Title: FA Trophy run
Post by: taxi Phil on February 06, 2013, 12:20:50 PM
Gainsborough have now accounted for three BSP Clubs (Forest Green, Telford, and Barrow) and must hoping for an all Lincolnshire final at Wembley against Grimsby. I'm all for it if it restricts their play off push.

I'd actually be quite pleased if they won it. I know they were a League club for 15 years (once finished a point behind City !) But it WAS over a hundred years ago, and I've always seen them as a "proper" non league club. We used to play them in friendlies before they became fellow founder members of the NLP , and I seem to remember Derek Kennerley had a lot of help from them in setting up our successful development.pool, as their.Gainspool had been running some time before

So good luck Trinity for both right and selfish reasons !

Why?

It could quite easily be a much better game between lesser lights

That sounds a bit like the year in the 90s when the final was Macc v Vics, lowest Trophy final gate of all time for a Wembley final that one was IIRC. No mark pub outfits both.

Wrexham v Halifax would produce a very sizeable attendance neither has ever played at wembley...

If Dartford beat Halifax (2-1 at the moment, 75 min) that would immediately lower the potential following.

Halifax out

Dartford win 3-2.

JACK : BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR !

Non-Alty, but remarkable - Frickley have won 8, drawn 3, and lost 2 at home. So they can't be totally crap........but their 3-2 defeat at Worksop this evening leaves them still without a single point from 12 away games !

I'd just like to point out that I told Socrates before we played at Worcester (in the Trophy obviously) that I fancied Dartford for the Trophy...

It is of course about what we do but slips by other teams allow us to slip up as well.  

We won't win every game along the way to the end of the season (I don't think).  

I'm sure there will be a game where we do everything but score and then Jonny Teenager pops up with a thunderbolt and we have lost 1-0.

I think it started with me at an early age, watching 309 on ceefax to see if people had scored, waiting for page 3/3 to come round

IF we push on.....

IF we don't get injuries.....

IF we don't get suspensions.....

IF other teams don't suddenly string together a massive unbeaten run.....

Then we WILL win the play offs.

IF is only worth 5 at Scrabble, but a lot more in football.

Nope. Wycombe beat us 2-1 at Adams Park before finishing the job 2-0 at Moss Lane. They then beat Kiddy 2-1 at Wembley in the final IIRC. It's where the Martin O'Neill legend began.

I was doing A-levels in Wycombe at the time - not a good day :'(

My teacher was at the game and said there was only one team in that first leg - and they lost.  But then he was a Sunderland fan so what does he know!

I went to that final.....I think that it was one of the biggest, if not the biggest FA Trophy Final attendance at the time......about 35,000? Decent game....very colourful final
