Non League Games Today

[Seadoggy]

Am sure he be scoring a few more. As it was bank holiday they streamed the games so thought I catch up, and watch a bit. Was a tough game for Scarborough but against good opposition

Was a tough watch today and thankfully not all the teams in this league are as good as Scunthorpe who brought in about 15 new players from the national league during pre season.

Watched Darlo play South Shields today. Thoroughly enjoyable game.

Me too! Thought the ref was crap but at least equally crap for both teams.

He was. First goal handball, Darlo’s penalty shortly after dubious to say the least!

Always look out for darlos results, feel sorry for them after that nut job reynolds ruined them.

My in-laws are from Scunthorpe so I have adopted them as a second team. I try to get down to Glanford whenever I can but they were certainly a tough watch last season, but I think to understand their demise you need to understand the back-story behind the previous chairman, Peter Swann. Basically, a Wish Mike Ashley. Robbed the club blind and never invested a penny back into it.

Swann sold players at base-level prices to generate income for his personal gains, players who are now prolific throughout the football league. Luckily, a new owner came in towards the end of last year and despite a brief glimmer of hope that they could avoid relegation, it was inevitable given the quality of players that were brought in under the previous regime. Seems that they have bought well this year and have got off to a great start. The new management have really pushed the local pride agenda and got local businesses', tradesman, grass root clubs back involved with the club to generate some form of finance. Unbelievably, the clubs fan base actually chipped in for a new scoreboard however Swann refused to pay the contractor fees to have it installed, so it sat dormant for months. As with the likes of Bury, Rochdale etc, poor management really slides under the radar at that level and fat cat local businessmen just take whatever they feel necessary.

Definitely looking forward to a few "local" away days for them this year.

They only played Saturday evening, it’s a bit unfair for them to then be playing today 3pm kick off. Not much of a gap really.

All teams played both days I think

Talk of a new stadium isnt there? Glanford Park already not fit for purpose?

Hartlepool and AFC Fylde kicked off at 5:30pm though.

Not a huge gap although travelling down to Chesterfield won't have helped.

2 to 3 hours less rest than other clubs then an hour and a half on the bus.

Behave.
