No I only do Yorkshire away games.



It'll be off this Saturday anyway.

Don't say that. I'll have to be halfway to Nottingham before the text is likely to come through!

Sorry I appear to be de-railing this again so this is my final comment for now [size=75until I get wound up again :wink[/size:
No I do not know him personally and have no wish to, here are my personal views on the bloke.
When he was at Utd he always spoke $hite now he is at FCUM nothing has changed. I never once saw him at a home or away game although he always put himself across as the saviour of the club and such a loyal fan.
He set himself up in a nicely paid job, he walked away from United but still claims he loves the Club.... there are more but I wont bore everyone.
Finally. I fully understand the term relative.You can still not deny that attendance was shocking for a club of such stature and loyal fans


Wait till you are still in that league again next year.

Back to topic now.

It was a cup game. Anyway like you say, back on topic.





You mean you wouldn't fancy a midweek trip to Eastwood later in the season?

I've known Andy Walsh for years. He had a season ticket in the Scoreboard End. Saw him at quite a few aways as well. As for speaking $hite, he spoke up for United fans and did what he thought was right for the match-going supporter. He's probably one of the shyest people you'll meet, he's just passionate about football/United and believes the supporters should be the most important consideration in any football club. Hardly a bad thing, really. And, just to prove a point, I've met lads at Salford who've gone home and away with United for years. But I've never, ever seen them at a match. And I went to one or two.



And it was a cup game, not a league game, the attendance wasn't shocking, it was fully expected. We played about 8 non-first team regulars for f*ck's sake. It's not a competition that's taken seriously, like the Carling Cup. It's pointless basing arguments on it.

And we will be in the same league next year, so what? We were never going to keep going up and up, everyone knows that. I think you'll find that what happens on the pitch is secondary to those fully involved with FCUM - the main objective is being a community club that encourages people from all ages, both genders and all backgrounds involved in football, whether through playing or watching. A club that can do some good in the Greater Manchester area - something that's serverly lacking at M16 when those in charge only care about the money coming in, nothing else.

People who follow FC still love United. You can't let go, you just can't. It still kills me that I don't go anymore, that I don't travel the length and breadth of the country as I used to. I miss United, I miss the away trips, I miss the friends that still go that I don't see as much anymore. But it's about more than just watching another club. I said I'd never go again whilst the Glazers were in charge - whether FC existed or not - I stuck to that. If FC didn't exist I'd just spend my Saturdays watching United in the boozer. As it is, with kick off times hardly being 3pm on a Saturday, I now do both. If Glazer hadn't taken over and prices had gone up as they have, I'd only be watching United in the pub. I wouldn't be able to go anymore.

Nobody on any one side of the argument is better than the other. Someone who's kept their ST at United isn't a better United fan than someone who's chosen to give it up or someone who's been forced to give it up. And vice-versa. And the sooner people on both sides of the fence (and trust me, I know there's plenty of loudmouthed, opinionated d*ckheads who watch FC) realise that, the better.

Anyway, I'm done on the subject, too, now I've got that off my chest (isn't cider wonderful?!) so I'll stick to the non-league football from now on in!






Well, when you put it that way mate, it's very appealing indeed!!!



Yeah, back on topic.

Bloody hell what happened about back on topic.
Supping $hite Norwegian beer and wine at six quid a glass.
I am dying for a pint of cider



Back to Local Non league and showing my total ignorance here, but if Salford do get relegated which league would they drop into and are FCUM in it. I lost track of the different leagues when it was all re-organised

Salford are Unibond Division 1 (one step above NW Counties Premier), FCUM are in Unibond Premier (one step below Conference North). [size=75I think.[/size

Salford are one division below F.C. United at present. If they get relegated they will return, as Iain says, to the NWCFL (North West Counties Football League) Premier Division) which is two divisions below.

Sorry, that's the last time I come on here after drinking, I promise!

Salford City's away clash at Harrogate Railway Athletic was postponed due to a frozen pitch so I decided to take in the Manchester Premier League game between Prestwich Heys and Royton Town. A cracking game which finished 3-3 in front of a decent crowd. Can't complain about value for money for just two quid admission with a complimentary 24 page match
programme.

Salford's next game is at Moor Lane this coming tuesday in the Presidents Cup against Skelmersdale United k.o. 7:45 pm.

FC lost 4-2 away from home at Eastwood yesterday. Can't complain, we were beaten by a better team with a higher wage bill thanks to a Chairman who's gone in and run roughshed over the club to turn it into his own little plaything.

Shame about the -stirring and outright lies he's posted on their forum, mind. There was one instance were 5 of our lot didn't exactly act like angels, but you'd think we'd gone around sacraficing children listening to him.

Our game at Ashton United was frozen off yesterday (that's no three weeks without a game) so went to Droylsden-Harrogate Town instead, which went ahead despite a patch of ice stretching the entire width of the pitch from the goal line to the edge of the six yard box at one end.

Attempt number 7 for our Lancs Cup with Atherton Colls at Radcliffe on Wednesday night.

It'll be off.



We left the Woodley game before the end as well btw ginger one, as well as the Droylsden game yesterday. Getting a bit cold for me these days, though I wouldn't mind watching my own team for a change

Two of us f*cked off early on Saturday, too, after we were promised a train/bus back to Chesterfield at half five. It didn't exist and we missed an utter screamer from Roca.





Ashton United at home on Wednesday and North Ferriby away on Saturday. Oh they joys!

Dare say I'll go to the Ashton game on Wednesday (presuming, of course, that our game with Atherton will be off, as per), while we haven't got a game scheduled for Saturday anyroad. Can't wait for our fixture backlog at the end of the season

You'll need four teams.

Steady on, we can hardly afford one!

Salford City v Skelmersdale United - Presidents Cup Tuesday 9th December has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.



Next game v Garforth Town at Moor Lane on Saturday 13th December in the Unibond North League.

Should be at the game on saturday , it seems an age since we were last at Moor Lane.

Another dismal result from Moor Lane this afternoon as visitors Garforth Town inflicted a 4-0 defeat on hosts Salford City. Can't really see where the next win is coming from.

In fairness, I saw Garforth at Curzon Ashton in the League Cup t'other week and they looked a [ivery[/i handy side.

Another game called off for FC yesterday. Although it did give me a chance to watch United, whether that was a good thing in the end is up for debate...

Hopefully the next game is at home to Marine on Saturday.

Salford City tonight announced the departure of Manager Ash Berry by mutual consent after only nine games in charge with poor performances and a lack of overall improvement being cited as the reasons for his departure. I can agree with the statement but would also add the lack of discipline both on and off the pitch as well as his part time involvement with Huddersfield Town FC which restricted the amount of time he could devote to the Ammies as contributory factors in my opinion.

Next game at home to Woodley Sports in the league ko 3:00 pm on Saturday 20th December.

Jeez that's a bit of a shock, he's had less time than Ince!



Nail. On. Head.

We can't even think of getting ourselves out of relegation if we can't keep 11 men on the field.

On the last day of the season Salford could well be facing Cat Food, sorry [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7789626.stmCafu[/url

Returning to the fold I see, wont be long before you all come skulging back
