National League North 2024/25

[BigDaveCUFC]

I have been hearing rumours mostly around Facebook that Farsley may have to play up to 17 league games away from home because their pitch has been delayed……would 18 away games in a row be a football record?

Problem is they have not been updating much so be careful if you have them marked away currently it may switch short notice

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 some recovering from them, to do anything like what I expected. Is theirs a money issue? With Kevin Campbell passing away, has the money tap been turned off?

They've got nothing up front.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Of the new boys in Oxford they have surprised me I expected better.

I feel sorry for marine they lost a lot of key players from their side in the summer, they will do well to survive.

Needham is an interesting one because I feel they are solid, they battle they don’t look out of depth but they have absolutely nothing going forward and if you cannot score it’s going to be tough.

Not seen leamington yet, they should have knowledge of what went wrong a couple of seasons ago to cope but indifferent start.

Kiddy have done as expected.

Radcliffe have had a shocking start they spent big this summer and hasn’t worked at all

Trying to play at BPA but needs inspecting apparently before confirming, Leamington (next scheduled home opponents) announced it but then deleted.

Leamington are dull as dishwater, as they always have been. They're absolutely tedious as fuck.

Farsley v Leamington now moved to Alfreton

Farsley v Leamington now moved to Alfreton

Could be a record low attendance for the level at that.

Horsfall no longer passes the grade for NLN despite it doing so just over a year ago when BPA were in this division. Lack of press/director seats and poor barriers around running track.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

It’s abit bloody ridiculous though, I mean it isn’t like farsley vs leamington is going to be a big crowd puller……the one stand at bpa would have done enough.

They’d been better trying to get a game at curzon or stalybridge, better transport routes from farsley.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

How’s people do in the fa cup.

We smashed barnoldswick 6-0 more goals for Mols and Buckley ricketts to keep their confidence going.

Home next week can finally get to it been struggling lately to get to games.

 

[Bottega Don]

We made far too many changes and drew 1-1 with Newcastle Town, just a terrible performance all round

We never win in the FA Cup so who knows if we will win the replay

 

[Farsley Arkan]

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.

 

[Farsley Arkan]

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 York - for example.
So I assume that's the last we'll see of BPA at this sort of level for the foreseeable - regardless of their current playing state.

 

[Farsley Arkan]

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 when we will play actual home games? As said elsewhere on here - dont go booking travelling/accom for coming to us in the league til it certain where the game IS being played ...

We made a few changes for the cup. Signed a loan CB to cover injuries and he lasted 21 minutes before getting injured. Went in at half time 1-0 down to Leek after a poor first half where we were sluggish.

Second half our fitness levels showed and we dominated Leek, finally got the equaliser on the 78th minute. Thought we'd got a winner on the 92nd minute where the only person in the stadium that saw a foul was the ref as he saw a very soft push as Seb Thompson headed home. If that's a foul you get a fouled everytime you jump for the ball. Leek switched off thinking that was it and we went and scored a minute later.

Avoiding the replay is massive honestly. We've got so many injuries an extra few days to get them back is key

 

[Kenneth Dodd]

A pretty routine win as like everyone else we gave game time to a few players but we didn’t need to get out of second gear to beat a very defensive minded opposition

 

[Lucky Bobble]

Pretty routine from Brackley too - versus a suprsingly toothless Truro City.

We've got a 16 man squad though, so we're 'ravaged with injuries' as soon as anyone gets a knock. Can you do 50+ games part-time with 16 men?

 

[Prodigal]

Mossley made Chorley go all the way as they battled really hard, eventually we did score 20 minutes from the end, result never in doubt then, as they pushed to try and get a goal we added 2 more just before the end.

 

[David Curries Mullet]

We beat West Didsbury and Chorlton 2-1. Missed a few chances as per, but a hard fought win. Hatfield next to go off with an injury. God knows who we'll play on Saturday - only able to name 5 subs on Saturday, and don't think any of them had played a single competitive minute for the first team. The fact we've gone 6 unbeaten, and only conceded the one goal on Saturday in that time is testament to the management team.

Was Michael Palin up front for them?
