Non League Football.

[Tony Towner]

It will, but not easy as Gateshead are getting sent to the NPL which is the other side of the pyramid to Aldershot, so will take a fair bit of organisation.

Also missed it last week but Cove Rangers (they're from Aberdeen) are now in the SFL and Berwick got relegated to the Lowland League. Only the second time a team has got promoted since they brought that playoff in.

 

[Tony Towner]

I also missed that and kills the most repeated football quiz question

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Go with the other old favourite, which football ground is closest to the River Mersey?

(It's Edgeley Park)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I knew that one. Probably because you may mentioned it once or twice!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Five teams (it was six but Merthyr are moving now) who play in Wales but are in the English pyramid?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Swansea Cardiff Wrexham Newport chester

Good lad

The pitch at Chester is in Wales, the club offices are in England.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It rings a bell that Chester’s stadium is over the border but that is probably bollocks. If not it would be Oswestry

One other bit of news: Bangor City got docked all their points they earned this season in the Cymru Alliance deducted (as Stephen "Scouse Brick Top" Vaughan is being his usual self) and they've been demoted to the Welsh Alliance (which means the same thing as "Cymru Alliance", top work there from the FAW). It's the kind of level where a good portion of TWF posters might look alright.

They finished 2nd in the Welsh Premier League in 2017/18 but the off field stuff is killing them. They actually have one of the better grounds in Wales too.

I saw us play at Sealand Road in the late 80's, which is now a Homebase. We stood on this

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looks outstanding :icon_lol:

I think Springfield Park had a grass bank as the away end too.

 

[Tony Towner]

I think it did, although I've only ever been to Whelan's Meccano set. Apparently The Shay was the worst, just a bank of mud.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The Shay was also Oldham levels of cold the time I went there. Absolutely fucking bonechilling.

I was at the last ever fixture at Sealand Road. Chester City v Rotherham Utd. 1989/90 season.

Rotherham also played at the last ever fixture at another old ground that season. Which I was also at.

Name the ground.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Feethams?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Belle Vue?

Fellows Park?

 

[Langers]

Fellows Park?

Correct.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Gateshead have their takeover now so appeal is in. Hopefully they get it sorted.
