Re: FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round Draw

Hi Quakersam - according to nonleaguematters, there are just 15 teams in our 'zone' - from your list, Alfreton, Boston, Scunthorpe/Brackley, Macclesfield and Worksop are in the next zone south. Which is probably a good thing - some heavy hitters there. Not quite. NLM is showing there were 30 teams ...

FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round - Scarborough (H) 30th Sept 1PM KO

Lots of draws in the FA Cup 2QR today, however I believe these should be the teams in the Northern section of the draw on Monday lunchtime. Not sure why Brackley were drawn against Scunthorpe but I expect that pairing will remain in our section Alfreton Town Blyth Spartans/Bradford PA (replay at Bra...

Re: Darlington V Workington

Well that second half was a much better watch. There must have been some words said at half time as we came out and played on the front foot and had Workington pushed back time after time. The amount of chances created, it could have easily been 7 or 8 but for their keeper who made some stunning sto...

Re: Darlington V Workington

We are utterly painful to watch. 20 minutes in 1-0 up and coasting, kept Workington pretty much in their own half but absolutely no creativity to break through the lines, Moke happy to pass sideways or backwards, no bravery in going forward. Switch off as usual, more schoolboy defending, as usual an...

However, we have to accept that right now the club has hit it's ceiling and we'll have to get use to it, even if we suffer a relegation or two, the budget we have just doesn't stretch far enough to compete and w...

Re: Blackwell Meadows’ floodlights

Yep, this is the main problem for me. I've tried everywhere in the ground and you just can't get a decent view anywhere - except of course up on the balcony where the Darlo aristos frequent. Have you tried the Tinshed? I’ve stood in the same place since we moved there and always got a very good view

It’s almost as if the majority of people want the same back four that conceded 64 goals last season yet shout that very analytical and intellectual “sort the defence out”. It’s absolutely bizarre.
