Got a horrible feeling croydon will make the play offs and end up winning the thing.

 

 

I see the 4 sides currently in the play off places in the Northern prem Mid division are all leicestershire clubs.

Harborough, Anstey, Hinckley LR and Loughborough.

With Quorn being 1 place below.

Probably, Stormzys team. So they will have funding. 3-0 win for the bulls today and the late flight back from Gatwick so enough time for sufficient pints for them! 
Incredibly the cancelled home match v horley (cancelled because a few horley players didn’t want to pay easyJet £10 surcharge, so the whole team got off the plane) has now been rearranged for a midweek. So that’s a good few grand on new flights and accommodation for the horley team, that the bulls have to stump up

Noticed Congleton (step 5) got over 1000 for their game.

Beat Northwich 10-0 in midweek

Congrats @Finnaldo ! Hoping we can get in the play off mixer! 3 to go.

[filbertway]

So not only did the player in question for harborough start both games, but he actually scored in one of them as well

 

Absolute travesty if they're not punished

£100 fine & a 1 game ban.

It's on the FA site. 

I'm assuming appeals will be incoming from Spalding & Anstey.

Yeah I saw on the FA Website. Fully expect appeals.

 

The fact harborough have seemingly deleted or hidden any related tweets to that period screams guilt 🤣 

 

Unless I've misread the rules I dont understand how the punishment isn't 6 points from the 2 wins being deducted.

Cheers mate! I said earlier in the season to one of your lads it’ll be great if it can be an all Leicestershire affair in regards to promotion this year, got a good setup out of Thringstone you can build on now. Seems Weddy have had a moment and you’re definitely capable of getting results at Stapenhill and Wolves to confirm a spot and at that point it’s for anyone to win. Have our presentation evening the day of the final so as long as it’s not Allscott there’ll be a few Hinckley along to cheer your lot on when you get there!

Big dodgy that result. Northwich being local to Congleton and they need get their goal difference up towards Lichfield as they were potentially equal on points. Hasn't mattered in the end as Lichfield have dropped points. 

[Nugent]

Went to West Didsbury & Chorlton v Wythenshawe on Saturday, very decent crowd of 1,320 for step 5. George Boyd was up top for Wythenshawe. Chorlton is an excellent place to booze pre/post match too. 

[Leicesterpool]

Fans of non league who may have attended Liberty Way and Manor Park at Nuneaton Borough maybe seen this familiar face regular working at the club over years...

Alan Hudson *Nicknamed Chelsea* was long volunteer steward of 20 years at the club sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 54. Chelsea was a loyal supporter, travelled home and away barely missing a game, away games he would always display his two flags. So sad a very nice guy, who lived breathed the Boro, good representation of non league football... RIP

[Super_horns]

Feel for any Aldershot fans who made the long trip North for this game only to see the game called off late on .

Let's have our Leicestershire update

 

Step 3 

Coalville & Barwell firmly mid-table. Expecting a bit of change around Owen Street in terms of personnel particularly given the change in playing style. 

 

Step 4

A superb season here for Leics clubs - 38 game season 

1. Harborough 35 82

2. Spalding 35 80

3. Anstey 34 78

4. Hinckley LR 35 63

5. Loughborough Dyn 35 61

6. Quorn 34 59

 

Shepshed firmly safe in the middle. HARBOROUGH to play - Quorn (h), S.Coldfield (a),  Loughborough D (h) ANSTEY - Cov Sphinx (h), Corby (h), Coleshill (a), S.Coldfield (h) SPALDING - Cambridge C (h), S.Khalsa (a), Coleshill (h)

 

Step 5

UCL North

last game of the season already for this division on Saturday - Loughborough Students and Melton both qualified for the playoffs - high chance they face each other in the semi-finals. Solid first season at the step for Ashby Ivanhoe despite ground issues. 

 

UCL South 

Aylestone Park qualified for the playoffs. Lutterworth Town in a really respectful 10th. Nirvana also staying up. 

 

Step 6

UCL Div 1

Kirby Muxloe clinging onto the final playoff spot. Saffron Dynamo, Birstall, St Andrews all upper mid-table. Very outside chance Lutterworth Athletic could get into a relegation scrap but unlikely. Holwell mid-table whilst their Melton rivals Asfordby have struggled badly at their first regional foray and need a miracle to stay up. 

 

MFL Div 1

AFC Hinckley finally pulled it off. No drama this time around. Unknown if they go UCL South with the Cov sides or MFL Prem. Every chance they face a reformed Nuneaton. However, I don't think they could have a better chance to push on as Step 5 in the South Midlands at the mo is a bit weak in my opinion. Ingles look certain for playoffs - simply superb season from them. Heather are going to miss out for the playoffs.

Another game off at Halifax.

Harborough aren’t out of the woods yet in terms of possible points deductions. Apparently to be discussed by the league next week.

Seen a few AFC Hinckley games, best mate goes to all their games, presentation day tomorrow after last home game vs Bilston. I’ll be knackered though as i’m at Plymouth tonight.

[StanSP]

Hope this doesn't go tits up for them...

The fact that is it 4.5 dollars of bitcoin to me doesn't sound the most secure way to invest and all over their socials are about dodgy bitcoin investors it seems a little dodge. 

 

Plus it's the dodgy twins that said Facebook was their idea.... 

 

Seems too good to be true.

Yeah I do wonder how much actually has been invested and how long term (if at all) they see this. 

 

I'm not confident and there was a lot of controversy about this new club when they first came on the scene. 

[Durnerz]

Relieved to see Shepshed safe, been a tough season and a fair few disgruntled fans have made their feelings clear on social media. Hopefully the club can progress next season.

[goose2010]

Non league just got 4 new fans as we have all agreed tonight not to bother next season. 

 

Just can't commit to LCFC anymore. 

[Corky]

Thank God we have this to look forward to tomorrow.

I haven't regretted it. Coalville v Alvechurch tomorrow marks my 150th consectuive game following Coalville. A run stretching back to October 2020.

That's impressive mate. Think we are going to just tour the midlands and watch someone different each week for a season.

This should've been sorted weeks ago, when the incident first occurred. 

Only 3 games to go & teams at the top are still in the dark.
