Welcome to the BlueSq Your Say - Feel free to air your opinions and views on all things relating to the Blue Square Premier, North and South.
is this league difficult to get out of? We need to be back in the league? Whats the football like? What crowds do you get?
geographically worcester and reddich should be moved over to the south with the four relegated clubs into the north. trouble with that would be a potentially uneven balance between the north/south. so maybe stafford into the south and worcester moved over from the north?
exeter exile ,dont you mean 3000 exeter fans and 27000 plastics who wont be back no matter the result on the 19th of may
Oh, here we go. All the so called city fans coming out of the woodwork now theres a trip to Wembley, eh?! Enjoy the day, then go back to supporting your premier side! Nah, just kidding, City played better and thats that! End of the day, Devon is well represented at the home of English football. Up yours Argyle!! Come On United!!!
The four teams relegated from the Premier are all Northern teams. Assuming Stafford could go to the South, what will happen with putting one of the other teams into the South? Altrincham are the furthest south of the other relegated teams (?) Or will a south-ish Northern team take a sideways step?
I just read on the Crawley Town FC forum that Simon Wormull has left Lewes Fc. See Below: "I just bumped into Simon Wormull in Crawley town centre. We had a brief chat. He is a free agent now as he is out of contract at Lewes. He has left them. Would be good to get him back at Crawley, he is a very good player, and would definitly cut it in the conference." He would be a steal for any club in the BSP, he can definitly play at a higher level. I know whenever i have seen him play he ran the show.
So the South play off has now been moved back to Stevenage at 2 days notice, what a joke
Please Please Please Move the game to somewhere closer for both teams. Try and get out of work by 3.30 at the earliest, travel passed Manchester during the rush hour as part of a 3/3 and a half hour journey for a 7.30 kick off. Leave ground at say 10.30 (Presentation, extra time, pens possibly) and another 3 and a half hours back to Barrow for 1.30 only to have to get up for 3am to help people in one of Cumbria's largest charity events - The Keswick to Barrow walk. Please you moved the southern final - move ours to Morecambe or the like and help both sets of supporters create a great atmosphere.
Got to agree with the previous messages. BSN please encourage an outbreak of common sense. You've seen the level of support Barrow can give. This can only be discouraged by two things, putting the game on TV (granted thats past the point of no return), and hosting the game 200 miles away. (Which you can still avoid.) Come on, as Dell Boy would say "You know it makes sense" Na na na na na na Steve McNulty.
GET IN!!! Gulf Gull where are you? Exeter completely outplayed you over both games. Now for our second chance at Wembley on the 18th. Another 30,000 Exeter fans there i'm sure.
Right, now it's all settled and it's us (Barrow) against Stalybridge lets see sense Mr. Blue Square North and... GET THE FINAL MOVED UP NORTH! If you want a good enough reason why the clue is in the league title!
Move the BSN Playoff final back to the north like the BSS final has been. Morecambe is halfway between both clubs. You'll have more fans in attendance and you'll make more money out of it!
With Barrow playing Stalybridge in the final would,nt it make sence to move the final closer to both clubs ?
It's grossly unfair to barrow that the BSN play off final is being held at Burton Albion on a Friday evening. Because of the hugh difference in time and cost between travelling from Barrow and Stalybridge Celtic, Barrow have been placed at a disadvantage. Would you please consider moving this game to a venue that is fairer to both sides, one north of Manchester.
Show some common sense please and move the play-off final, now it's Barrow- Stalybridge. You'll get a much bigger crowd at Morecambe or Preston, which is an hour and a half or so on a Friday night rather than 3 and a half! It's already been done in the South.
sorry newbuckshead i wont be attending,were already promoted.im not a barrow supporter!
we are used to uncovered stands at home let alone away games we don't care about cover. If we had played Telford at home on wednesday we would still have taked 500 fans if not more. you are a small club trying to be big. we are the real deal . wembley 19990 22000 say no more. Just ask leek.
a wednesday night was a little hard 4 sum fans too attend.yes ur true we could of took more.but we never.dnt matter really if one fan turned up.thats football and miweek games.midweek games are always down in attendances.and im sure YOU WILL SHOW US ON SUNDAY HOW AWAY FANS ARE LIKE.JUST BRING A BROLLY CAUSE IT MIGHT RAIN ON THE EAST STAND.BRING IT ON!!
excellent reply, havin 5+thousand fans should make the the game on sunday buzzing, but the point i tryed to get through which obviouslsy was missed is that i had to listern all season to comments about automatic promotion for the bucks!im sure every supporter and team in every league are pationate and proud and give more than A DAM GOOD TRY,but barrow will progress if you dont stop them scoring.is telford strong enough at the back??
If Telford have such great fans, where were they on wednesday. The number of fans that came to watch that game was a joke. We will show you what away fans are like on Sunday. We have sold all our tickets and could of sold twice as many.
wot u on about cookie? we in playoffs and even thou we 2 nil down from the 1st leg we got 2nd leg too play.yes we have great ground and great fans and pretty good team.hoping too have over 5 thousand fans on sunday at home.well that aint bad is it? dnt be jelous its only cuz the people of telford are proud of the things we got.we cant have it all but WE WILL GIVE IT A DAM GOOD TRY
well well !! is nice to see that the bucks didnt make it after all, after what they claimed the best team, ground, and supporters they need to look forward to another easy campain in the north next year!
makster, north or south , no preference for me, we are going to be a force now we have the right men in charge. how mental did we go when the news came that we will survive ! just hope all those extra that came for the last game will come next year. already looking forward to pre-season mate !
yellowbellydave i have heard us pilgrims are going into the blue square south as most all the teams that have been relegated out of B.S.P are all northern clubs. I hope we dont cause look at worcester & redditch and there is 1 or 2 more further south than we are But we are more central for all those southern clubs so we will have to wait and see.Wasnt it good news that our chairman said just before the game that we will have a team next season to cheer on, long may they reign be as owners of the club.

@Stag4eva. This league is a very hard league to get out of .We have been here for a few seasons now but we always knew it was going to a LONG hard road back to the league. The league produces in different football where most teams can beat each other on their day. Constancy is largely in short supply as the players are conference players for a reason. I would suggest you get any thoughts of planning a promotion party in your 1st season in the blue square as you will more than likely take a while to find your feet in this league. To be fair the refereeing standards has shown a little improvement but we still the odd complete buffoon with a whistle. Crowd levels are between 4000 for the top ex league clubs that are playing well to 600 or so to the struggling part timers. Good luck for next season. How is the John Bachelor take over attempt progressing. YOU MUST AT ALL COSTS REFUSE ANY OFFER HE MAKES. HE WILL ASSET STRIP MANSFIELD TOEN JUST LIKE HE DID TO MY CLUB YORK CITY. HE LEFT US ON OUR KNEES AT 10 MINS FROM CLOSURE.
