Non League Football - 2022/23

[Leicesterpool]

Nuneaton Boro win 2-1 at Hednesford, 731 in attendance. Decent that considering Hednesford are bottom, 260 travelled from Nuneaton. Nice stadium Keys Park certainly has a look of a national league ground.

Went Gainsborough v Matlock - proper non league ground with a couple of 'clubs' in it, toilets from the dark ages and great floodlights. Trinity are managed by Neal Bishop and have Clayton Donaldson upfront. Was pure non league brilliance when Matlock had their goalie sent off and their right winger had to go in net. Over 1100 - 3-0 winners to the home side. A surprisingly decent town as well. They had a CM 21 year old, they signed from Alfreton, looked him up he'd played for Rossington Main for 3 years but no-one had picked him up; he will be in the league within two years I suspect.

So Coalville should have gone up last season - owner of a bankrolled club wanting investing, article mentions they missed HMRC payments so likelihood is they chased promotion last season paying players OTT rather than the tax man

Definitely, it’s obvious they have just been bankrolled to a level that is above what they can sustain themselves at.

 

I expected this to happen to be honest.

I think we all did. Seen off a good proper non league club in Pboro at Step 5 in the process as they just kept signing their young players for their own youth set up

Looking forward to Coalville v Tamworth tomorrow! City's game at Gillingham finishes at the perfect time to get down there.

They are showing it in the bar as well if you wanted to get down earlier

I'm there tomorrow. Should be a decent game v Stamford

Whatever is served up at Owen St this afternoon can't be any worse than this shit at Gillingham

Sod watching this dross on bbc1, off down Knights Lane. Be a strange atmosphere down there today as it’s the commemorative match for Cody Fisher who was stabbed and killed in a club in Birmingham on Boxing Day.

Huge game today at Owen Street. Hopefully we turn up in the first half for this one!

[filbertway]

GET IN THERE!! WHAT A RESULT!

An absolute collectors item 

 

Coalville lead at half time and see out a 1-0 win

 

 

Doesn't happen

The pepe factor

 

We've now been forced to play with this formation twice due to injury, I really hope we stick with it as we usually struggle in January and this appears to offer us a bit of stability at the back whilst still being able to create chances.

[spacemunky]

Comfortable win away.

[adam]

Great result for Coalville In front of over 1000 fans. 

Got ****ing soaked though 😆

He played well I’d like to see more of him.

Good performance I thought we looked pretty solid.

Aside from Creaney having a free shot which I'd expect him to bag 9 out of 10 times I thought it was good. Same against Basford, we just looked a bit more gritty and resolute.

Solid 1-1 draw for jersey bulls against the league leaders in some proper wind. Bulls equaliser was a well good direct free kick 

[CosbehFox]

Chatham 1 East Grinstead 0 

 

Brilliant set up and the level of football beyond what step 4 is up North and in the midlands in my opinion. 
 

You’d love a club to have this set up in Leicestershire. A proper terrace. A really good bar. Proper food outlet.

Genuinely interested to hear this, what is it that most of you like about Owen Street and the matchday there? 
 

I’ve always come away from there a bit ‘meh’ about it. No great elevated views of the pitch. The clubhouse is quite small. Probably hasn’t helped it always feels freezing and parking can be a pain.
