« on: November 29, 2012, 07:44:46 PM »

Everyone, Not here to gloat but just to say a big thanks to ALL your supporters, staff and commitee who made our journey on saturday so enjoyable
You may not have won the game but your hospitality won over every Skelmersdale supporter from our Chairman down.

And to those that made the journey on Tuesday only confirmed the clubs feelings towards you and your club.

from our Forum
 
Must add a massive thank you to the supporters and officials from Boston,over the two games they we're fantastic and on Tuesday facing that long journey home after a defeat.
You all did your club and yourselves proud. Very gracious in defeat.
Thank you and hopefully very soon we will meet twice a season

keep up to date with the "Weekly pitch update at Skem with the above link. Its been raining all day saturday and sunday and with more to come Better keep and eye on it. Although the ground staff are top class and if there is any chance they will def get it on.

Lots of parking around ground, beware there are lots of large lorries up and down Statham Rd, better parking up Selby Place, where the ground is situated.

Sorry forgot to add

Pleas bring your wellies and brollies, although we have some cover, it is not very substantial.

And dont forget to wrap up warm and put on your thermals....it gets cold in this part of the world

Oh and you can smoke on the terraces  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The B-Ark / Travelling to Skem

Morning all, bad head

Just to help any travelling up

FROM M6

At junction 26, take the M58 exit to Skelmersdale/​Liverpool/​Southport

At the roundabout, take the 1st exit onto M58

At junction 4, take the A5068 exit to Skelmersdale

At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto Glenburn Rd/​A5068
Go through 1 roundabout

At the roundabout, take the 1st exit onto Neverstitch Rd/​A577

At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto Staveley Rd

At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto Statham Rd

Turn left onto Selby Pl
Destination will be on the left


Skelmersdale WN8 8EF, UK

Go directly to the ground, the nearest pub (Busy Bee) is a good 5 minutes walk, the Club house serves very decent beer and is very reasonably priced. Im sure you will be given a warm reception.
Food in the Canteen has very good pies and burgers as well as hot drinks...If you are after something a little more substantial then I suggest a Mway services, there are a few good chippies around but are quite a way from the ground. (Im sure if your desperate one of the locals will show you the way) The town is notorious for roundabouts and it easy to get lost...Im not kidding.

We are on an industrial estate and are quite a way from the few ammenities that the town offers- in their wisdom when they built the new town the planners somehow forgot that people need something to do. They removed the railway station and the bus services are appaling thus
any travel by public transport is NOT recommended, anyone wishing to brave the travel.. the train from Manchester going to Wigan, stay on the train to Parbold (5 miles away), when leaving Wigan phone a local taxi firm 01695 50005 and ask for a taxi to Parbold station for 15 minutes...It should be there when you arrive. Costs about £6
(If you embark at Wigan there is an hours bus ride and a 10 minute walk from the nearest stop)

Traveling back will be a nightmare, unsure what time last train is, and if the game goes to ET and pens your basically in the deep !!!!


It took us just over 3 hours on the coach, without a stop on the way back

It would have been easier if we could have played next saturday. I dont think any of our fans would relish that journey mid week.

Hope you enjoy your trip up and that you go home disapointed !!!!!


I think the result could depend on who we are paired with in the next round. I dont think we would fancy a trip to deepest South Coast

See you there

Has the manager merry go round so prevelant in the Premiershit now hit BSN

You lose a few then want to sack your manager, lets get real folks.  Only one team can win, (unless you draw)
Changinga manager after a few ddgy results aint goonna bring success, The most succesful side in world football has had the same manager for 27 years (?)

THought you played well today, remember you were up against a side who had only lost once this season and from your supporters Skem would do extremely well in your division.

Give the guy a break and get behind him, that is the only way forward....that is after tuesday!!!!

Good result for us, thought we did enough to edge it, and glad that the good true supporters stayed behind to applaud the boys off.


Good day out was enjoyed by everyone, hope we made a noise and that created an atmosphere and look forward to seeing you all on tuesday


Carl in the club has promised to give £50 to Charity if I have my hair shaved off.....you will be paying up Carl  see u tues

From a Skem point of view

I think you will score and probably first

but Skem will also score

see the game ending up a 2-2 draw

attendance   907

fair away following, few more locals on the gate

Lets hope its a good one

Just a quick help from you

What time does your clubhouse open ?
Expect to be down there around 1pm. Any pubs near to the ground that you could recomend if the clubhouse is not open.
We have already sold out a 50 seater coach and half a coach with the players, some are expected to travel by car, so we should have a good following.

Is the ground segregated ?  where do the away supporters stand ?  and do you have over officious stewards.

We are hoping for a good day out regardless of the result, we are a friendly bunch but very passionate

 you are obviously firm favourites but you never know !

Look forward to meeting you all for a good crack

PS I will be the one wearing the flat cap.

Hi Guys

Skem supporter comes in peace.  IT is Skelmersdale United and not Skelmsdale

Dont know how many Colwyn Bay brought but would expect over 100 making the journey from "hobnale boots mining side from lancs"

Think you might be suprised at the team, not cloggers. You should be favourites but we have beaten you before and at the moment fear no one.

Dont count your chickens. Barrow did a few years ago and very nearly came unstuck.

We could have met earlier in the season...We were somewhat comprehensivly beaten by Tadcaster in FA Cup....dont ask !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


See you there and make sure there are plenty of pies and even more beer..
We are a very friendly lot

Up the BLUES
