    Check you are still able to access the game – you may need a VPN.

    @ home in 2025: scored 30, conceded 9 in 12 games.

    3-1 could be on the cards again?

    May 18th 1804 saw Napoleon Bonaparte declared Emperor of France.

    Tomorrow, is it possible that a Butler could rise to the dizzy height of Emperor of Glanford Park?

    Lost 0-1 away today in the Alicante derby.
    It’s looking as if we will probably finish 10th of 20.
    Consolidation following last seasons promotion.
    Job done.

    I could Internet Search it but then you wouldn’t know that I’ve not seen it or heard the result.
    What was the score?
    Cheers.

    Would no Roberts & no Whitehall = no chance?

    None, one or both could potentially be missing.

    Yeah… they stumped us.
    Hopefully Chester don’t seal that 2nd promotion place.

    They have an U19 team which would enable them to play an in house game.
    Could play 11 v 10 or 11 v 9 if it’s too easy or swop centre halves or even forward pairings etc… lots of possibilities to work with.

    Do we have enough fit players to have an in house 11 v 11?

    Withdrawals & supplements seem to be the order of the day.
    A number of clubs have made the running but then veer wide at the inconsistency turn and drop back.
    We will very quickly be entering the final furlong; hopefully we’ve not peaked too early and have the stamina to win this grand national (north).
    The old girl is going well under the young trainer Stan Butler.
    On The Buses? – Is it too early to book the bus for Stan’s victory tour?

    Scunthorpe 13/8
    Brackley Town 9/4
    Chester 4/1

    Curzon Ashton 10/1
    Kidderminster 12/1

    Chorley 20/1

    And so, it did indeed prove to be a 3 horse race.
    With only two pens in the stable, which horse will be left out in the cold?

    Judgement Day approaches.

    Let’s hope Chester aren’t made of liquid metal, we may need Arnie if they are.

    Hopefully – “we’ll be back!”

    Roberts or Robertsless – whichever.
    I’m going to go with:
    Iron 2-1 Seals.

    During the off season boredom I have an idea for threads in the vein of this one if it cures the nostalgia and people are interested.

    Like a “could have been an Iron legend if he’d stayed”.

    Matt Godden.

    Fired Charlton into the L1 playoff final last night.

    Good lad. It all worked out well for him. What is he now… about 34 years of age?

    Good guess – 34 on 29th July

    Well done lad!

    Come 18:00hrs on Sun 18th May 2025 – will it be an epitaph, a prologue or an end of season developmental review?

    So it’s not going to extra time and penalties then?

    I think it’ll either be 2-1 or 2-0 to us at the 90.

    1 member = 1 vote
    1 STH = 1 POF ticket?

    It’s discriminatory allowing a ST holder to be able to preferentially purchase 4 tickets.

    Very poor imho.

    Some are experiencing a longer wait than others.
    Went back as far as Gateshead as that’s probably as far back as anyone on here can remember or have seen play in the league?
    I’ve missed out those who’ve dropped out in the last few seasons like ourselves. And a couple or four who only had a very brief spell in the EFL.

    Last league season:
    Aldershot Town 2012/13
    Barnet 2017/18
    Boston 2006/07
    Bradford Park Avenue 1969/70
    Bury 2018/19
    Chester 2008/09
    Dag & Red 2015/16
    Darlington 2009/10
    Gateshead 1959/60
    Halifax 2001/02
    Hereford 2011/12
    Kidderminster 2004/05
    Macclesfield 2019/20
    Rushden 2005/06
    Scarborough 1998/98
    Southport 1977/78
    Torquay 2013/14
    Workington 1976/77
    Yeovil 2018/19
    York 2015/16

    Pleased for them, they’ve had a chequered past.
    Do they own the ground now?
    If memory serves, they were in serious financial difficulties about five years ago.
    I see their average attendance this season was 723 – 1.6% of the towns population.
    I believe that they’ve always had problems getting people to ‘back’ their home town? Sheff U / W, Rotherham, Donny and Mansfield all within 30 minutes.
