I’m off to Matlock v Buxton today. Set up to be a biggy

What a biggy this game was as well. And what a fantastic attendance!

Great win for Matlock against Buxton today definitely in with a fighting chance.

 

[Darlo On Tour]

Northern Premier League had some bumper crowds today that each club should be really proud to boast about.

A total of 12,213 fans went through the turnstiles in the 11 Premier Division games.

Great win for Matlock against Buxton today definitely in with a fighting chance.

Ridiculous crowd and big following from Buxton too. Red card changed the game, Buxton we’re fairly comfortable up until that point

Steve Cunningham is butchering that Buxton side. Brought in a few Step 2 players and Ryan Taylor yet look worse off for it. They were unbeaten with games in hand before he took over and now lost 4 in a row, and half of his total games in charge.

Nearly 5 in a row against Warrington today if it wasn't for Jamie Ward's 14th goal of the season that earned them a draw.

Kevin Phillips is the new manager of South Shields.

A lot of expectation with the club being the only full-time side in the NPL premier.

Wheels well and truly off at Buxton

Buxton have threw this league away after early season form when they were riding high. They haven't won since Dec 11th against Ashton Utd.

 

[Darlo On Tour]

Kevin Phillips off to a decent start at South Shields?

I can't see any hurdles this season that'll get in the way of promotion. They won again tonight and personally I think Phillips is ideal for the job. Talking of promotion Matlock look solid.

 

[Wooderson]

Have South Shields always got such decent gates? They got a bit of cash behind them?

Have South Shields always got such decent gates? They got a bit of cash behind them?

Average crowd this season is 2,011.

The club is ultimately owned by shares, and the company is ultimately owned 100% by Geoffrey Thompson. Ambition wise he's heading for the National League. I think he's well poked up financial wise.

Two of our bigger signings this season (both EFL players as recently as last season) in Joe Bunney and Dean Furman are now at Warrington Rylands of the NPL West division.

Not even the biggest club in Warrington! I guess this is yet another bankrolled side?

Two of our bigger signings this season (both EFL players as recently as last season) in Joe Bunney and Dean Furman are now at Warrington Rylands of the NPL West division.

Not even the biggest club in Warrington! I guess this is yet another bankrolled side?

They are riding high currently 3rd in the NPL West division. Top scorer for them is Kane Drummond with 12 goals to his name.

Average attendance is 251 - Warrington-born Paul Stretford under the name of Triple S seems to be pulling the strings at the club, along with Wayne Rooney and Harry Maguire have provided sponsorship for the club since 2012.
