Non League Football

I will be there also. Nothing on twitter or club website to suggest game in doubt. I would expect a larger than usual crowd perhaps up to 2000. I was at the second vase game at Morpeth as well as the first. I thought both teams played the game in a sporting fashion with no animosity between supporters which considering the prior generator failure was a credit to both teams. At the time I thought Shields should have taken the moral high ground and conceded the tie. No one of course agreed !

Shields match postponed.

Pools away to Exeter in the cup tomorrow. A lad I know has gone..... Newcastle to Alicante this morning, then Alicante to Exeter later today. Not sure how he's getting back mind.

I agreed, thought Shields should have done that.

Why can’t Morpeth just look back fondly on their Wembley win in 2016 instead of trying to find conspiracy theory’s about the floodlight failure and the f.a. Rules regarding such events. UTM

Took the blog for an increasingly rare outing today and saw the FA Vase tie at West Auckland. They've smartened up the ground a bit down there. Wanted in West Auckland

I am not suggesting a conspiracy theory. I only suggested that Shields should have conceded the tie. But the FA ordered a replay. Both clubs played the replay without a problem

Glad you agreed, unfortunately the FA didn't

I thought Shields were a disgrace, they should gave conceded the tie, floodlightgate looked very, very dodgy.

Great comeback by Hartlepool down at Exeter to force a replay. Puts us into the hat for round 3.

Good chance we could be on TV for the replay. 1st rd replay tv money was £33750 per team, I'd imagine a similar amount per team for the 2nd round replay IF selected. Winner of the tie also gets £54000 then the possibility of anything in round 3. Lots of ££ up for grabs for Hartlepool, it all counts.

FA Trophy Shields 4 Stourbridge 0 after 36 mins

Morpeth’s game against Marske called off due to floodlight failure.

 

[marinersteve]

Final score SSFC 4 Stourbridge 0. Home to Southport next round

 

[DJM]

Is this a prophetic thread? I know we're on a downward spiral but.....

Nice result, thought we could of put a few more in the second half.

South Shields did exactly the correct thing to do which was following FA instruction To play the game.

Hope Morpeth just award the League Cup tie to Marske.

This is all the more funnier after Ken Beattie let his fat gob go after the postponement on Saturday. Bet he wished he'd kept his trap shut now

Eh ! There was no score at the time, not 1/4 , and right near the end of the game, as at Shields

And? Floodlights went out, I thought any decent thinking team would award the tie to the opposition? It's just as much a fluke for lights to go out at 0-0 as they are at 4-2 or are suggesting something else?
