When our local Rugby Union club, Tynedale were in National League 1 they had to travel to Jersey. A round trip of over 1,000 miles!
But yes, safe journey to those who are travelling.

If it is York and Rochdale that go up then Carlisle with their 10,000 gates and huge catchment area will stay down.
Or
Boreham Wood with their sub 1,000 gates could win the playoffs.
Funny old game!

What’s Lee Turnbull doing these days?

Not Boycie’s fault. Injuries mean Butler has no option other than to play him.

Hurst is here on loan and should probably return to Donny.
Squad looking unbalanced once again. How often have we said that?

Ah, the old “can you afford to drop your leading scorer” conundrum!

My Chester mate has just messaged me re: Jones.
Said definitely their best player this season and no way they would have kept him.
Bit of a bolt out of the blue (no pun intended).

Also AB makes a valid point about Howe taking points off other teams.
Aye, we don’t want Truro leapfrogging us!

I was at every game in that cup run.
Remember being behind the goal, but as many grounds were unsegregated in those days I don’t recall anything unusual.
Both sets of fans would have been sporting red and white scarves, so I guess most were none the wiser.
I think we were in all blue that day.

Ah! A manager’s contract.
Worth the paper it’s written on?

As Bhuna says, third spot is still achievable so this in itself should be enough motivation.
I don’t think the comings and goings on the squad front has done us any favours. Are EFL loanees coming into a “safe” club under pressure to shine or merely here to give them game time? Then we have players who were part of the rip-roaring start to the season out at other clubs.
I was talking with my mate who is a Chester supporter. Let’s face it, that NLN Playoff Final could just have easily gone their way. It didn’t of course and instead of pushing on again this season they’ve been a very average mid-table side. Manager Callum McIntyre was told mid season that his contract wouldn’t be renewed in the summer. What motivation is there for both team and manager now?
So Butler must remember it’s not just about raising standards, it’s also about maintaining them.
Re: late substitutions.
“Generally30 seconds is added to stoppage time for each individual substitution made during a football match, according to BBC Sport and RefChat. If multiple substitutions occur during the same stoppage, it is counted as one opportunity, although the referee may add extra time if the process takes longer, notes TheFA.com.
Standard Rule: 30 seconds per substitution.
Contextual Time: If a player takes too long to leave the pitch, the referee can add more time.
Multiple Substitutions: Multiple substitutions by a team during the same stoppage count as one, but the referee will account for the total time lost.”
So basically, the more substitutions you make the more time you give the opposition to score.
Conversely it gives you more time to score too. But if you’re taking off your forwards and replacing them with defenders that would seem less likely”

What Andrew needs to concentrate on is coaching his players to pass to a teammate instead of blind flick-ons and hopeful punts upfield.
Really wasteful again last night.

Worse than their 9?
Stones gave him a lesson in both goal scoring and shithousery.
