Sc**thorpe down now (barring AGM cups)
« on: April 10, 2023, 08:31:41 PM »

Scunny could yet have a local derby next season against Gainsborough.

As for Curzon, if they win their next two, away to Blyth and Darlington, they should have quite a good chance of the play-offs. Quite a big if though...

(Also South Shields up - at last!).

SC**thorpe can definitely "look forward" to a Lincolnshire derby against Boston United. Although whether simply being in the same county constitutes a derby when the towns are 62 miles apart is a moot point.

Apart from smashing them 9-0 in the FA Cup in 1953, they have a poor record in League games against Boston. In the 3 seasons that they were both in League 2 (2002-5) their record was 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Yes, Boston look safe now, unlike Kettering. I still think they need to move away from Burton if they're to get back to where they should be. And then there's Worcester City, formerly one of the biggest APL clubs...

Looking likely we'll lose  Torquay or Yeovil or Aldershot, removing 2 of biggest journeys.

Would like Scarborough , Curzon up, as I think Kings Lynn will win the league.

Looks as if we could have a massive say in the relegation fight, given our fixtures - on form it seems like Torquay might do it, but Aldershot probably have slightly easier fixtures. York and Maidenhead could yet be pulled in too.

Probably spoke too soon about Fylde a couple of weeks ago as it looks like they're bottling it again...

The current bottom 4 are going down I reckon.

Bottom two gone. Yeovil have 3 of their last 4 games away, at Solihull, Wrexham, and Boreham Wood, so I don't see them staying up

Because of their inferior goal difference, Torquay need to pull a 3 point advantage over Aldershot. We have to play both of them . Torquay's problem is the same as Yeovil - 3 away games : us, Wrexham, and Chesterfield ! If they don't beat York at home on Saturday I fear for them.

Aldershot have SC**thorpe calling on Saturday - I reckon if they win that they're safe.

Slightly worried about the possibility of relegating Aldershot on the last day, they're not going to like it one little bit!

I would love it too to be fair, though I would tentatively suggest that the vicinity of the Recreation Ground might not be a good place to ostentatiously love it too much should we happen to relegate Town*.


*After the hard work that so many put into helping this club pay off historic debt, I insist on referring to the likes of Aldershot, Halifax and Macc, who got to start a "new" club with a clean slate and the same old stadium, as "(Aldershot) Town", "FC (Halifax Town)", or "the newly formed Macclesfield FC", rather than a name which does not acknowledge that any such thing happened.

Out of interest, what year was it that we became 'debt free' ?

i drove past the moss rose on saturday and they've got a big sign outside saying something along the lines of "since 1874.". i think that's called having it both ways isn't it?

I think Robbie Savage and M*cc were absolutely made for each other.
Make of that what you will, as they say.
