Re: No cup replays

I agree that Cup Finals should be decided on the day. I'm old enough to remember when there were F A Cup Final replays, they were played away from Wembley and they were anti-climatic. I also think the Wembley Final is devalued by the semis being played at Wembley. But that's not going to change. You...

Re: No cup replays

What annoys me most is the quote from the FA that it's been made "in light of changes to the calendar driven by the expanded EUFA competitions". What possible relevance does that have to rounds 1 & 2 of the FA Cup when the Prem clubs aren't even in the FA Cup? I can see no possible rel...

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

Personally I don’t care what team starts on Saturday. Rest and rotate whoever Dean feels fit, the game is dead. I know we can finish 3rd but the reality is we are in the top 3 for a reason- we are a better side than every team in this division bar chesterfield, and shouldn’t care who we face in the...

Re: Big games tonight

Gateshead’s’keeper gets a straight red. And they don’t have a keeper on the bench. Chasing around for a whole half with ten men trying to protect the outfield player in goal won’t be helping their fatigue issues! That is part of the reason why you should always have a keeper on the bench. I hope we...

Re: Play Offs Display

I didn't wish to come across as negative before and as stated before, I really hope it's a massive success. Thinking about it, we did get 3,733 for the P.O. match v Borehamwood last season which was a Tuesday night quarter final ( when we seemed less likely of overall success.) We should get a far b...

Re: Big games tonight

Apparently according to the Aldershot programme notes last Saturday, Aldershot have made an official complaint regarding Gateshead's statement / conduct.

Re: Play Offs Display

I'm not sure where the 800 people to hold a flag behind the goal are going to come from - or maybe 400 will each hold 2 flags? But it sounds like if it comes off it should look quite spectacular.

Re: Big games tonight

I seem to remember that whilst we looked likely to escape, there was a strange situation that if we and Bury had particular score lines, we'd finish level on points, goals for and goals against and there was talk of an outside chance of a play off deciding match at Walsall ( as in being between the ...

Re: Big games tonight

It's certainly true that all three of those opponents will be tough - an in-form Altrincham, Solihull with the best away record in the division, or a Gateshead side who seem to have our number, based on recent meetings. But I'd be intrigued to know who the management team would prefer to face, afte...

Re: Big games tonight

Would be nice for Oxford if they could get a result and guarantee us 2nd place finish. I'll be cheering for Eastleigh. But really it's just so good to be able to go into today and Saturday feeling relaxed.

Re: FC Halifax (Club Tropicana) The Milk Float Match Thread

Seems fair enough, given they are both school nights and the matches could go to extra time and penalties. Anyway as stated above, it doesn't affect us.

Re: LUKE GARRARD to leave wood

Someone could very well go down with 53 points, which I imagine would be tough to take! A bit like when we somehow went down from League 2 with 51 points, despite there only being 2 relegation places. In NLN the 4th / final relegation place is between 3 teams, all with 1 match left to play, 2 curre...

Re: FC Halifax (Club Tropicana) The Milk Float Match Thread

Listened to the Halifax manager's post match interview. Loved how he blamed their slow start ( and so conceding 2 goals ) on the Accrington hospitality. If we get them in the P.O. semi we'll have to go to town with the Welcoming Mat!
