Hoping it's BPA to be honest, FCUM only got in to the play offs through the Vics situation, and they'll inevitably do a festive double over us! 

Much rather have a proper non league club like Bradford.

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

No doubt it will be FC Tedious of Gigg Lane.........

Point taken and understood even if they are in fact ex-league! 

[Sarf London Alty]

And Witton beat Curzon Ashton 3-0 to make it up to the Evostik Premier and above Vics now of course.

The connection betwen the club that folded back in 1970 and the present one formed in 1988 is at best tenuous. Think Accrington Stanley, only more so. Proper non-league club in my book.

Would probably get a bigger gate for FCUM, but would prefer BPA.

Could it be Chester for the festive double? Assume Droylesden and Staly will play each other.


Could it be in FCUM's long term interests NOT to come up this time given their club ethos of doing it right?

Let's assume Workington will play Darlington. If Bradford come up, they'll play Harrogate. Halifax would play Guiseley if NEITHER of them win the play-offs (and I fancy Nuneaton !). If those scenarios ALL fall into place, Droylsden would indeed play Stalybridge. But I suspect Colwyn Bay would get Chester, leaving us with Vauxhall bloody Motors 

[Timperley The Best]

I fancy gainsborough for play offs

[Ballers]

I think FCUM will probably come up to be honest, and if not this year then next. Probably be a bit nauseating seeing them at Moss Lane but it is what it is and I'm sure we're not in a position to turn down the probable 1,800 attendance and gate money we'd get from the fixture.

Just not at Christmas please.

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

Maybe we'll choose to play Chester at Christmas now?

[Sarf London Alty]

Vauxhall or Colwyn Bay are both more likely to get them at Christmas. I bet we get them on a Tuesday night.

[John Crewe]

whats the fascination with who we play at christmas?

Droylsden was fine

Surely we want Chester or FCUM (if they get promoted) playing them early in the season would be best?

Christmas fixtures tend to attract better crowds. If the percentage of away supporters is increased by say 10% for these games, we want an extra hundred from Chester rather than three men and a dog from Droylsden.

We would get a bigger crowd against Chester on August bank holiday than at Christmas (and any additional police costs etc would be a lot less)

I am sure Colwyn Bay's derbies will be against Chester.
I remember going for a trial for Cheshire at RAF Sealand when I was kid and they pointed out to me that the next field was in Wales. Initially I was disappointed not to get picked having got right through the trial, but that disappointment lifted after it took the bus 2 hours to get back to Alty and the thought of that journey for every home game!
