transfer reader Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Convincing 3-0 win for Farm Other results mean playoffs aren't sealed yet, but entirely in our own hands and a win at Tavistock in the week will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Paulton relegated today even though they won 2-1 at Exmouth. Simply not been good enough this season. The way the football side are of the club is run at the moment it could be a long road back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Bizarre old game at Yate. The Bluebells by far the dominant side from 1-90 and at 90 minutes led 3-1 after great finishes (and questionable keeping) - English-Brown and McCootie (2) with the goals. Then it turned to ratshit. Two very scrambled efforts in injury time gave Cribbs an undeserved 3-3 overall and ended Yates slim playoff chances. Can’t see Cribbs going up if that’s the normal standard, and positive signs for Yate next season if they keep the likes of the goalscorers and Guest.

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Looking like Frome, Manor Farm, Cribbs & Larkhall for the play off places. Will definitely take in some of these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible team, not in kicking people but just in you couldn’t watch that on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their manager left after they lost to farm, but think that was due to personal reasons. They haven't uploaded anything to their youtube since then either. 16 minutes ago, Betty Swallocks said: Do they get many watching them on a regular basis? In a word, no. About 100-130ish. For context, Manor Farm have averaged 285 this season and the Cribbs average is 140ish boosted by a 550ish crowd when they played Farm at home.

petehinton Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Bath secure a play off place despite losing today. Great achievement but the Play-Offs at that level are an absolute minefield to win though, so still a long old way to go yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the Bristol area clubs below National South, and I know I’m biased, they’ve probably got the highest ceiling. Manor Farms ground is better currently but they’re hamstrung by proximity to City and the size of the Creek. Yate you’ve got the growing population, it’s enough outside of Bristol that you don’t lose huge fans to City/Rovers on a whim and it’s got decent space to expand. Could see them NLS with the right plans in 10-20 years and a favourable wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted April 20 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 20 I can remember the days when Weston getting more than 250 at a game was a big thing Never thought I would see the day with an average over 1000. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still play at the Munday playing fields ? Not surprised to hear Worc brought a load down, they outnumbered Mangos earlier in the year.............they truly must be the Gash of the Hellenic ! Yep still at the Mundys. And now have three stands with a total capacity of 300 seating/standing.

transfer reader Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I will also say, trying to remove my inherent bias after watching Manor Farm for 21 years of my 28 so far, I would struggle to see a side other than Frome that I'd consider favourites in a 1 off game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Worthing yesterday, great day out but we were always going to lose this one. Weston are the opposite of City this season, struggle against teams in the top half but will normally beat the lower teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather, local game, City being miles away and Rovers dead rubber may impact but a great attendance and shows the potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
