enough of their cup heroics as we want some for ourselves

they beat Wycombe last year but we want nothing less than a win over Notts County

If your boss is shrewd he will get you putting on a good show for the fans then missing out to a dodgy late goal or on pens

If you get there your spoilt for choice Huddersfield, Rotherham, Rochdale, Oldham etc at home would all be great for you.

yeah but would want a team we have a fighting chance of beating so we can get further into the competition.

FA Cup 3rd Round Qualifying -
FC United 3 v 3 Stalybridge Celtic

Replay Tuesday night

Sounds like a cracker

i have a freind who supports fc united.

at least they will have the benefit of knowing who they will be playing in the next round when they play tuesday night.

i would want to avoid fc united though.

are Durham City on to break any records.

they seem to be the whipping boys of the Unibond Premier conceding 5 goals every game.

there on to break 100 conceded before Christmas at this rate.

All because of the Conference denying them any chance of promotion because of their plastic pitch.

Sponsors pulled out and all their players left.

they cant go up any more is that what your saying.

we have a team like that in out league. woodley sports cant get promotion because they have a plastic pitch. i suppose when you get to a certain level its a requirement to have a grass playing surface and not a plastic one.

did they lose all there players?

Stupid thing is Durham were happy to stay in the North East and play in the Northern League but the FA were desperate for them to move up (which I think they would not have done if they had known this would happen)

The NLP reported all players were released so I'm guessing most did and I am guessing they are managing with kids and thus getting thrashed every week.

oh well i'm glad i know the reason.

i was starting to get worried about Halifax getting promoted and getting thrashed every week.

if they are having to manage to kids then thats bad for them.

they will probably get relegated but i guess they wouldnt mind that so they can start building again.

Think they will happily go down next season also and back to less travelling and loads of local derbies

The Unibond Premier is good at the top (Eastwood and us doing well in the BS North shows its not a great leap up) but there are a fair few weak clubs there too.

If you go up you will be fine.
