Wrexham and Notts promoted from the NL last season are more than holding their own in EFL L2.

The NL is stronger then many people think. Arguably stronger than L2!

Was at their only previous home victory this season, 3-2 vs Chester.

However Chester’s bus had a blow-out on the M62 and the team arrived late. Darlo’s opener was a freak goal and they narrowly survived s late onslaught.

So on past form we shouldn’t lose, but as others have said it would be typical of us to give them their second home win.

Smith gone back to Hearts, Whitehall, Butterfield and Law still out.

0-0?

BTW In 53 years of watching the Iron at Darlington I have never seen us win there (Feethams or the Reynolds Arena). Could this be my hat-trick of grounds?

Very much “of the time”. Bought Parallel Lines back in the day.

Find their/her recent performances quite embarrassing however.

Probably need to get rid of those Fujitsu computers!

My last payment (20.12.23) had FC Motherwell on it!

Interesting!

So can we look forward to some nights in white satin?

Walsall put the Hollywood Goats to the sword in their previous game, so it’s hardly the end of the world!

“Would you want your 8 / 9 year old son travelling for up to 2 hours to a game where they may only actually play for 30 minutes?
Then, a 2 hour return trip.”

Pretty much did that for my lad 25 years ago.

90 minutes journey from here to Berwick when he played in the Colts League.

“As parents, you’ll waste a small fortune ferrying little Johnny here, there and everywhere.

The odds on your lad being a Beckham are probably 0.000001% (1 in a million)
Of being a Messi or Ronaldo probably 0.0000001%”

So what!

Perhaps they enjoy it and get something out of it apart from money. You know, like physical fitness, friendships and performing as part of a team.

Not everyone who joins a band sells a million records. Not everyone who treads the boards ends up as the next Ken Brannagh.

Not all about chasing the filthy lucre.

Apart from that incident involving di Canio when did you last see a British official struck?

Bit of a difference yelling FFS Ref! and decking him with a right hook!

Top of the League (still) thanks to an ex-Iron notching for Chester yesterday!

Are you sure that wasn’t a Tom & Jerry cartoon I-A?

[Northumbiron]

Had that a couple of times. Eventually returned to normal after shutting down the app and logging in again.

May take a few tries.

I thought we had a management “team”?

Up to 39 different birds in the garden BPG, and 3 seen over it including Red Kite who now breed in the Derwent Valley and make the occasional forays North and West.

Also get a lot of Tree Sparrows but relatively few House Sparrows. Got a regular Great Spotted Woodpecker that fairly hammers the peanuts!

[Northumbiron]

+6 Celsius, 46% chance of rain, light winds from the East.

Should be on.

We’re not quite in the Arctic Circle up here!

Reckon our garden must have a 5* rating on avian trip advisor.

Brambling a regular visitor at the moment.
