Well done to the all at SUFC.

Chester didn’t look great in it first half but very different second half.
Daft penalty by Evans to concede but he was immense today bar that.

What was the attendance btw?

UTI

I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find the attendance. It’s not even on the OWS!

The attendance will be announced today.
Both clubs will have to send their match reports to the NL who will then archive the fixture and ratify the information.

It’s because it’s a fixture ‘hosted’ by the NL (even though it was played at GP) and not one of the two clubs involved.

Well done Danny Whitehall.
Dan & Carlton will do us proud next season.
With 2 goal scorers – you’ve always a chance.
CR10 has being prolific from his position this season.
A couple or 3 quality additions to the squad and we will be challenging next season.
Bin Beck.

[Rene Artois]

Overall, RH did us proud this season.
Well done Ollie & Torps!

[Rene Artois]

Thankfully he listened and abandoned his mumpsimus formation.
Steep learning curve.
Got there in the end.
Stan’s the man for next season!

[Rene Artois]

Get Gone

Gone and got us out of that awful league. Well done Stan.

Fortress GP gives us the edge.

Iron 1-1 Seals without Roberts. Goes to pens.

Ok, so it didn’t go to pens.

[Rene Artois]

STANd & delivered!

[Rene Artois]

Bravo! Congratulations Stan!

[Rene Artois]

For reference purposes:

6 wins, 2 draws since their defeat to us.
Scored 15, conceded 7 in those 8 games.

They are on a roll.

We’ve won 5, lost 2 since defeating them. Scoring 14, conceding 4.

Fortress GP gives us the edge.

Iron 2-1 Seals if Whitehall & Roberts start.

Iron 1-1 Seals without Roberts. Goes to pens.

Iron 0-2 Seals without CR10 & Dan.

[Rene Artois]

Or a ‘dodgy stick’?

[Rene Artois]

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

[Rene Artois]

Thought we’d already ‘moaned’ about that… lol.

[Rene Artois]

Danny Whitehall after bagging the winning brace later today.

[Rene Artois]

Parked a couple of buses?

[Rene Artois]

@ 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?

[Rene Artois]

How I see Whitehall

As tomorrow’s match winner; hopefully!

[Rene Artois]

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.

[Rene Artois]

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.

[Rene Artois]

Would no Roberts & no Whitehall = no chance?

None, one or both could potentially be missing.

[Rene Artois]

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

[Rene Artois]

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!”

[Rene Artois]

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

[Rene Artois]

The 2 week layoff is a worry for me.

[Rene Artois]

4-4-2
DW & Carlton up top.

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!

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.
