The Non - League thread

[Royalclapper]

Boisterous and euphoric bunch of Dartford supporters got on the train at Wrexham while i was on my way to Chester on Saturday.

Mind you, a last minute equaliser and a healthy crowd in a decent stadium probably went some way to fueling a good weekend bash.

[Compo's Hat]

Fingers crossed Didcot play their cup match against Maidenhead on the Friday like in the last round.

Had many a run in with Dartford fans in my time. Club secretary is a right cock.

Well supported club on their travels though.

[paultheroyal]

Awful draw for Basingstoke.

[Zammo]

Didcot Town v Maidenhead United

Tie of the round. I will welcome the MMS with a baseball bat

[Royalist]

Windsor ship 6 at home

Meanwhile Keith Scott is some fans choice for Wycombe job. LOL The man who helped run old club into ground with a berks and bucks cup and promotion to Southern Prem only to name and then couldn't win a league that is quite frankly pub football in all but name at some club with a hefty wage bill is suddenly good enough for League football?!

....... Hungerford exit cup tonight on pens v Merthyr

I may have chatted to you unbeknownst to both of us at Stag Meadow, and I'm sure you're a really nice guy and all that, but although everyone knows you don't like Keith Scott because he shagged your Mum in a former life, can you really just fcuk off now with your one-eyed biased rubbish?

If he goes to Wycombe I think he will do ok. His ego needs a bigger pond to float in, and better players to verbally abuse.

Chalk and cheese as individuals now, but remember Slough Town's manager a decade + ago? An arrogant, confrontational young chap called Brian McDermott.

Non League managers can make it in the big league.

[Alan Partridge]

His wage demands will be more realistic for a club like Wycombe that's for sure!!!

[Royalist]

Huge difference between dog and duck league to league two Rother for starters Wycombe won't have head start of playing sides just playing expenses . I'd be amazed if anyone who hasn't got at least conference south experience is given a chance. Only reason he is linked is because he slagged off the old board and is a fan hero for his playing days.

He may well do well but i won't bet on it!

A fair few managers with no experience get a chance.

[Royalist]

Yes but most the time they have been part of a full time set up and have alot of coaching experience at a full time club...although i do admit once a physio became manager!

[Ark Royal]

Bertie Mee was the club physio at Arsenal, became manager in '66 and led them to the double in '71.

[Tad Showbiz]

Fingers crossed Didcot play their cup match against Maidenhead on the Friday like in the last round.

Maidenhead have asked for Saturday according to Didcot's forum.

Well that's a few of the MMS out due to being in another country.

[Alan Partridge]

They're going to get the biggest Windmilling ever if the Diddy Deadheads are about.

Tough place to go!

... part update and by way of an apology - as it wasn't an NL w/e for me this PM I completely missed the Trophy matches being played this PM.

Wealdstone 3 – 1 Chertsey Town

In mitigation there weren't that many 'local' sides involved in a competition I don''t tend to follow much anywhich!

...and the Southern League site hadn't adjusted their w/e fixture lists to account for the Trophy taking place!

Fuller round-up sometime tomorrow.....
