I'm hoping that we will shortly discover that southport are shit hot and that we might still be a playoff team....

Good player but don't think there's room for Burrow and Denton (or another target man) in the same team. Given a run in the team to build a partnership together Wright and Burrow should do well together. With Scott Pollock we've also got someone who can add goals from centre midfield, reminds me a bit of Simon Weatherstone.A weatherstone or two would be a real bonus.
Chesterfield at home, Friday July 29.
Start with, say, 32 balls of the most northerly clubs, then when you get down to 8, throw in the next 24 and so on.
That's simply not true.
Promotion, please.
The conference North is a pain in the ass when living practically on the beach on the south coast (now in tier 4).
Pleased with draw as I am sure Chesterfield aren't really interested in this competition and will field a weak side against us. I have always said that ANY step 1-2 (or even 3-4) side that wants to take this competition seriously has a really good chance of making the latter stages of this once great tourney. It is up to our club management to select whatever side they deem appropriate to field in non-National League (North) games but, if we too decide to field fringe players, then our chances of progressing and obtaining more prize money will be diminished!
not sure whether I would prefer the club to go for a another try to get to Wembley or to win the League! though both would be nice.
You would assume they have at least monthly board meetings... so maybe within a couple of weeks/months/years, we'll find out.
It will depend on whether the decision is contested. By way of example, when I was doing the club secretary bit a few years back I had a call from the away team secretary to say they couldn't make the game as they only had 9 available players the rest being stuck on a motorway somewhere and couldn't get there. We were told that they would concede the three points. I was pissed off as we had all done a lot of work for the game, but OK, we'd accept that they couldn't turn up on that basis.
Months later, it after the league had launched an enquiry, they put in statements just lying about it. None of their players had actually turned up and we were ready to go. Yet they eventually ended up with the points without our having a chance to even see their statements.
F you shoreham Town.
I was secretary of a Boston Sunday league club in the early 70's. I contacted the secretary of the another league club, to see if the match was still on due to heavy snow. I was assured it was. After much effort we made it to the village ground. It was obvious due to virgin snow no one had even been there to prepare the pitch. We waited 15 minutes then left. I was surprised to find out, their secretary had contacted the league to say we were non arrivals. It was our word against theirs. I demanded to see referees report, but the club would have to pay £3 to appeal. So we decided to forfeit the game and was fined £1 for our troubles. The village team won the league that year by a lot more points than they would have got off us.
Lost there inform striker, gone to Chesterfield along with their manager.That's it though. He's not allowed to sign a ny more from them under the terms of his new contract.

Can anyone explain to me how Gloucester ended up in National League NORTH when they are geographically situated in the SOUTH?
It's historically down to the isthmian league having one of the three promoted sides getting promoted for years yet not being as strong as the southern league or Northern Premier.
If you are old enough to remember, sides used to volunteer to get relegated to the isthmian as it was easiest to win - Yeovil being the obvious example.
Then they had two thirds of the clubs going into conference south when it was invented despite the same relative weakness. It will take years to work that out of the system - just as it will take years and has taken years to get the Northern league (which was step 4standard when it joined the pyramid at step 5) to level off. Look how often there has been a northern league team in the vase final. There ought to be an average of one every 6 or 7 years but in reality it seems two every three years.
