Cheeky Chorley breathing down our necks.
As said elsewhere – it’s preferable to finish as runners up for the benefit of home advantage in the play off games.

[Rene Artois]

Have they considered gelding?

Pyrotechnics – Darlington have been bombing along recently but that could all go up in smoke if they are heavily fined, ordered to play behind closed doors or are deducted points:

Lee Named Manager Of The Month

[Rene Artois]

Jim’bo.

[Rene Artois]

Lad’s doing well.
Demonstrating that he’s more than good enough for this level – just as Pugh has done elsewhere.
Both probably just need to feel wanted, needed & loved.

[Rene Artois]

It’s tight at the top.
1 point separates the 2nd and 3rd placed teams.
Tuesday evening will see Chorley a mere 21 miles (as the crow flys) up the road at South Shields.
25 miles by road.

Agreed. You’d say three or four nil to us.

On course Rene.

3:15 kick off now then.
Only 2 of the 3 officials are at the stadium at this moment.
Brilliant innit?

Your a man for your stats Rene you ram them down our throats every day, were averaging more than a point a game since xmas when the wheel’s really fell off that will easily get us there.

Hopefully.

Does it really matter today what the result is were gonna make the playoffs, the elephant in the room is under which manager, most people will agree he ain’t gonna be around next season hopefully with every player out of contract absolutely no one deserves another, so a defeat today wouldn’t be the end of the world and would leave Michelle an easy decision to get rid.

Yeah, I think it does matter. In normal times, we’d expect to go there and win 3-0 or 4-0… today, we’ll be ‘happy’ to not lose.

I think Jimbob is here until the last second of this season.

We think the play offs are a certainty but are they… or will the players start performing and start winning again if it looks in jeopardy?

Turnover of players at this level is huge. I think most clubs just award 12 month contracts.
If we aren’t promoted then I’m sure we will follow suit and become a seasonal club.

A part-time, seasonal club.

A bit like Billy Butlins but with a football.

We could change our nickname to the Claret & Blue Coats?

SO PREDICTION OF 1 – 1
AND 3 YELLOWS + A RED.

Long Easter weekend:

I’d keep my powder dry.
Get red carded for an aggressive foul on 23rd March away at Warrington.

Then you’d miss the game on Good Friday, 29th March and the Easter Monday game on the 1st April.

Long weekend on Tenerife.

[Rene Artois]

Let’s hope that the home support continues on the run in.
Everyone’s a hero!

You think we will get 3 yellows and a red?

Iron 6-1 Blue Brazils

I actually correctly predicted that amazing score line!

A mere 19 weeks later, people are hoping, no praying that the worst doesn’t happen.

It seems that most people whom have expressed, see the game as a 1-1 draw.

WTF!

A 6-1 drubbing to hoping for a 1-1 draw.

Yet, going in to the game – we are still in second place.

It just goes to show how poor this league is!

Wow. Shocked. I thought Joshua was washed up.
Makes a rather poor heavyweight division slightly more ‘interesting’
