National League 2020-21

Travis_Bickle

Not sure anyone could have predicted a start to the season like this.
Wild has put his own team together. Most seem optimistic. Town play most of the favourites for promotion in the first few games so we’ll have a better idea by the end of the month.
Dagenham & Redbridge at home to kick things off.
It’s not seats M105 and 106 but it’ll have to do for now…..

Couple of cracking signings announced. The brillaintly-named Gold Omatayo was arguably Yeovil’s best player last season. Proper target man.
Gevaro Nepomeceno worked under Wild at Oldham.
They’re ‘short-term’ signings. Hopefully available for the tricky early matches.
EDIT - seems someone was bigging Omatayo up a bit too much. Did get two against Town but that was his best game it seems.

1-0. Luke Summerfield penalty. They’re using an automated streaming camera that decided to pan back down the pitch just as he stepped up to take it.
Teething troubles. Just great to see the eldest happy watching her team again….

2-0. Cracking start to the season. Much better distribution from the back which made a huge difference. Comfortable in possession, lots of movement. They made space and used it well. It’s too early to get carried away but you can’t argue with a win. Dagenham are no mugs and they never really looked like scoring.
Not the same as being there but at least we’re dry. There were a few teething troubles although most of those were down to our TV, stream was perfect when we switched to a Mac. Club deserve a lot of credit getting it sorted so quickly. Not like they’re flush with brass.
Stockport away next. Another big test.

Anchor

Dover beat County!

Cooley

We won 2-1, but you all know that already 😉 However, by far the best result for us today was the Instagram pic of Ryan Reynolds and his mate stumping up their 10 bucks to watch us on a live stream. Good signs, good signs…

I’m going to start buying the Halifax stream as a gesture of solidarity.

Coronavirus National League, game two. Stockport away…..

Cooley

Another day, another defeat. It doesn’t get any easier supporting Wrexham. The superior team this time? The mighty Solihull Moors. Fuck me, in the early 80’s we were playing Chelsea at home. Now we’re traipsing to some backward shithole in the midlands.
The streaming didn’t work, mind you, neither did the team. Verdict: Shit.

Cooley I’m with Anchor about this one. Solihull Moors is about as nice as a small ground can get.

Cooley I went to solihull to watch Wrexham a couple of years ago on a 29 seater . Spent most of the game in the big socil club in the ground . Managed to catch the goal though in a Wrexham 1-0 win . Had a crackling day out .

Anchor

Solihul is pretty posh TBF - they also have three (3) bars in the ground. Not that they are seeing much action.

I feel your pain Cooley.

Some of us have a spring in their step this morning. Guiseley are joint top of National League North (admittedly after one game) following their 4-0 drubbing of a lacklustre Blyth Spartans last night, giving us a top of the table clash away at Boston United this Saturday! Guiseley also beat Alfreton Collieries 4-0 on Saturday in the FA Cup.

I’ll enjoy it while I can.

Cooley

white_dragon That’s the thing: we’ll give anyone a run for their money in terms of a Jolly Boys’ Outing. No problem, although it’s more drinking, less fighting these days.
It’s to make up for our complete and utter fucking incompetence on the pitch.

white_dragon

Wrexham were in the middle of a good run at the time . Best part of 2000 reds there .

Cooley

white_dragon We’ve always had a good following - from when I first went away back in the late 70’s. And pubs like us because we’ve always been massive drinkers - unless you ran a pub in Chester. Things were slightly different then.

Kids’ shirts have arrived…..

Cooley

Away today. Yeovil. Be a tough one this. The good news is that Yeovil are kindly supplying a stream for FREE - nice touch that. Shame those premier league cunts can’t do the same. Anyway, KO 3pm. COYR.

Travis_Bickle

Boreham Wood away. There’s a stream but some are boycotting it. The ‘Wood’ charged Town’s media people (usually media studies students doing the job for nowt) entry to the ground and wanted them to pay for the privilege of filming some bits of the game a couple of seasons ago.
Horrible little vanity project club. Treat away fans like shit too.
Kids want to watch mind.

Cooley

Yeovil 0 - 1 Wrexham

Well done us. All over them like a cheap suit in the first half. Decided, Wrexham being Wrexham, to sit back after the 46th minute. Few shaky moments, but we held out. Just.
