Title: Marine : Match Thread
Post by: One Foot in the Grave on April 22, 2018, 11:56:35 PM
Let's not forget amidst the euphoria of winning the league that we still have two games in which reach 100 goals for the season.

We haven't enough fit players to rotate the squad much, so I expect Saturday's starting XI to be on duty again.

I take us to win 4-0 (Hulme, JJ, Hancock, Hannigan).

Let's try to turn out in force and give the lads the reception they deserve.

3 goals needed for the magic 100 up, between them Marine & Hednesford have conceded a combined 150 league goals this season-I think we might just get there. Just a shame that we can’t quite make 100 points...

Hope for a good turnout for this fixture, but its a midweek fixture. Here's hoping.

I am sure PP will have them grounded and switched on. Lets win in style guys. Pressure is now off somewhat.

Think they take it quite seriously so that isn't a bad shout. Josh Amis won't be playing either.

For those who travel by tram, it looks like there's a reduced service today - Piccadilly trams are terminating at Timperley but Bury trams are going through to Alty according to TFGM - they say there's a track fault at Alty. Allowing a bit extra time sounds like a good idea ...

 Dispute the continuous rain there don't seem to be any problems with the pitch.

 3-0 to the Champions

 Don't normally do to well with attendances midweek

 But tonight is special 895 my guess

2-1 win. Attendance no more than 750 tonight but I think we'll get a very good crowd on Saturday.

Is this looking more and more likely to be in danger of being called off/not able to finish?

Off.

Forecast looks reasonably ok on Thursday and you would assume the league would take precedence over Marine's Liverpool Senior Cup Final?

When does a county cup game not have preference over a league game?

I reckon tonights' game will be rescheduled for tomorrow

Good job we wrapped the league on Saturday. I'd be having kittens if we hadn't.
