I sometimes nip up to York City when there's a free Saturday, it's relatively local and we have no history of animosity with them. Just a nice friendly club with no pretensions.

I saw them beat Stevenage 2-1 last season, stood on the all terraced kop. It was by far the coldest match I've ever attended, painful in fact. I did manage to get my photo taken with Yorkie The Lion though.

I hope they bounce back soon.
 
Was part of my 7 years without missing a game home or away so did the lot in div 4 .
Aldershot walking through the park.
Hereford mid week night game away .. Snowing and freezing.
Chester blades battling at 3 down got back to 3-2.
Halifax wall falling down in 5-1 win.
Stockport lost and crap.
Torquay top weekend away.
Tranmere scraps and York fun.
Wrexham dodgy and home fans stood in front of us sitting behind them.

Lincoln .... Cooper man taking his dog to a preseason or cup game midweek !!

Darlington .... Needs its own thread !!


Ah the memories.. happy days
 
Macclesfield seems firmly rooted back in non-league I would have thought they may have bounced back by now. Same goes for Tranmere as I assumed a club of their size should have got back by now.

I worked in York in the early 1980's. Used to sometimes go and watch York with a mate from work who had a flat on Bootham Crescent. First time I went I was gobsmacked that at half time you could get a 'pass out' of the ground and we'd go back to his flat put the kettle on, watch half time scores on television and then go back in the ground for the second half.

Have to admit i also have a soft spot for the MinsterMen. Like to see them do well but they have a touch of the Blades about them (not this season though!) and they often make a right cock up of things and lose out. Nice little old fashioned ground and no delusions of grandeur about them. To finish off they are of course a Yorkshire team (no shit sherlock i hear you squawk) and the town centre is a nice place for a good piss up especially down near the river at the Sam Smiths (Kings Head?) which is dirt cheap and at the Maltings ale house. Tis a good day out watching the Yorkie bars if the Wizards are not in action.
 
I've been to a dozen of those with us, and loved every one.

Beating Chesterfield six nil, a hat trick each from Deane and Agana.

Yorks a great city all round. I had my stag weekend there, which turned out to be much more enjoyable that my actual marriage!
Plus I went up there with a couple of mates to get away from Sheffield on the day the Pigs were playing in the play-off final. So I've got fond memories of that day too.

Whilst i too have a real like for York and go up there often with the lads, or the missus for a weekend away from my young Weasels, i have to say you really should have stayed in Sheffield on that glorious May day when Carlos the Jackass and his team got royally mauled by those majestic tigers. Went down Eccie Road and tried watching the first half in some packed student pub who had loads of young bints shouting 'cmon wensdei' before they started jabbering on about xfactor or shoppin at meadowhall. At half time me and the lads could take no more and we made a bolt for the Nursery Tavern where sanity prevailed. It was packed with proper geezers and hardly a wine glass in sight. 90pc of the clientele were clearly Blades fans and the place went mad when Hull scored. I particularly enjoyed baiting a couple of pigs by shouting 'cmon on hull' in their ears and laffin really loudly in front of the sorry arsed porkers when they lost. I try to conduct myself with more decorum these days but i couldnt help myself as i was beside myself with glee. Annies Song on repeat being belted out in the music box at full time was the icing on the cake. Top celebratory drinking session that day....

Bloody predictive Texting ...

.....or maybe a premonition?

Lets hope so. Didnt the game v Chester finish 6 - 1? If so i will happily take that at the land of the spireshites with us being 6 nil up til the last minute and then i will graciously accept Ched scoring a consolation for them.

What about Boston Utd & Workington ?

Well said, that man!

However, Workington managed to get relegated before there was any relegation - they got voted out (strictly, failed to be re-elected) by the other league clubs.

Didn't Boston just go bust?

We can also add Newport County to that list and didn't we end up with half of their team? Williams/Carr/Powell?

Not a happy hunting ground for the Blades either. Seem to recall Tommy Tynan regularly scoring against us and didn't Aldridge do the same while he was there?
 
Rusdhen and Diamonds in the FA cup. Replay at their place. Lovely little ground. We were shite, drew 1-1 and it went to penalties and we won. Next day, I saw Marcus Bent in the barber's boasting about how he'd scored the winning penalty neglecting to mention that he had been absolute dogshit that night.

Tranmere away in 1999. 2-0 down and came back to win 3-2 with Lee Morris scoring 2 and big Tri Dellas netting a last minute winner. One of the guys with us fell over about 5 rows of seats in the celebration and broke his arm I think,

No they didn't. Still on the go at York St.
 
Billy played on loan from us at Rushden & Diamonds in 2005 played 16 scored 9, my dad used to go to most home games and watched him. (my dad was up at weekend so had the pleasure of seeing our 6-0 cup win) Had a great day out with family watching them away at Elland Road in a cup match. The clubs gone now - phoenix club AFC Rushden & Diamonds formed by supporters play out of Wellingborough Town ground. Nene Park old home of Rushden & Diamonds is sitting empty at moment http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-35365804

2:30 Billy Sharp last minute goal in Northants derby Rushden & Diamonds vs Northampton Town

I was at Scarborough v Wolves (Scarborough's first ever football league game), when Warnock was their manager.

It's famous for Wolves smashing the ground up. They got up on the corrugated iron roof of the away stand and jumped up and down on it, wrecking the whole away end. Some bright sparks (Wolves fans) had the idea of climbing onto the home stand (a much higher stand) and doing the same thing, one of them fell straight through it breaking his legs, and obviously landed right in the middle of all the Scarborough fans, who gave him a kicking for his troubles.
