Stalybridge got postponed, so they remain on the Celtics to visit list with Farsley. Went Macclesfield who won 2-0. They now have Tranmere in the semi-final. Can't seem to upload phoaties. Could never go to a club that is an extension of the bgiot brothers I'm afraid. 10 hours ago, Rab B Nesbit said: Went to Dunfermline 1 Queen of The South 1 last night. Far from s classic.

They are nothing to do with either of them. It's Scottish self flattery that allows that perception. It's been established a thousand times over, no-one in England cares or wants anything to with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed the English don't want the bigot brothers to join their league set up but that doesn't mean that numerous decades ago there wasn't an Old Firm influence on local sides, especially given the number of Glaswegian and Irish workers in the industrial cities. Despite playing in blue Staleybridge were apparently named to attract 'Scottish' supporters to games, Stockport fans sing a version of The Sash and despite knowing nothing about West Allotment it's surely more than coincidence they are called Celtic and play in green and white hoops. Anyway, I didn't mean to start a debate about this. It was really just a throwaway line. Enjoy the City game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs called Rangers or Celtic outwith Scotland might share origins, but the baggage has long gone. City game wasn't very good. Atfc might share his thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it was awful, Stoke sat-in and played for a point, Man City were far too predictable in their attacks. Pep Guardiola teams usually move the ball much quicker going forward, but Man City's players wanted 3/4 or 5 touches just getting the ball under control. I am neutral and it was doing my head in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City showed virtually no urgency, except for the last 5 minutes. I was going to leave at half time, it was that bad. The first half City held the ball, which suited Stoke because they didn't want it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Booked some cheap train tickets to London there and want to see a game but think I'll be cutting it fine for catching the train back up the road. Which (preferably non Premier League) clubs could you definately get to Euston Station by 18:15 on a Saturday from (about 1.5 hrs). In a normal place I wouldn't even ask but I know London can be a cahnt to get from a to b in . (My preference of venue is Millwall).

Should take about 30mins from south bermondsey tube sation to euston,change at london bridge.i was back in my hotel at 1730 just beside kings cross last november but i left 5 mins before the end of the match You can walk to Arsenal in about 30mins from euston,basically they are all "do able" but at the prem teams there will be queues at the tube so thats your hindrance,if you know where your going ive always found walking to the next tube station is faster than queueing Edited March 9, 2017 by doulikefish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone recommend any of them? All good clubs worth a visit. Gala is a great set up and trip on the train.
