[Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2023/24 Edition

I’ll be sorry to see Sue leave, an absolutely PTFC legend who has worked so hard for the club over so many years.

A sad day for Haven.

Difficult to replace people like that. They give a huge amount of their time, usually for little thanks.

Come and see Gary Dicker bring his young guns to the Birchwood (Shooting Field). Get your tickets in advance here. Up the Albion (although for this night it's going to be Up the Barrowmen!).

It's going to be a great night.

And this Saturday the Barrowmen host in-form high-flying Crowborough. It should be a good game .......

Plenty of interest in all these teams on this thread. It could be an interesting season!

George Dowell has a decision to make on FA Cup first-round weekend.

The owner of Worthing is due to become a father on the day the non-league club make a first appearance at this stage of the competition since 1999.

Does he stay behind in Sussex to be at his girlfriend's side when Jessica gives birth to the couple's first child?

Or does he make the 420-mile round trip to Alfreton for Worthing's biggest FA Cup tie for 24 years?

Hmmmm. If that is the choice then there is no decision to be made.

Hmmmm. If that is the choice then there is no decision to be made.

Spoiler alert: he's staying.

"I can't miss the birth," he said. "I've arranged for a live stream so I can watch it on my laptop back in Worthing."

Which clown put Horsham at Barnsley on the Friday?

Which clown put Horsham at Barnsley on the Friday?

South Yorkshire Police. Sheffield United and Doncaster are at home on Saturday and along with others things like it bonfire season they've cited issues with resources.

Thanks

Not sure that makes much sense either given who the other two are playing distance wise, shame for Horsham fans really!

Visited Kingstonian AGAIN last night, to see the Hawks of Whitehawk take on the K's in the FA Trophy, and thanks to some atrocious finishing from Kingstonian, they cruised to 4-0 victory. The second goal coming in the same vein as Elvis Manu's screamer against Crawley in pre season a few years back. The win means they set up a tasty Trophy tie against Lewes at the enclosed ground on the 18th November, international break so I imagine they'll get a decent crowd in for the local derby. Game number 60 for me this season.

Back on the wireless tomorrow after a 14 and half year hiatus , covering Alfreton vs Worthing in the FA Cup for BBC SCR, hopefully the Rebels can make it through to the second round for the first time in 41 years and banking 41 grand in the process

Barnsley have taken the lead against Horsham…
BUT Horsham have equalised! A great goal for those travelling fans.

Horsham have got a penalty!
And they've scored, they are now leading against Barnsley.

 

[Durlston]

Bad day for Sussex clubs in the FA Cup.

- Crawley Town pipped 3-2 at Notts County.
- Worthing crashed to a bitterly disappointing 2-0 defeat at Alfreton Town.

Just got the Horshies to support in their replay with Barnsley in their first round replay. Again, a tremendous result and I hope the tie is on TV.

 

[Krafty]

Horsham will play at home to Barnsley in the FA Cup first round replay on Tuesday 14th November.

The winner of that match will play at Sutton United in the second round between the 1st and 4th of December.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Crowborough came out on top on Saturday in first v second in the SCFL Premier League. A deserved win from a team that looks that. A proper team. Steyning had their moments but the better team won. First defeat for the Barrowmen in the League. Need to bounce back!

 

[MattBackHome]

Rooks v Oslo tonight. Genuinely feels a bit like Xmas morning, I cannot wait.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Horsham will play at home to Barnsley in the FA Cup first round replay on Tuesday 14th November.

The winner of that match will play at Sutton United in the second round between the 1st and 4th of December.

We will are going to see a completely revitalised Barn sley n ext Tuesday evening, previously Horsham were a completely unknown quantity, but now they will know just what to expect..

The only things that could b e in the Hornets favour are the tightness of the ground, the 3G playing surface, and errr . . . the Lardy Boys.

I know the potential of a more winnable 2nd Round tie at Sutton is there, but in reality it's the 1st Round Proper that is the Holy Grail for clubs like Horsham, reaching it, banking some serious money, and enjoying their 90 minutes in the sun.

 

[MattBackHome]

Well deserved 1-0 win for the Rooks in what we can all agree is the biggest European fixture of the week. The overall quality was pretty poor, but the 1100 crowd was bang up for it; proper party vibes on the Philccox. Balti pie was brilliant as well.
