Nathan Tyson, watched him play V Carlton Town when he was at Grantham Town last season and he got out sprinted by a 35 year old centre half who has had surgery on both knees

First game of the season today!

Hucknall Town v Wisbech Town in the United Counties Premier North.

It’s part of a groundhop weekend so I’m expecting a really good crowd.

I’ve not been to the new set-up so looking forward to it.

I’ve already got another non-league game lined up on August 15th. Ilkeston v Gainsborough Trinity (My home town team) in the Northern Premier League.

Wednesday’s loss is all these clubs gain. Price me out of Hillsborough and I’ll lend my support for the real grass roots of the game.

Well I enjoyed that. 1-1 draw. Wisbech took the lead from the penalty spot but Hucknall equalised with about 15 minutes left to play.

688 in attendance, boosted by all the groundhoppers, including folk wearing Maidstone, AFC Wimbledon and even a Forfar Athletic shirt.

When I was a young lad playing in our school first XI, Jesse Pye was manager of Wisbech and came over to check us out, see if there were any diamonds in the rough he could use. He played for Wolves and scored a couple of goals when they won the Cup in 1949.

A bit of rare excitement in my local town centre yesterday. Scunthorpe were visiting Tamworth. Didn't even know they were in the same league.

A few dozen green street wannabee nobheads on each side doing more damage to local shops than each other.

When I was young, Scunthorpe were actually the nearest team to where I grew up.

The Old Showground was the second league ground I ever visited, and I was Glanford Park when it opened for the first time.

I can remember them beating Wednesday at Hillsborough in the Championship and both the FA Cup.

Yes-Scunny have been a thorn in the side for Forest in the past.

When I was going round doing the '92' I stopped in the car park of a Sainsbury's to ask the way to Glanford Park and was told that I was at the site of the Old Showground!

I hate Scunthorpe

I'll never forget when they beat us 4-0 live on national TV at home, Billy Sharp & Andy Keogh ran us ragged that day.

Could be worse.

We lost 3-0 at home to Burton Albion in the championship once!

So far this season I have resisted the impulse to let you all know of the progress of the Linnets.

After falling in the playoffs last season, they have fallen even further down the pecking order in National North, now down to 21st in the table after losing 1-4 at home to Southport today.

My bulletins might be even more sparse as the season goes on if they keep this up.

It’s early days yet,VP-keep your chin up.

Scunthorpe 1-2 Buxton. Abandoned in the 95th minute due to a torrential downpour. Game has now been ordered to be replayed in full. To make matters worse for Buxton, the red card they received just before half time stands and the player will miss their game on Saturday.

Nonsense really isn't it?

Just award Buxton the win rather than making the away club and it's can go through all the rigamarole again when neither can really afford to.

But, if you're going to force them to replay the match then any cards should be voided just like the f***ing goals were.

I saw a vlog from the match and can see why it was called off. Talk about a flash flood. Apparently 5 mins injury time were left. Perhaps should have made the call earlier, it was an injury waiting to happen.

I’ve got a few more non-league games lined up…

Basford v Ilkeston this Saturday, Hucknall v Ashby Ivanhoe next Wednesday and Ilkeston v Macclesfield the following Tuesday.

Also hoping to pop down to Carlton Town in October.

Along with going to watch some games at County, I’m loving it to be honest.

I said I would never go back to Hillsborough whilst Chansiri owns the club and quite frankly I don’t miss it.

Macclesfield, another phoenix club smashing the early low leagues. Those 3000+ crowds will soon drop once they start losing a few.

Not the best of games at Basford v Ilkeston but a vital three points for the visitors.

Basford pushed towards the end and could have snatched a point with the very last action of the game.

Corner whipped in and the keeper who’d come up headed just wide!
