Re: Trust Update
Thanks for the update, just one point of clarity for me - when you say 're-establishing the Trust' does that mean it will be TIY or a new entity?

Re: Management and Coaching
There are arguments for changing the manager but we shouldn't pretend it's without risk. With Liam you know that by hook or crook we will hoof and throw our way to 50 points every season and avoid relegation. I really don't see a Watson team going down because his methods are enough to scrape togeth...

Re: Southport 0-0 Kettering - Match Thread
Could the fanzone be repurposed into a drinks bar on matchday? Even if it's just bottles and soft drinks? It's handily located near the main stand which means it could cater for the seats while the existing stall caters for the terrace? As you get more families in the seats it would do a roaring tra...

Re: Connor Woods
A few months ago I would have been disappointed but I am struggling to summon up much remorse. Connor is a talented lad but he hasn't kicked on. He is no better than he was this time last season, or the season before. His progression has stalled and this feels like a sensible outcome. I do wonder wh...

Re: New signing Joe Adams
Great stuff - how long is he contracted for?
Article doesn't mention this, could be a short term deal to the end of the season or a 'proper' signing until next Summer, can anyone clarify?

Re: News of Former Players - it's back!
Edward Servuts scored a hat trick for Burscough( two penalties) as Burscough lost 5-4 to a goal in the 95th minute. Morgan Homson -Smith scored twice for Longridge in their 4-2 win Sandbach Utd maintained their playoff push - the connection to Southport is Derek Goulding who is the assistant manage...

Re: News of Former Players - it's back!
Former centre back Matthew Flynn (played under Alan Wright I think) played in Kendal's 2-2 draw against Litherland REMYCA today.
Decent game. Litherland blew a 2-0 lead and in true scouse fashion lost their rag and had a man sent off for kicking out.

Re: Southport 2-1 Blyth Spartans
That was the second lowest home league attendance in 30 years. On only one occasion has it dropped lower (deluge against Vauxhall in 08/09 that should never have been played) since promotion from the NPL in 1992/23. I didn't attend and don't see me back at Haig Ave until some material changes have t...

Re: Q&A with Ian and Liam
The original attraction of artificial pitches was they replaced grass that would turn into mud during the winter months. Playing on mud is an even worse spectacle than plastic. It's also not very safe and leads to injury. But as pitches have got better and better, most lower league surfaces even in ...

Re: Q&A with Ian and Liam
If you look at where we have finished under Liam, which is 14th, 12th and 11th - he has surpassed where the budget dictates we 'should be' every time. I can whinge for Britain about certain aspects of the style, tactics, squad management, but the bottom line is he has got a relegation budget into mi...

Re: Q&A with Ian and Liam

Re: Gloucester backer resigning
They have been a touch unlucky in that the season that was expunged due to Covid, they were top of the league and flying. Then never managed to repeat it.
The appointment of Steve King who is the archetypal chequebook manager now looks.... amusing.

Re: Q&A with Ian and Liam
I am getting ahead of myself and let's let the new/revived Trust take shape first, but I can already see the argument coming down the line. It is the same one that plagued the old Trust. There was/is a difference of opinion about whether the supporters' trust should act as a fundraising vehicle for ...

Re: Q&A with Ian and Liam
Maybe instead of the moaning, some on here could ask themselves what they can do to help the club in this moment of need. Who is moaning? I only see clear eyed responses to the club stating there is no desire to be promoted. We all go to football for different reasons, for some it's just a blessed ...

Re: Q&A with Ian and Liam
Firsrly, thanks to Rob, Ian and Liam for taking the time. Any of these Q&As are beneficial and the more information imparted the better. I found the whole thing to be a depressing dose of sombre realism. I knew the financials weren't pretty but to hear them laid out in those terms drives home ho...

Re: Southport 0-1 Hereford - Match Thread
The 'there is no one else to take over' theory doesn't wash because unless you have a time machine on that farm, there is simply no way of knowing what interest there is until offers are invited. People said the same thing when Clapham was in charge, then as soon as he indicated he was exiting stage...

Re: Southport 0-1 Hereford - Match Thread
The interview sums it up well. Neil Turner was really pressing to see if there was room for anyone to come in, Liam made it very clear the finances dictate absolutely not. That is despite shifting our number one keeper off the wage bill and not being able to fill a bench with fit players. The situat...

Jonny - how many posts saying the same thing do you want to waste our time with?
We all know how you feel and most people agree we are up shit creek in a number of ways.
Go and have a timeout and a juicebox or you'll only end up banned before MOTD comes on.

Re: Southport 0-1 Hereford - Match Thread
I can't get worked up about Watson because we are 16th, and if you ordered the league from 1st - 24th by budget then he is bettering expectations. We have the smallest squad in the league, with very few senior pros, a goalkeeper who will be on peanuts and several young players on next to nothing. Pe...
