it appears as though Farsley Celtic have folded tonight, unconfirmed reports say players were turned away from training tonight

I think I'm making my season's debut in two weeks for the home game versus Guiseley, a place where I won the Champion Soccer 6's League Cup tonight.

Sad news regarding Farsley, not surprising though considering how empty the stands were when we visited them in the BSP, throw in that they only made 150 programs when we took 400 and you can understand how they have ended up in difficulties.

Salisbury have made a very savvy move by going into administration this morning. Should clear a lot of their debts by the time the next transfer window opens, very clever. Puts them 2nd bottom on 0 points with Chester still on -23

Biggest kick in the nads has been not receiving the money for the part of the ground that they'd sold off. Very sad news though.

Not forgetting not paying the tax man.

how much do these guys get paid to be owing the HMRC the sort of money farsley did.

According to this [url=http://www.takeforum.com/farsleyceltic/viewtopic.php?t=1459&mforum=farsleycelticthis[/url they've been saved.

Said the same when Fisher went under with similar tax owing in the Summer. In truth the BS North and South has probably been a bad thing for most clubs and the only real beneficiaries have been the players getting inflated wages as most clubs promoted from the Unibond, Southern and Ryman Leagues do not see a massive rise in gates and most teams relegated into it really struggle to survive (and in some cases do not even manage that), Last seasons BS North winners Tamworth being the one example of a team coming back that springs to mind. There is no guarantee that teams like Farsley would have survived better being dropped back into the old Unibond set up if the BS North and South did not exist but it does make you wonder as most of the teams that have really struggled recently have been in the leagues governed by the Conference than those in the two steps below covered by the "traditional" regional leagues.

Bootle looking to keep unbeaten run going today against Flixton at Bucks Park. Not conceded in league this season and currently lie in third.

UP THE BUCKS!!

Good 2-0 win today for City against a poor Crawley team who wouldn't of scored if they stayed there all night. Big talking point of the day though has to be the abandonment at the Gateshead - Hayes game due to injury, Hope the lads ok

Saw Tamworth draw 2-2 with AFC Wimbledon this afternoon, shame the Lambs capitulated after half time but they are still competing well with the bigger sides in the league and looking like a top half finish should be the least of their ambitions.

4-2 win for Leigh at Ossett Albion, got to be happy with that.

Bootle looking to maintain unbeaten record tonight at home to Runcorn. Been looking forward to this one, out keeper Mark Mawdsley up for his biggest test tonight. Hopefully they will bring a few to Delta Taxi Stadium and should be cracking game.

UP THE BUCKS!!!

Didn't even realise we had a non league thread of its own till i started having a look at all the other forums.

If you havn't noticed im an FCUM fan

Saw Ilkeston get an easy 3-0 away win at Solihull Moors,

Derby manager Nigel Clough was there casting his eye over winger Sam Duncum who is as good a player as there is in the Conference North this season and looks destined for bigger things (which will not help The Robins hopes of a play off berth if they can not keep hold of him).

Scored a peach of a goal too which will have done his standing a bit of good.

FC Halifax Town won 1-0 against Wakefeild FC in the presidents cup tonight

8 games in all competitions now

won 7 and drawn 1 unbeaten so far.

beat lancaster on saturday.

hopefully we can start moving back to wear we belong.

Would be good to see your lot back, went over for the friendly in the summer where you did us 3-1 i think it was. Good away day at Fax

thats cause we have a stadium unlike most teams in our league.

and a fan base over 1500 most weeks.

who do you support?

The Fleetwood Town FC juggernaught continues on. 2-0 win away at those ruffians Farsley Celtic, proves that skill will always prevail against teams with no skill who just try and kick lumps out of you.

And how about our 2 new signings. Klaus Jorgenson from Portvale, who was wanted by league 1 teams but decided to drop 3 divisions to the Blue Square North because he knows, we are THE team. Also, Gareth Sneddon who was offered a contract by EVERY bluesquare premiership team but opted, again, for Fleetwood in the blue square north. Probably because out kit is made by NIKE and they would rather play in NIKE than, I dunno, dunlop, or whoever it is that makes non league kits.

Add to the fact that work on our £3m east stand is about to start. Our stadium is just WOW. What must our players think when they have to play at places like Farsley, which arent much better than council pitches and communal changing rooms.

We are the kings of the Blue Square. I will be able to leave this thread in 2 years when we make it to the league proper, because at it stands, we have too much money for the blue square league.

can you come and play in our league then if you have a stadium.

we are 3 divisions below you. with a 12,000 stadium average attendance of 1500, which is the 5th largest in non league according to a couple of weeks ago what was mentioned.

the only teams with a sniff of a ground are Lancaster City.

Leigh Genesis have a good stadium but thats about it. the rest is like playing in a park with most of them.

we take more away fans to places than the home team has home fans.

we have players that have dropped down divisions to play for us.

your in a higher league imaging how us FC Halifax Town fans feel travelling to places like Mossley and Trafford every week.

Arent you the team that went bust? Do you even own your own stadium? Any noob can rent a nice stadium and then berate others. We actually own our stadium with no debts against it.

we did go bust yes.

loads of teams are going bust though.

we dont own it but do Hull FC own theres no.

yes we do rent it but we cant afford to own a stadium that big. we do pay to use it or so i beleive.

it was built for the football and was used for football for many years until the rugby joined us so now it does belong to the council but it was buolt for us so in effec it is our stadium.

there are a lot of non league clubs that own there own stadiums but that wouldnt be difficult with most of them.

i hope we can get out of this league this season we are too big for the league we are in.

we get 1,000 more fans than anyone else in the league.

we are 4 leagues below the Blue Square Premier and we still get bigger crowds than most of them and bigger crowds that most of the teams in higher leagues outside the non league bar 5 clubs.

i can bet that you wont be paying for the £3m developement all by yourself. so stop saying you have your own ground you may own it but the council is obvipusly helping out with the stadium by building a stand for you.

our stadium is just wow. i hope we meet in the F.A CUP at the shay so you can come and see what we have.

Err , the council is putting about £30k into it, the rest is comming from the pocket of our multi millionaire owner.

Your stadium is a crumbling, 100 year old one. Ours is brand new. The only things yours has over fleetwoods is that it has 15,000 capacity. However, that means it will be souless on match days with your 1k crowd.

can we borrow him please



only 1 stand is the west stand.

the east stand like yours is in the process of being completed so thats new. the north and the south stand are still very much in tact as well.

its actually getting close to 1600 fans per home game now and beleive me it isnt souless.

if you have multi million pound owner why are you still in Blue Square North or south which ever it is.

I don'understand it we are one of the biggest clubs outside the football league and we cant get a millionairre owner. can we borrow him for a couple of weeks.

good luck with your project and getting into the league hopefully we can join you in a few years and look forward to some meetings between the 2 sides.
