Johhny Worth was before my time

Wow.
Today's been a reality check for me!
First off, too vulnerable to be back at ML with all you invulnerable youngsters.
Now, the great Johnny Worth, well and affectionately recalled, is before your time!

Hope I'm still here when it's safe for me to go back to our ground! 😉
😂🤣😂🤣

In all sincerity, so do I. Sometimes its easy to forget that we aren't all in the same boat. Stay safe in the meantime and hopefully you'll judge the risk is low enough for yourself at some point this year.

Thanks Cheshire.
Due my second jab in a few weeks so a fortnight after that, I'll chance seeing some of the grandkids. 

Can't see either myself or Mrs S being back at ML before next season 😕

(For the record, Tom Peers. Maybe it's just me, but I reckon he's been on it lately  how many strikers have we had post Maunders who have done this well with goals/assists when we've been top half of the Conference?)

Since you mention it - https://off-guardian.org/2020/12/19/how-belarus-exposes-the-lockdown-lie/

Woking had just beaten Torquay as well. Didn't we jolly nearly win at Hartlepool?

I mean, Barrow historically weren't our rivals (or Southport) but they seemed to find a way.

It's funny, you seem to get the likes of Barrow and Chester who seem quite keen to be our rivals, and then there's clubs like Stockport (and possibly Bury) where there's no great desire on either side to be rivals.

Technically, the National League have the power to expel Dover for failing to fulfil their fixtures. As harsh as this maybe considered in the current environment, it occurs to me that it's an opportunity to even up the number of teams to 22.

Understand where you're coming from, but I'd be astonished if they were expelled from the GMVC (or whatever it's called these days) on that basis.

Blimey, it was obvious when they played us that they'd gone off the boil.

On another note, if we are in agreement that County are not a rival, then who do we have? All of our past rivals have fallen by the wayside, will we ever have one again?

The way they're going, it could be Wigan Athletic again soon! 😂😂

PS. If the fate of nearly all of our ex rivals isn't a warning from the Almighty not to be a rival to Alty, I don't know what is! 😉

Love it!

Yes l was at that match and if l remember correctly it was 0-0 at halftime and we had played well, facing into a very strong wind and defending the Golf Rd end.
In the second half obviously we had the wind at our backs and when Andy whacked the ball in it is still probably the sweetest strike l have ever seen. It was a goal the instant it left his foot. He was so far out l think he was somewhere near the train station when he let fly.

As we all know, despite their history, Stockport and the rest of the "big" clubs in this league have no god-given right to be in the FL; without Gannon at the helm they may well be present at this level a fair bit longer.

We have all seen many smaller, better organised outfits go on to be established FL clubs at the expense of these giants... I'm sure I'm not on my own in hoping we could be one of the next!

Chester have been the obvious ones in more recent times. Shared train line and quite a bit of aggro at the games.
