shithouse performance against Curzon, we were robbed at salford, looked like a handball for their goal. Great for walkers confidence after the injury with a hat trick, need 5 more performances like that!

 

[CFC4LIFE]

Also want to say commiserations to alty, sad to see a big non league club go down the shitter

 

[CFC4LIFE]

Also, i was looking through the rules after seeing that flyde and salford had drinks outside, but i was sure that you couldn't in this league, also interesting about darlos grass banking, we had to stop people from going on ours, but i would think it's because of the ground share with bishop Auckland they had at the time. Finally, section Gonzalez played for us, colne, stalybridge and Stockport, but the rules state that a player can only play for 3 clubs in a season
