Will have to hope for a link up for Runcorn on 11 September.

Sinkov what are the Saturday home fixtures late September?

I'm away from the 9th for a week.

[sinkov]

I'm away back end of September, it's looking like October, these are two possibilities.

Sat Oct 9th Liversedge, Cup game, FA Trophy.
Sat Oct 23rd Widnes, League game.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Sat Oct 23rd Widnes, League game. I think we should make firm arrangements for this one if we can all agree.

I’m fine with the Widnes game.

I’m fine with the Widnes game.

OK we will do it. Anybody else want to meet up and watch a VAR free game?

sinkov ---I see that the top of the table clash went the wrong way for you. Was it a good game and did you get a good crowd, in spite of being let down by all the other lads?

A cracking game Sub, 675 on, and a wake up call for me. I was thinking Clitheroe could be the best team in the league this season, but I was wrong, Workington were the better team, and no mistake. I should have expected it, Workington were about ten points clear when the virus brought the season to a halt, they should have been promoted back then and be playing at a higher level, but I can't see anything stopping them this time, unless Covid shuts it all down again. Play-offs are still on though, we won't be meeting many teams like Workington, and there are some serious players being lined up to sign for us, at least three from a higher level should be coming in soon, so it should still be a good season. How's it going at Ashington ?

[Supersub6]

Your usual fair appraisal, sinkov, and I hope that you pick up again and have a good season.
Ashington play Redcar at home tonight and I shall be there early because you can get curry or chilli and a pint for a fiver before, during or after the game. My mate and I are partaking before the game so it will be a good night, season ticket was 30 quid for 19 home games!
This will be our 9th league match and we are currently 5th in the table and just 5 points off the top. Biggest problem is that they have not been able to field a settled team up to now because of involvement with cricket by Ben Harmison and another lad. It has meant that they have only lost 1 game but have drawn 4 and won 3. Mind you, there have been 28 goals scored in the 8 matches and there promises to be more tonight!
Still early days yet but it should be a steady season.

Sounds good Sub, I don't miss the PL one little bit, I'm sure you won't either. Our manager was on Ribble Valley radio this morning, he didn't beat about the bush, 'No excuses', he said, 'sometimes you just have to hold your hand up and admit it, we were beaten by a better team.' Proper football, I love it.
