Because you're a hobby club, only where you are because you're bankrolled. You were relegation escapees 3 times and if on only one of those occasions you'd gone you'd have ended up where you rightly belong which is between Steps 8 and 9, which is what will happen when Swampy ups sticks a la R & D.

Apologies to R & D for using you has an example.

If you're going to attack us, at least get your facts right. In our 12 years at this level before DV took over, during which we built The New Lawn, went full time and were averaging crowds of over 1000 (more then several clubs are doing this season), we were only reprieved twice.

Less then Altrincham, who i'm sure you consider a proper club, and only once more then yourselves, or have you forgotten that? And one of those reprieves was only needed because you went bust and distorted the table.

The 2 seasons when we were reprieved, 04/05 and 09/10 the sides turfed out were Northwich and Salisbury, both of whom would have finished below us had they spent their money on paying their creditors rather then on their playing squads. In effect they were cheating.

Our Nantwich tie will be decided on the night, on Tuesday.

Sensible move. Our January is horrendous as it is and it sounds like Nantwich's isn't great either.

Nantwich for us tonight.

Same 16 as the Tranmere game because they're the only 16 we have available!

Really not fussed if we don't progress to be honest. We already have a hectic schedule still being in the FA cup, so with us also doing well in the league I think priorities should be aimed elsewhere than the trophy for me.

Local derby against Macc tonight. With the best will in the world, I can't see anything but another dispiriting defeat. I won't be going, thankfully.

4 changes for us tonight with Waterfall, Woodyard, Arnold and Robinson dropping out, so that tells you how we're approaching this one. Suspect we'd have changed a couple of others if we could.

McCombe, Power, Muldoon and Marriott in.

I've just listened to your interim manager's post match interview from Saturday - laughing with players at how bad they are and not knowing the name of Odejayi - you seem to have managed to get someone worse than Young.

Failed a fitness test apparently, hence young GK Walton on the bench.

Doesn't surprise me at all, he was a poor assistant manager twice

1-1 now BTW

1-1 final score, better than could be expected. Replay next Tuesday night.

Awful game. We played about half of our 1st team and didn't create anything of note. Both goals came out of nothing. We really could have done without a replay but if anyone's interested it's on Thursday 29th December, right in between the two Tranmere games

who was your last defeat against? - us or just after that?
You guys were the last to defeat at home on September 17th, Dover were the last team to beat the following Saturday.
All during the Champion debacle...

Paul Farman was obviously tired of the 'only Farman in the starting XI haven't scored this season', so decided to get himself on the scoresheet. Not often Power gets an assist, so that's a good goal for him, too.

It will be interesting if we are both still on long unbeaten runs when the tv game comes round....

£15 for us at Gateshead, which is a bit steep. Pretty sure we'd have wanted £10 like our other cup games this season.

The game will also be decided on the day.
