Released today about Southport's owners - quite grim reading in part.

https://www.livpost.co.uk/p/special-inv ... collapsing

Makes me glad that We are the owners of Our club

Thanks for a great analysis, as ever, Ginge. Hope your services next season are concerned with our involvement in the other end of the table!

If true, that news is as big as yesterday's three points. :D :roll: Spot on. Terry M looked to be as tall as Lawlor as he took in the applause on the lap of appreciation. I am sure a number of players felt the same & could be influenced to stay. However I am resigned to not seeing Matty Young in a ...

Well done Everyone. Fittingly Everyone named MOTM!

did Banbury get officially relegated last night by Spennymoor which puts them in playoffs at the moment?

Lee got Manager of the month & has taken Moors out of the relegation zone & into playoffs. If we had got Watson & Mitchell in earlier instead of Clowning we would have been up there too.

Radcliffe FC - north of Manchester which will please a lot of our fans in NW

Just when NLN wave goodbye to Bishop Stortford, up come Needham Market FC - almost Ipswich!!

There was something wrong with Southport. It was a big game for them too, yet they looked disinterested. I loved Young’s continual baiting of the same Southport forward 😁 making him run in to the far corner of the penalty box before he picked the ball up. It was pantomime like. Yes, he was almost w...

1 of 7 teams could end up going down. Next Saturday is massive for us. I feel sorriest for Ginge. He's never had so much work to do. I would sooner be in this position of so much work than where we (Quakers fans) were in December. I was not getting up by 7:00am on a cold Saturday morning in Califor...

Aidan is only 1 inch shorter than Mark Beck, but hope he can score as many goals as Beck. It will give us a new attacking option, missing since Beck left.

1" makes all the difference so they say

He's made a start at Warrington so it's not the size but what you do with it.

Don't forget the Council gave us the new all-weather pitch/car park built on former cattle market site! Zero potholes there. Wasted opportunity for a stadium

Reading all the permutations has butterflies in my stomach, dread and fear of ifs and buts; and I just know it will go to last game of the season. Bloody hell

Yes, but at least it feels like it is still in our own hands. Got to keep winning & clean sheets.

Moving swiftly on, yeah I know it ruins the weekend.
Team for Friday .
Young.
Griffiths Lees Lawlor Barrow.
Rivers Hatfield Platt Cornish.
Main Rutledge.

No room for J Knowles (Boston loanee)? Need someone to replicate what he did at least. Asante?

Felt sorry for the large travelling contingent who were badly let down by our 2nd half display. Poor game management after we've scored, cost us dearly.

Think I saw a photo of Main getting off the coach at Rushsall

Straight from Birmingham International Airport?

Would have loved to see David Speedie upfront with Marco.
Alan Walsh on the wing to provide for them both.

I think that they relaxed the Saturday embargo but that this was only a temporary move and stopped some time at or near the beginning of this month. I know that it does not have the same profile as an FA cup game but for me it is beginning to feel a bit like the trip to Walsall in terms of importan...

Next week reminds me of our game v Colchester in 89. Not win or bust, but certainly not lose. I say that because Bishops Stortford is one of their games in hand. 89 was roles reversed, as we were on an OK run, but Colchester was on a great run, and we crumbled under the pressure of the occasion. Wi...

We would have lost that game over the last 12 months. Watson is getting the best from this group of players and for some of them, we are seeing why Armstrong brought them in, Platt, Lees and Salkeld in particular Yep, Cam Salkeld just keeps getting better as his confidence grows. Really needed some...

On the positive side, no risk of a 10 point deduction for going into administration or Financial Fair Play penalty.

Points on the board are better than games in hand for Banbury given the state of their pitch & internal strife. We just need to keep winning & Steve W plus Terry have the nous to keep us up (with the crowd behind them!)

Massive win & seemed in control most of the game, apart from last 15 minutes. Credit to Steve W & Terry, in fact the whole team & travelling support. I think we could easily get some of the nail bars in town as sponsors or at least pay for an advertising hoarding at BM.

Nice to have you back on the Forum, Ginge01. Hope your divinations are right & we can avoid relegation.

Worried with how knackered they all look. Desperately need some new bodies in but doesn't seem to be any whiff of that. We're a Cedric Main injury away from disaster. I was thinking that about Main yesterday. If he got nobbled we would be in bother. You are forgetting about Asante who is only two m...

Ask any Rochdale fan who are currently in dire financial trouble e.g. need £2M to avoid liquidation. There are now 2 interested parties after an EGM decided to dilute the fans ownership by issuing 9 million new shares but seeking to retain the "golden share" which would allow them to protect the nam...

50/50 draw is about the only gambling I am happy to have the club linked to.

Great victory for SW, TM & the club. Everyone played their part to the max, including the big crowd who were behind the lads from the start to finish. Even the seated stand applauded for a throw in after a great tackle. Lot of positive football and high conversion rate of goals to chances & goals we...

Form table from the last 5 games has us 2nd with 12 points and Scunny 16th with only 5 which is a lot better than it was when we were due to play them originally. The most important thing for me is we don't pick up any more injuries and that our heads don't drop it we do lose, because they are a go...

You know what, when I was looking at Matty warming up, windmilling his arms and flinging them from side to side I thought I was watching Tony Moor! That used to be what he used to do before every game.(Note to younger readers, he was our keeper in the 1960s and quite a good one). Good enough that E...
