Personally, I hope we don’t finish as runners up or third.
I think those teams that play in the Playoff Semi-Finals have an advantage and are ‘in the zone’Play offs will be an absolute lottery!
Here’s how one site sees the final table looking:
https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league-north/league-table/predicted
We’re ahead of my predictions.
We’ve actually taken 5 points from the last 5 games.
The next 9 games are an easier set of fixtures and we should pick up plenty of points.Great effort. Congratulations.
It’s EIGHT games since we last scored in the first half of a league game.
Patience is a virtue.
The 2-2 draw with Chester moves us on to nine games without scoring in the first half.
Breathing down our neck.
4 points behind with a game in hand.Tamworth were fast out of the traps today (2nd March 2024). They are 2-0 up after 10 minutes, as you’ll all know.
LS – Tamworth 2-0 BlythRef is 26 years old and dished out 3 yellows per game (average). Hasn’t red carded anyone this season.
Have a good day trip Seals.
Great support!Strong, competent ref needed.
I hope the powers at @TheVanaramaNL have thought about who they are letting officiate the game between @SUFCOfficial & @ChesterFC today. Hopefully an experienced official who will not be in awe of the crowd and officiate fairly and consistently..

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?
Best wishes mate.
A pod of seals cast their eyes on tomorrow’s game.

@ IFA – We’d be in 7th heaven if we could tip 7k
UTIYou 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.
Football is in a sad state in the UK.
The disparity will kill the game at the lower levels. -
