we seem to be doing things the wrong way round in the cups this season,

we keep getting knocked out of the big cups but staying in the tin pot cups.

out of the fa trophy today.

Is that not more down to the quality of teams in the big cups than any failings of your team?

Leigh lost 1-0 to Redditch, 2 leagues aboves us but they needed a goal five minutes from the end to win it after we'd previously missed a penalty

well i suppose but, we have beaten 2 higher ranked teams in the cups this season so, maybe my expectations are to lofty

we missed 2 penalties, thankfully we scored on the rebound for 2nd one only consoation at that point.

if only we had converted the 1st one when it was 0-0 it could have been so different.

Quorn out

Ilkeston only draw

good win today for FC Halifax town, 7 wins from 7 on home soil in the league.

woodley brought a small number of fans and to be fair they made a lot of noise had fun.

we looked comfortable at 2-0 but a mistake nearlly cost us when they got 1 back.

everyone above us won as well apart from Colwyn Bay. but we still have gamesa in hand on all of them apart from Lancaster.

tough game at Leigh next week, looking forward to my first trip to Leigh Sports Village, good playing surface and hopefully for Halifax another 3 points to getting out of this league

You'll be the first ones to manage it this season, if you do - only one home defeat, and that was against Redditch last week in the Trophy. Beat Bae Colwyn 3-1 today, but we could have had six if we put our minds to it.

when you came to the shay earlier in the season i thought you looked a really good supise you were unlucky to leave with nothing.

i am expecting a tough game, should be a good game. theres a reason why we have only lost once this season though in the league so i am expecting us to go out and give it all we have.

Question for Leyther Matt, you may not know the answer to this but you might have more of a clue than me.

why has tommorows game between Leigh Genesis and FC Halifax town been made all ticket.

is it all ticket for every home game you play or just for this one.

i have had a look at a few pictures of the stadium as well, is it a stadium you can walk all the way round when your inside or is it just the case that you pick a stand and you stay there the whole game.

if you can reply to this message as soon as you see it would be most appreciated.

Seems a bit dramatic as I guess the ground will be a quarter full at best.

It's all-ticket in that you can't pay cash on the turnstile, certainly not the only stadium to operate such a policy. And no you can't wander around, only one half of the West Stand is usually open (holds 1,500 so plenty of space).

Makes a bit more sense

yeah am just not used to such a policy being operated in the division we are in.

ah yeah, same case at the shay, they stopped people swapping stands at half time now.

is the West Stand behind the sticks?

It's the main stand along one side.

ah right, i imagine it will be all seated.

looking forward to coming over nice flat pitch, should be a good game.

well i thought at the end of the day 1-1 was a fair result.

2 home games now for halifax should be 2 wins.

Equaliser in the 98th minute or summat daft like that, absolutely gutted to only get a point when it seemed we'd done enough for all three. Free midweek ahead of Radcliffe away next week, though I'll be at Kilmarnock-Hibs instead.

the courier said 94th min, there were 5 mins.

was a good game, i think the leigh ground staff underestimated how many we were going to bring though, crambing both sets of fans in one half of a stand.

was a decent ground though i liked it.

there were decisions that could have gone our way today that might have changed the game.

the game wasnt good in the first half the second half had everything though.

Wouldn't quite say that, was plenty of space lower down in our block and the end block was empty. I've been on when only that half of the stand has been open and 1,200 have been on (Blackburn Res v Bolton & Man City) without a problem.

there was 600 plus there. at least 450 town fans.

yes but the stand behind the goal wasnt open. noone could stand in it.

There weren't as many Town fans as that, nearer to 400. And funnily enough I'm more than aware the North Stand was open. And why should we pay a fortune in costs to open another stand when in reality all the crowd can be comfortably catered for within the West? We open much the same percentage of our ground as you do yours in relation to the average crowds.

is the north stand the one behind the goal?
if so there was noone stood in it and there was a steward stood blocking off the north stand for the whole game.

Curzon Ashton 1 - 2 Warrington









Done the double over the current leaders and our bitter rivals. We rarely lose to Curzon!

Quality stuff

yeah am certainly glad you beat them, we need to catch them.

we have Cuzon away on the 19th won there last season hoping for a repeat.

2 home games on the spin first, need to keep the 100% home record in tact so we can get back on top of the league.,
