He did say one of his priorities was to get them out of this league!

It looks like pretty much the entire squad at Blyth is out of contract and Jon Shaw will be highly likely to get the push so can't really enter into talks with players. There are strong rumours that some have already sorted out deals elsewhere. Wonder what their new owner is feeling right now? Pret...

Seems really tough on the Gateshead team, I can't imagine it will help in their preparations for the FA Trophy final. Their fans must be gutted. One positive, no unexpected game injuries from play-offs. Do agree that rules are being interpreted in several different ways for different clubs when gro...

Chester seem to be a year behìnd DFC and you coulď easily substitute Chester for us in the end of season letter! https://chesterfc.com/a-message-from-th ... directors/

All the best, Ben & thanks for that vital goal at Blyth

Congrats for being spot on about the relegated four and who would have thought we'd end up 16th?
As a bit of an encore, who do you think will go up with Tamworth? If our results are anything to go from, Chorley have got a good chance.

Does Lineker not realise that by scrapping replays, he is doing himself out of appearance money? Or is this a case of turkey voting for Christmas??

Never mind, we can look forward to away trips to Oxford City / Kidderminster / Boreham Wood etc.

I doubt it, not even sure he is still with us.

If he puts either BM or Eastbourne into his Satnav will probably say "address not recognised"

He has been spotted in his bathchair on the prom at Eastbourne asking to join in games on the beach & cashing in his pay cheque to Cayman Islands bank.

Not radical enough for me. Start with 5 penalties, then if all square, play 15mns each way. At end of 30mns if all square, play extra 90 mns. Finally, again if all square, toss a coin. In extreme circumstances, like waterlogged or frozen pitch or Black Death both teams agreeing beforehand, just flip...

Suppose we could chop the Tin Shed into squares & flog it off to raise funds for improvements. Nostalgia does have a value & I was in there 1960's & 70's too.

I take it you mean it won't belong to DFC?

Yep. Remember the 36 inch water main going diagonally from open end that limits building. Surely we can't get rid of the Tin Shed - only part of Feethams we still have?

For those talking about stadium requirements: For National League North you need to have 500 seats and show the ability of how you can upgrade your ground to 4000 capacity. For National League there are no other requirements but to show you can upgrade your ground to 5000 capacity. I would love to ...

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.
