FA Cup replays scrapped from R1 in 24/25
As above. No FA cup replays from R1 next season. Seems to be a decision from the Premier League despite them not being involved in those rounds. Terrible for smaller teams throughout the pyramid who can make a fortune from earning replays at higher placed team grounds. Surely there needs to be addit...

Re: Once the dust settles...
There are certainly things that need to be reviewed, changed and communicated based on this year: But first of all we need to secure the services of SW and TM. On decent length contracts too. Give them the vote of confidence they deserve and time to build a squad. 2+1 deals would be a good start. Af...

Re: Looks like they're staying...
Yeh, Young won't be back. I'm sure a new GK will be a priority, and I'd hope that we have a good chance of securing Cornish and Barrow on contracts. If we can get those sorted early on, move out a few of the squad players/under-performers, then we should hopefully have a decent core of a side to fl...

Re: When Watson and Mitchell took over…
Questions as to whether the take over has even happened. No updates to Companies House. New owner largely seems to have been MIA.

Re: Massive credit to Watson and the board
As others have said. No chance of seeing Young back again. And credit to him for that, he has really really shown his quality whilst with us and deserves to be moving up the leagues to test himself. What it really does show though is the quality of goalkeeper available from high level academies who ...

A game which underlined some of the flaws we were seeing pre-Watson. Keeper not commanding his 6 yard box. Lack of pace in the f...

Good write up as ever Ginge. Kings Lynn seem to have found the players and form to pull away from the drop zone. Not unexpected, a full time team should be no where near the relegation zone in this league. I can't help but feel Blyth are a bad round of results away from getting involved in this rele...

Perfect for the 1.5 points per game we needed to survive when they both came in. We really need them both signed up long term, would be a huge boost to the club and the fan b...

Re: South Shields v Darlo
Don't think they can have complaints about the first red. Yes he's a long way out. But 0 covering defenders, Main is running away from Briggs for a 1v1 with the goal keeper and he makes no attempt to play the ball. Those 3 factors combine to mean its a red. The foul on Cornish is tough without a muc...
