Sol thewall Bamba Posted 23 October 2019 Share Posted 23 October 2019 Went to Wimborne Town vs Dorchester Town last night, tier 7 I believe. Enjoyable local derby, interestingly both teams have the nickname "The Magpies" and both play in black and white striped home strips. Wimborne have really kicked on the last couple of seasons helped in part by a promotion they got by default when one of the promoted teams got a points deduction a couple of seasons back due to fielding an illegal player. Decent crowd of 380 ish which is about triple the gate from when I was last there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also been to Magpies v Magpies (Notts County v Chorley) this season. Swear it's not a million years ago Dorchester were pushing for the Conference?

A lot of teams play in black and white at that kind of level, disproportionately so it seems. No idea about Dorchester, but from memory they have a tidy ground for a 7th tier team so maybe they have been much higher in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 (edited) Went up to watch Chester v York yesterday in the national league north, 1st v 2nd. Good atmosphere there yesterday over 3,000 fans there with 900 travelling York fans making plenty of noise. Match itself was pretty dull. two teams that looked similar, that cancelled each other, the only thing that separated them was York's winner half way through the second half. Credit to the ground staff getting the game on, despite the weather... the pitch looked fantastic. It was all chaos after the game though.. with ground being a good 3 miles from the city centre we arranged a taxi to pick us up, even though we did book it well in advance and to become before the final whistle to beat the crowds the taxi didn't show up till 5.05pm and of courses ended up getting stuck in traffic. Then was the problem with the railway... couldn't get train direct from Chester to Crewe due to the flooding and was forced to change at Warrington.. then get to Crewe from there. We did that no problem... arrived Crewe all the trains going south apart from ours going south appeared delayed or cancelled.. stood a platform... time had come and passed still no sign no train. Then it was announced cancelled along with all the trains... the staff then decided to disappear at Crewe nobody could find anyone to find out if there was any other form transport to take us from Crewe back to the Midlands... eventually after a while announced that a coach was leaving outside the station. When we got outside the Virgin Trains staff told us that the London Northwestern apparently despite this being their service... weren't getting involved! In other words... washing their hands of the whole affair leaving us passengers stranded. Eventually we did get away as we passed every station all we could see crowds of people... struggling to get home... with loads of police. What should have took 90 minutes to get to took five hours to get home! I can sympathise the weather was bad yesterday and if the line was flooded then there's nothing they can do.. but it didn't seem there was no plan b... I think to avoid this they should have had things in place, like not having coaches ready was just strange.

spacemunky Posted 3 November 2019 Share Posted 3 November 2019 Don't know why we struggle so much at home sometimes. Happy to get a point though vs Hartlepool after going down by 2. Wesley Thomas with both our goals. He's really picked up his game of late. Nice that we finally have some scoring options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 9 November 2019 Author Share Posted 9 November 2019 Spare a thought for North Ferriby, they were winning 2-0 at Swallownest last week and midway through the second half, the floodlights fail - match abandoned. Guess what happened today with them winning 4-1 at Ollerton Town? They'll almost certainly be given that result but even so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 17 November 2019 Share Posted 17 November 2019 (edited) Interesting day at Nuneaton Borough, absolutely dull first of half with no shorts or skill. Second half the game was totally turned on its head, win a penalty following an hand ball... who comes to take it only the goalkeeper!... takes it... fires it so high over the bar it hits one of the lights in the stand, causing it to fall and dangle. Absoulte madness... Boro went on to beat Stratford Town 2-0! don't we love football Edited 17 November 2019 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 18 November 2019 Share Posted 18 November 2019 Ossett United, a non-league football club from West Yorkshire, are planning to sell their ground and say that their entire future is “in jeopardy” after they lost a landmark legal case taken by an opponent who broke his ankle. Ossett say that their insurance, which includes a liability policy offered by the Northern Premier League, did not protect them from costs or legal fees should they lose a claim and they have now been left with a court order for almost £135,000 for damages, costs and legal fees. The match against Radcliffe Borough in April 2015 was abandoned when Rees Welsh broke his ankle following what his manager, Danny Johnson, called a “poor challenge and a horrible incident”. Phil Smith, the Ossett United chairman, said that it was a “solid tackle” but that the damage was inadvertently caused when Sam Akeroyd’s trailing leg caught Welsh’s ankle. Welsh was forced out of football for more than a year with the injury and took his case against both Ossett Town, who were merged with Ossett Albion in July 2018 to become Ossett United, and Akeroyd. He was awarded damages of just over £19,000, with the remaining £115,000 relating to costs and legal fees. Ossett are not leaving Akeroyd to foot any of the bill and have now set up a crowdfunding page. Smith told The Telegraph that the club lived “hand to mouth” and that their running cost each year amounted to £300,000. They now fear that appealing the case, which was heard at Manchester County Court and is understood to have centred on the referee’s view of the challenge, could increase the costs and say that selling the ground, their only asset, “is now looking like the only option”. Smith said that there was also now huge concern within the league that further claims could arise from previous incidents and threaten the existence of other clubs. They also believe that it could “open the floodgates” in other sports. In correspondence with the league, Ossett were told that the liability policy covers legal defence costs but not any compensation or claimants’ costs awarded by a court. Player-to-player insurance is not mandatory under FA Regulations. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/11/18/players-broken-ankle-puts-non-league-clubs-future-jeopardy-lose/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t cause an impact in other sports such as rugby union, rugby league, tennis, hockey etc. As long as they are affiliated clubs, those associations’ participant to participant liability policies have a reasonable level of cover. It’s just football where there are serious ramification for third party costs and damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
