I love a good come back, but yes Im fairly sure it won’t be Alty now. Come on Solihull!

Now that we’re out of the running

Who do people want to go up ?

For me it’s Altrincham because Bromley is an easy to reach away game and it’s hard to see Solihull remaining strong season on season with their following and resources.

Re: Let's be realistic

This may not be a popular comment, it may also be completely wrong, but..... Do we stand a better chance of getting agreement from LBB re South Underhill, as a national league club? I think we do. That's entirely separate from me wanting us to win yesterday, see us at wembley and be in L2 next seas...

Re: Solihull Moors (THTS) The Minging to Winning Match Thread

Anyone else look at league 2 & think it looks pretty boring - at least we might win a few more games next season……….but we could’ve done that after losing at Wembley next! Even annoyed right now the Wood went down - we take close to 1000 most times there. None of those players gained any experi...

Re: Play Off Semi Final Tickets

Shame we don`t have a south stand behind the other goal should have shifted the Colin Montgomerie stand in from 'the showcase pitch' Should just open the South as is, I’m sure many of us have stood on worse. The old Valley had a spectacular mud slope terrace for away supporter entertainment on wet ...

Re: Are you ready?

Solihull are clearly a very dangerous side. Osbourne, Campbell, Shade - they were a cut above tonight. But as we’ve seen tonight they’re hardly infallible. It’s shaping up to be some occasion on Saturday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Halifax were playing their 5th game in 12 days and came bac...

Re: Big games tonight

An early Halifax goal in the 2nd half and it all gets very energy sapping for both sides.

Re: Are you ready?

It feels different at the moment, more stable, controlled and professional.

I’m envisaging a solid 2-0 win in the semi final without too much hiatus and limited anxiety for most in a nearly full Hive. Mind you I’m also very close to the bottom of the prediction league.

Re: No cup replays

In France and Switzerland the lower-ranked team gets the choice of playing at home but matches can be switched for a variety of reasons, financial and logistical. In the first round in which the big boys entered the Swiss Cup this year, my local village side got drawn against the mighty (by Swiss s...

Re: Gateshead Kicked Out

I think I am right in saying that it is the EFL that has the 10 year rule, not the NL. So Gateshead could have taken part in the play offs and the rule would only have come into effect if they had won at Wembley. Obviously the issue would then have to be addressed, and possibly resolved. The EFL al...

Re: Kidderminster Harriers (THTS) The Hawkward Goodbye Match Thread

Some real selection dilemmas ahead of next week if (fingers crossed) players are back fit. I don’t think Kanu or Brunt did anything at all today to justify starting if Pritchard and Stead are fit. Freeman, on the other hand, impressed again and is surely in contention for a starting spot next weeke...

Re: No cup replays

Agree with dockers and Mikel that arguments can be made either way. 2000-2001 was the last season for two leg League Cup first and second round games I believe. One leg only in 94 would have meant a famous giant killing against Man City but at the expense of playing at Maine Road. However it would ...

Re: No cup replays

I don't imagine many wanted to go out of the FA Cup at Aveley either, especially as we'd been 0-2 up. I imagine Aveley were delighted to have come back to equalise, it would have all been for nothing had they then gone out on penalties. We had a far better chance of progress in a replay home to Ave...

Re: No cup replays

Not really because of extra time and pens. The longer the game goes on, the lower ranked team will inevitably tire and the extra quality of the higher ranked team will usually show through. Say you're Marine a couple of years ago hosting Spurs and you're drawing at the end of normal time and instea...
