    Tamworth will be promoted as Champions.
    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.

    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.

    Tamworth were fast out of the traps today (2nd March 2024). They are 2-0 up after 10 minutes, as you’ll all know.

    Ref is 26 years old and dished out 3 yellows per game (average). Hasn’t red carded anyone this season.

    Record Highest NLN Attendance
    7,488 (play off final)
    21 May 2022
    York City v Boston United

    Let’s mark our short stay in the NLN by setting a new highest attendance record.

    Sat 13th April – we MUST sell every seat as it’s our last home game of the season and we can celebrate winning the league in front of a capacity New Show Ground.

    Other potential games (to tie in with pay days) could be:

    Sat 3rd Feb v Rushall Olympic
    Sat 2nd March v Chester FC

    Let’s celebrate the rebirth of Christ and our Club:

    Fri 29th March (Good Friday) v Kings Lynn Town

    Plenty of opportunities to leave our mark on the league.

    Get the marketing heads on and let’s celebrate!

    Nb
    9-0 is the largest margin of victory in this league.

    Highest Home Win
    Chorley 9-0 Gloucester City
    4th September 2021

    Highest Away Win
    Redditch United 0–9 Boston United
    21st August 2010

    We can do a decadance (sic) of joy if we thrash someone 10-0

    Are you up for the challenge Jimbob and your merry men?

    An Iron for life – Life is Iron!

    Pack the park – let’s smash it!

    Iron 10–0 Chester

    As we know – the attendance record for a National League North LEAGUE game is currently 6,311 and will be smashed on Saturday 2nd March 2024.

    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?

    You 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.
