League Line-Up 2019/20

[AwayDayYeltz]

I can't believe Ilkeston are still going. They have gone bust more times than we've made a Friday signing this season.

Now predicted to stay back in Southern League following yesterdays matches. Seems to hinge on whether Ilkeston or Walsall Wood win Midland Football League. They are level on points but Ilkeston now have a better goal difference as they won 7-0 yesterday.

What a great finish in that division. Before Saturday Ilkeston were 3 points clear of Walsall Wood and a better goal difference. Walsall went to Ilkeston and won 0-4 and went top on goal difference in front of over 1500 fans! On Monday Walsall won 1-0 and Ilkeston went back top on goal difference by winning 0-7. Walsall are now 4 goals behind. In the final round of games on Saturday Walsall host the bottom side and Ilkeston go to 3rd bottom. Both are conceding goals for fun. Look out for a couple of cricket scores to see who wins the title!

And Ilkeston hit the cricket score, winning 1-8. They take the title on goal difference thanks to hitting FIFTEEN in the last 2 games. Incredible!

Of course both may be all wrong, but we'd struggle to be moved north (my preference) as that would involve a lot of teams being shifted as well.

I'm going for 17th May 2019 when the FA release their line ups for next year, watch this space. Or that space.

Enthralling!

Can I put in requests to have away matches against Histon, Cambridge , Bedford, St Neots and possibly Corby as midweek matches? Particulalry Histon and Camridge City. I am working in Histon for the next few months and staying within walking distance of the Histon ground.

Would be even better if we had a proper badge by then

Why's your preference for north, HH?

I'm looking at this from the perspective of getting promoted at the first time of asking (which won't be an easy task at all- I know that) and so I think the Southern line-up appears weaker?

I am not sure there will be much difference in the two. Most people on here reckoned the Southern League was weaker last season but that clearly did us no favours.

Anyway, I hope the management team get savvy with the other teams quickly, as often some seemingly random side comes through with a very poor fan base but ambitions off the pitch - Peterborough Sports last season.

Also, a slow start will be hard to overcome, as there are only 38 games to play with.

Apparently Evesham may not be keen on moving Central so may appeal.

Walking distance to you could mean anywere inbetween 'just down the road' to 40 miles away!
