Just back in from Farsley v Oxford, think Celtic were unlucky not to get more out of the game.

Stop press I didn't make to Histon this afternoon after all.

I wasn't greatly impressed with Oxford when I saw them at Histon.

Another great victory by Bootle yesterday, 7-0 in the Vodkat League Cup though in truth against a very poor Daisy Hill side.

Andy Fowler bagged a hat trick and is flying this season. Really solid performance.

Finished 3-0 in the end. Might have to look at going in a couple of weeks

I gather Dave Garland's after the Sutton job.

My oh my, I struggled to find this thread again



Great win for RMI at Burscough in the FA Trophy this afternoon, very entertaining 3-2 win and we certainly played better without the pressures of the league.

I just hope that it's enough to kickstart our season, especially as next weekend is a tough game at Tamworth.

Not seen the King's Lynn result, yet I decided not to in favour of shopping !!

Why are Weymouth in our league? 6 bleedin' hours on one of the most uncomfortable buses I've ever had the displeasure of. They should be in the French leagues...

Surely no worse than the Exeter trip?

Just be glad you weren't in the Conference when we had Margate and Dover, along with Hayes and Kingstonian etc, in the league!

Ah, but Flybe fly from Leeds to Exeter so instead if six hours on an uncomfortable bus, it's just over an hour of being suspended at several thousand feet by a plane that feels like it's held together by chicken wire and PVA glue.

Bootles charge for promotion continues. Another away win last sat, 4-2 at Ashton. Andy Fowler is a Bootle legend already.

Great season this so far.

The wheels falling off at Bromley.

The Unibond have told both Curzon Ashton and FC United that their game at the Tameside Stadium on December the 29th is being moved to a dinnertime kick off to be broadcasted on Internet TV. Despite the fact that neither club wants it to happen. No FC board members or officials will be present at the match and they're calling for the fans to boycott it as well. This is one of the things we thought we'd left behind. www.fc-utd.co.uk/story.php?story_id=1366

Chorley finally win their 2nd league game of the season last night beating Woodley Sports 5-0.The only way is up from here

Fleetwood looking good in second place with 3 games in hand on leaders Witton in the unibond premier. The squad we have should win that league.

Couldn't get much worse for you.



I like Chorley. Cracking ground, fantastic clubhouse. Shame a few bellends decided to attach themselves to the club when we visited.

Anyway, decent win - our first ever win in an FA Trophy game - yesterday. I'm hoping for Blyth Spartans in the next round. Home or away - not d. Just give us the mighty Spartans.

The Setanta Shield has really captured the imagination of fans the nation over hasn't it eh? Eh? Oh.

I'm rather looking forward to Farsley v Halifax on Boxing Day. Farsley's visit to Droylsden in the Shield was postponed... yet another game to rearrange!!

I'm planning to make a visit to Hilton Park on Saturday for Leigh RMI v Stalybridge... or maybe even Southport v Barrow. I'll be in Wigan with nowt to do!

Droylsden at home for us. Whoop de doo

I reckon we'll win on Saturday, hopefully get something tomorrow at home to Workington then build on it with a win against Bridge. Plus, we'll need the extra body more than Southport - Barrow will!

1) There's been plenty of suggestions as to how we can do something to make sure Curzon don't miss out. A friendly or a collection, that sort of thing.

2) Curzon aren't short of a bob or two anyway.

3) We're not a charity. We're not there as a cash cow to be milked at every opportunity. We don't have a morale obligation to turn up and pump cash into every club we meet.

4) We were formed with the intention of trying to change football for the better, to show that fans can have say in the running of the game. To get away from the sh*t that prevails at the top of the pyramid. Changing the kick off time of a game purely for commercial gain is one of those things, if we just say "oh, never mind, we'll accept this and go about our business as usual" then there's no point in the club existing. We might as well have just gone watching Altrincham or someone.


I do appreciate that we could well be banging our heads against a brick wall here, but it's what we're here for.

That's totally irrelevant.


No, but actively discouraging people from attending a live game, whether it's just a handful or several hundred, is pathetic. If this had been an FCUM home game I wonder whether the club would have taken the same course of action?

What's more I bet the whole episode will just increase the numbers of people watching the game online because of the extra publicity.

How high in the football pyramid is FCUM aiming to progress? Because if you get as far as the Conference, never mind the Football League, your games are increasingly going to be subject to live televising at unconventional times. And the higher up the pyramid you go the harder it's going to be to fight against this issue.
