Non-league finals day


Lanterne Rouge

Recommended Posts

If you can tear yourselves away from the Sky ****fest that is the Premier League last day BT sport 1 have the FA Vase and FA Trophy finals back to back from 11:30.

Cleethorpes v South Shields in the Vase, York v Macclesfield in the Trophy. For once Wembley have decent ticket prices (£25 and quid a kid for a `day` ticket) and there were 50k there last year.

Just watching now. South Shields have Julio Arca playing for them. Good to see a former prem player dropping into non league just for the love of the game, especially an overseas player.

Know a few heading to the York final; hoping they get a nice end to an otherwise abysmal season.

Have had the Celtic game on in the background the last half an hour - talk about pointless last days; for all the plaudits, Celtic's season has pretty much proven that the SPL is an utterly broken league.

Nice the way they`ve split the stadium up too, a quarter of it for each team but they are encouraged to mingle if they want.

Let's just hope there are no pitch invasions - would be pretty tricky to work out with club the fans would be coming from!

Even though it`s four Northern clubs there it would almost certainly be Millwall.

But gasheads will still blame it on us.

Back to the OP; As Grimsby play their home games at Cleethorpes, I wonder how many of today's Cleethorpes fans are usually found at Blundell Park? A mild interest in South Shields as that's where Ken Wimshurst started his career..

York have just been relegated from the National League, so for the player's self respect and to reward their fans, I expect York to pull out all the stops for this one.

For younger members of the forum; the FA Vase is what used to be the Amateur Cup. The Trophy is for professional teams outside of the Football League. You may recall that three seasons ago, Bath City won a localish derby for one round of that competition.

Yes, unfortunately the plucky underdogs didn`t triumph in that one and class and professionalism won through in the end.
