Honest.

Always had a softspot for Harrogate Town and York City, them two behind Leeds. Don't know why but I always try and get down to Town or Bootham Crescent when Leeds aren't playing.. City lost last night to Stevenage and Town beat Hinkley 2-0. They were letting people in for free as it was the re-arranged game where Matt Gadsby died on the pitch and people were making donations into a box etc for his wife and young child.. nice touch.

Good luck to Billingham Synthonia in the FA Vase semi final tomorrow!

I might go to Wembley if Billog get through...

'mon the Synners!

Synthonia lost on penalties, so no Wembley.

Farsley snatched a draw with RMI and were dyer by all accounts.

A draw was probably a fair result to be fair, Farsley hit the post about 15 seconds before we took the lead with 10 minutes late. Doesn't alter the crushing disappointment of conceding the equaliser after nearly five minutes of stoppage time, mind you!

Farsley still in the hunt off the play offs and have a massive game against Hyde on Friday night.

Ourselfs meanwhile have a big game tonight at bottom of the league Lancaster and we need to win.

Champs league? you're avin' a laugh.

Farsley lost at Kettering last night, 3-2.

I think it'll be a big ask for the Celts to make the play-offs now. Still, not bad for a first season.

The restructuring of step 4 has been announced, I can't find it on the FA site, so I've got the link to the story on the FC United website. www.fc-utd.co.uk/story.php?story_id=917 It means 3 teams will definitely be going up from the North West Counties League, possibly 4. 6 points are therefore needed by FC to confirm promotion, so a win tonight at Nelson and a win at Ramsbottom on Saturday and we're up. Chicken counting time. With a place in the NWCFL Challenge Cup Final too, it's looking like a decent end to the season. And some decent away trips to look forward to next year, depending on how they split the league. More info available on Tony Kempster's brilliant football site: www.tonykempster.co.uk/ Statto heaven.

Runcorn beat Leek CSOB 2-0 last night to remain top of the table. Winsford also won beating Ashton Town 1-0, so this means we are top by just 1 point but Winsford who are in 2nd place have 3 games in hand. Padiham in 3rd are 7points behind us but also have 2 games in hand so it's going to be an interesting end to the season!
We are at home on Saturday against Bootle who are currently 7th in the table. After that it's the big one, away to Winsford on Easter Monday kick-off 7:45pm.

Well after all the hype Winsford v Runcorn finished 0-0 on Easter Monday! Good crowd of 446 with about 200 from Runcorn. This means we are still only 1 point ahead of them and they still have 3 games in hand. However, Padiham lost so that means they are 8 points behind us with 2 games in hand.
It's saddening to hear about Scarborough, I remember we played them in the FA Trophy in the last season at Canal Street. How times have changed. Hope there's some light at the end of the tunnel for their supporters

FC Utd were promoted to the Unibond on Saturday after winning 2-1 at Ramsbottom.

This was followed up by a 3-0 win over Maine Rd in the 'mini derby' in front of 3605.

It won't last til Christmas........

Maidstone United still the biggest team in non-league football! They are even getting mentioned on national soap operas like Eastenders

0-4.

Not our finest Canal St moment

Suddenly it looks a bit tight at the top again in Division 1 South!

I've been watching Dulwich Hamlet home and away for nearly thirty years. This has been our best season for ages, playing cavalier attacking football, but we've dropped too many points to the sides near the bottom. It's been great to watch though. I also started watching rugby league in 2001 for something to do in the football close season.

I haven't missed a Hamlet game since September, which means I've had to miss a couple of Harlequins games that clashed. It's a pain Quins playing home games on a Saturday. At least today's game against Wakefield is a 6pm kick off, meaning I should just about get there in time after watching Hamlet v Walton Casuals!

I had a similar problem when Leigh were in Super League, but such are the benefits of the groundshare are that games have been played at HP on the same day on the past, or at least re-scheduled so that an RMI game doesn't clash with the rugby and therefore lose a fair percentage of our crowd

You're not wrong! And Maidstone have stumbled again today, losing 1-0 away to the Met Police

No goals at Stafford. Need to win at a resurgent Southport to maintain our top 5 hopes.

Lovely little ground Stafford, just thought i'd mention

As long as we don't have to go back next season, it can be what it likes

Well their only one place above the relegation zone, so there is every chance





Seriously i know what it 's like, Donny were their 5 years ago. Hopefully you will make it to the play off final, after our playoff final Donny were reborn, might do the same for your boys.

I was pretty disappointed with it last year to be honest, surprised if was passed fit for the Conference considering it's lack of seating.

As for this afternoon's action....

[size=150[url=http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s195/st114844.htm1-0 to the RMI![/url[/size

Runcorn won 4-2 last night and Winsford lost 3-2. We can wrap up promotion on sat at home to Holker Old Boys


It looks as if Lancaster City may be joining us in the North West Counties League according to the BBC Sport site. Good luck to them after what has been an awful season. They're a decent club with a nice ground as well.

So, Saint Linnet, how far is our journey back to Conference football?



Football Conference
Conference North
Unibond Premier
Unibond Div 1
NWC 1
NWC 2

Is that it? and our we in NW2 on the verge on promotion to NW1?

I wouldn't discount yet another restructuring of the pyramid between now and then
