FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round v Sholing

Thanks for your updates Soton Gull ..... even from a soggy smartphone. Yes - a bright moment going into the First Round draw proper amidst the doom, gloom and chaos across the world. My 'take' on yesterday's game was that it was a thoroughly professional effort and full marks to Gary Johnson for not...

FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round

I shoulld add that no-one was allowed in at Sandy Park yesterday to watch the Chiefs' excellent win against Racing ..... Er ..... or it could be something to do with the fact that the Final was played in Bristol ...... Don't worry Budegull - I am also Cornish so know what it's like to be slow on th...

Macclesfield Town have been wound up - owe more than £500,000.

I take your point - but there is always more than meets the eye when the judiciary will not give a stay of execution. There's a long running complex history behind all of Macclesfield's woes. If you have time you can read most of It in the linked article below: https://twohundredpercent.net/alkadhi...

Fixtures 2020/21

Just been having a close look through the 20/21 Fixture List. Gawd - this is a punishing schedule. First match October 3rd. By October 3rd last season, we had played 14 games! Almost a third way through the season. Although the season has been extended from the end of April until the end of May, the...

2020-21 Season Start

I always think it is going to be a good season for us. I have rarely been proved right in 58 years! ;-) Ha! - yes Stefano. But you must know that to qualify as a true fan of TUFC you have to be an eternal optimist. Let's hope this coming season, whatever it brings, will be one of rare seasons when ...

2020-21 Season Start

See we are 12th favourites at 20/1 with Betway for the title. Notts County 9/2 favourites followed by Stockport, Yeovil, Hartlepool and rather surprisingly Dagenham unless they have made some big signings ? Struggled last season as did Wrexham and Chesterfield who are next on the list just because ...

Connor

In fairness to Buse, Matt Hockley was a similar player and did all the dirty work allowing Alex Russell and Jason Fowler to demonstrate their skills. Yes - I agree, although Matt Buse is no Matt Hockley yet! Let's not forget that last season was his first season as a full-time pro. He works hard an...

Alan Welsh RIP

Very sad to learn that Alan Welsh had died. For those of us on here with grey hair, or none, and weak bladders, Alan Welsh was a great favourite in those heady days of Frank O'Farrell's teams in the sixties as we crammed into the old Cow Shed and made the place rock. Alan was a very good player and ...

Season Tickets on Sale 4th August

It does not matter one jot whether the club could or could not afford to refund season ticket money, the club were duty bound to offer a refund, every season ticket holder entered into a contract with the club to attend 23 home match's at an agreed price, the fact that no season ticket holder appea...

Apologies SNW, but the well known sneak, sly Remoaner, serial loser, COVidiot and forum moron known as Plainmoor78 has now infected your football thread with an agent more lethal than common COLD-!9.

Notts County play Harrogate in the Final next Sunday. County beat Barnet 2-0 today and Harrogate beat Boreham Wood 1-0 ....... and in the North and South play off finals, it is Boston v Altrincham and Weymouth v Dartford. It will be great if Weymouth win. That will be almost another local derby, al...

National League Play-Offs .......

Thanks everyone, especially DWB. I now understand ..... I think! Sooo ...... the less games you've played, the more likely you were to get in the Play Offs. Just think - if Boreham Wood get to Wembley, their 300+ fans would have no trouble social distancing ! Come on Harrogate !!!!

National League Play-Offs .......

Can someone with a degree in Football Logic explain the Play Off arrangements for our league? I see that yesterday Barnet, who finished ELEVENTH when the season ended, beat Yeovil. And Boring Wood beat Halifax a few days ago. Are these games played on a home and away basis, or is that it for Halifax...

MOTM - Chorley

Although up against a powder puff attack (the reason why Chorley are bottom of the league), our back four must take the plaudits today - Rob Cundy - not because of his goal, but because of his commanding presence in the centre of defence Joe Lewis - another solid game from a very promising player Ja...
