Non League Football


Shields beaten 3-2 at home by Coalville Town in the League cup Semi Final last night. Young side up against a team with nothing else to play for. Decent game and decent crowd of over 900
 
League meeting last week saying one team next season and two the following season. But our secretary saying it changes all the time due to league restructuring. What’s happening with new leagues is clear as mud but hopefully will come into place after two seasons.
What's your opinion on the vote the nl just had about staying in the pyramid. Surely stuff like this isnt going to help them with wanting to run the new step 4 lge in a couple of seasons.. Think they have just blew what little chance they had of getting it myself.


Marske, in 2nd place in the Northern League, have something like 13 games to play in less than 4 weeks.
In one week they are due to play Saturday , Monday, Wednesday , Thursday and again on Saturday!!
Unbelievable and ridiculous.

Had another game postponed yesterday. Would love to see them beat Morpeth to the title but can't see it now

For me Morpeth have the best team. Got that grit you need as well to win the Vase and Northern League. Kenny Lindoe who was manager when I was chairman thinks Marske have the best team and rates their manager very highly says they play his type of football. which they do they play lovely football but personally I think you need the right mix. Personally want to definitely stay in pyramid system. FA have used the FA cup like a big stick but we need to be part of it and able to compete in the FA cup. It brings in a large amount of prize money which is much needed if you win a few games in it.
 
See spennymore lost 3-0 last night.

Me thinks all these games could cost them a play off spot. Players are knackered.

2 weeks left to get over the line for the title.
Hit good form the last few weeks to put themselves back in pole position.

A lot of work to be done over pre season to hopefully have a good go at promotion from the NPL.
 
Think they’ll come up short this season but apparently got pitch sorted which helps.

Playing all ready relegared North Ferriby tomorro. Win tomorrow they could be 4 points ahead of York who only have 3 games left, spenny have 5 (after tomorro) chorley have same amount of games left as spenny but are 3 points behind and play blyth tomorrow. Could be 6 behind with 5 games left. Both chorley and york need to catch spenny for them to miss out. I think they'll get to play offs and get beat in first round, which itself is a massive achievement

Shields will go up probably as champions. Got a really good side. Should go up again next season as well. Definitely got a squad of players even now to challenge for promotion next season but will no doubt probably strengthen again in the close season.

More or less agree. Might find playoffs a step to far this season. Is Alan Courtney still involved in any capacity. Always liked Alan.

They’ve played a few teams from the League above over the season/pre season and had a mixed bag of results. All be it in Cup and Pre Season. I think they need to add a bit more before they can get promoted from the NPL.

Shields with the current squad I would be happy with the play offs. Definitely need to strengthen of they want to go up. Only winners up next season without playoffs

I think shields will win the league next year and then find it really competitive in conference north. Evo stik leagues weren't massively different, i watched spenny through both leagues and got promoted twice (via playoffs) in a row with only few additions to the squad along the way. Theres never been a massive overhaul and it pays off to have a solid team rather than individual flare players.
