SOUTHPORT IN THE FA CUP SECOND QUALIFYING ROUND

This afternoon’s game is our 123rd in the FA Cup as a Non League side. We have had 52 home draws and 48 away from home with 22 replays.

That dreadful afternoon in Bootle is one to forget but we all remember it but we have had some good ones along the way which you usually recall when you know what they lead to. None more so than last season when a routine away win at Farsley in front of just 306 supporters half of who were from Southport lead to games at Curzon Ashton, home to Ashton United, a giant killing home win against Boreham Wood in Round One then the never to be forgotten 1-1 draw at Tranmere leading to that record breaking home crowd in the replay and 90 minutes away from a dream tie against Tottenham Hotspur. It was not to be, but we will never forget it.

AROUND & ABOUT

Our win against Blyth last Saturday saw the 19th player we have used this season make his debut and in doing so Charlie Albinson became the 71st goalkeeper we have used in NL Football. He also broke Dan Hanford’s run of 52 consecutive game between the sticks.

Zehn Mohammed became our 393rd different NL Other FA Cup ties involving scorer with his first goal for the club. National North sides today On the other side Blyth’s defeat ensured they set an unwanted record with their worst ever start to Chester v Altrincham the season. Curzon Ashton v Blyth Spartans I’ve talked previously about a surprise package and Farsley are quickly taking over that mantle after Bradford (Park Avenue) v Morpeth Town another great win, this time 3-0 at Leamington. Having beaten them so comprehensively just a few Irlam v York City games ago it’s fair to say I didn’t expect to see them Trafford v Darlington in the Play Off area. The strange and inconsistent scores continue Gateshead v Ramsbottom United making it a very interesting season all round. Guiseley v Stockton Town The lowest gate of the season was recorded at Curzon with just 204 against Brackley. Telford 2085 Lancaster City v Spennymoor Town against Chester and Darlington 2023 against York recorded their highest gates so far. Runcorn Town v Farsley Celtic They say there are gems to be found in the lower Alfreton Town v King’s Lynn Town leagues and Aaron Martin of Guiseley is proving the case after his move from Brighouse and he now Stamford v Boston United leads the scoring charts. In our sister league Vanarama South, Wealdstone Kettering Town v Sutton Coldfield Town are flying having won 10 out of their 11 games and AFC Telford United v Nantwich Town are setting a very strong pace. Lower down the pyramid, Whitby Town lead the Kidderminster Harriers v Stafford Rangers way in NPL Premier but it is very close with Basford Kidlington v Gloucester City United, Hyde United, Warrington and Matlock all within striking distance. Hereford v Truro City Scarborough were 2-0 up at Nantwich last Saturday before going down 3-2. Leamington v Chasetown Former players in the goals were Tony Gray for Warrington and Craig Westcarr for Grantham.
