are Durham City on to break any records.

they seem to be the whipping boys of the Unibond Premier conceding 5 goals every game.

there on to break 100 conceded before Christmas at this rate.

All because of the Conference denying them any chance of promotion because of their plastic pitch.

Sponsors pulled out and all their players left.

they cant go up any more is that what your saying.

we have a team like that in out league. woodley sports cant get promotion because they have a plastic pitch. i suppose when you get to a certain level its a requirement to have a grass playing surface and not a plastic one.

did they lose all there players?

Stupid thing is Durham were happy to stay in the North East and play in the Northern League but the FA were desperate for them to move up (which I think they would not have done if they had known this would happen)

The NLP reported all players were released so I'm guessing most did and I am guessing they are managing with kids and thus getting thrashed every week.

oh well i'm glad i know the reason.

i was starting to get worried about Halifax getting promoted and getting thrashed every week.

if they are having to manage to kids then thats bad for them.

they will probably get relegated but i guess they wouldnt mind that so they can start building again.

Think they will happily go down next season also and back to less travelling and loads of local derbies

The Unibond Premier is good at the top (Eastwood and us doing well in the BS North shows its not a great leap up) but there are a fair few weak clubs there too.

If you go up you will be fine.

i'm sure we will do well.

we will have to make the shay a fortress. like we are doing this season.

i'm sure we have a squad that can go up to that league to baring a couple of players who i dont think will make the grade.

FA Cup draw tommorow its been such a long time since we had a good cup run.

i dont even think i was alive the last time we made the 3rd round.

fa cup

Halifax have Wrexham at the shay.

a tough match against a conference premier club. we have a chance at home though of causing an upset.

come on Shaymen.

FA Cup 3rd Round Qualifying -
FC United 3 v 3 Stalybridge Celtic

Replay Tuesday night

Should have won that. But, on the other hand, we were clinging on at the end!

Northwich Victoria away in the next round for whoever gets through.

Absolutly gutted the two clubs I go and watch regularly draw each other Ilkeston or Eastwood v Tamworth.

tough one to choose who to support then.

i am happy to have got a club that might bring a few fans and like i said we have a chance against anyone at home of causing an upset.

tough game thuogh will be really tough to win but i believe we can do it. they are struggling abit in the conference at the minute and we are playing good stuff.

another potential shock could be on the cards.

i really hope we get through.

i beleive that we could be the lowest ranked team left in if we get to the first round and if we get a big club at home i would think that we might get on the bbc
