It’s EIGHT games since we last scored in the first half of a league game.

Patience is a virtue.

Record Highest NLN Attendance
7,488 (play off final)
21 May 2022
York City v Boston United

Let’s mark our short stay in the NLN by setting a new highest attendance record.

Sat 13th April – we MUST sell every seat as it’s our last home game of the season and we can celebrate winning the league in front of a capacity New Show Ground.

Other potential games (to tie in with pay days) could be:

Sat 3rd Feb v Rushall Olympic
Sat 2nd March v Chester FC

Let’s celebrate the rebirth of Christ and our Club:

Fri 29th March (Good Friday) v Kings Lynn Town

Plenty of opportunities to leave our mark on the league.

Get the marketing heads on and let’s celebrate!

Nb
9-0 is the largest margin of victory in this league.

Highest Home Win
Chorley 9-0 Gloucester City
4th September 2021

Highest Away Win
Redditch United 0–9 Boston United
21st August 2010

We can do a decadance (sic) of joy if we thrash someone 10-0

Are you up for the challenge Jimbob and your merry men?

An Iron for life – Life is Iron!

Pack the park – let’s smash it!

Iron 10–0 Chester

As we know – the attendance record for a National League North LEAGUE game is currently 6,311 and will be smashed on Saturday 2nd March 2024.

UTI.

6,311 and counting!

[Rene Artois]

Looks as if it’ll be smashed.
About 250 tickets remain in the east stand.
Less than 50 available in west stand.

If the ground capacity is 9,088 – then it looks as if it’ll be 8k plus tomorrow?

[Rene Artois]

Best wishes mate.

You can navigate the canals and rivers from Chester to Gunness.

Hopefully the seals that make the journey will play more like those at Skeggy’s seal sanctuary than the US Navy Seals.

With a 1,000 Pinnipeds making the ‘swim’ it’ll be a great atmosphere.

Blyth Spartans have taken only 2 points from the last 7 games and shouldn’t trouble Tamworth at the Lamb ground.

Chorley should see Rushall off.

Iron 1-1 Seals

Hoping for a 2-1 to us.

[Rene Artois]

Football is in a sad state in the UK.
The disparity will kill the game at the lower levels.

[Rene Artois]

5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Goat Burgers are Go!

[Rene Artois]

Once again, 1-1 is the shortest priced correct score-cast with the bookies at 5/1

1-1… 5/1
1-0… 6/1
2-1… 7/1
2-0… 15/2
0-0… 10/1

0-1… 11/1

Iron… 7/10
Draw… 26/10
Seals… 32/10

Bookies reckon a home win.

I’m going to go with the 1-1
They’ve drawn 7 of their 18 away games, scoring 17 goals and conceding the same.

[Rene Artois]

They are away at Warrington on Saturday.
So that should be 11 defeats on the spin.
Then, they host us.

[Rene Artois]

Owls 1-2 Iron

Beestin brace.

Att: 561

The Bishop’s of Stortford have lost 9 games on the bounce. They’ve scored 8 times in those games but conceded 26 times.

They face Spennymoor at home tonight.
Will it be ten defeats on the trot?

BS 0-1 Spennymoor

Lost ten on the bounce.

[Rene Artois]

Nah!
Steve Smith (age 66) is as safe as houses.
He’s also a director and has a 70% shareholding in the club.

5,500 home fans plus 1,000 Chester fans required then.

We’ve only topped 5,000 twice this season:

5,063 v Brackley
5.227 v Tamworth

We’ve struggled to tip 3,500 in the last 3 games.

Predicted Att: 4,671

[Rene Artois]

10 games since they last tasted defeat.

5 draws and 4 wins since.

The highest scoring team against the team with the second lowest number of goals conceded.

It looks as if it’s going to be another tight one?
