The problem at this level is people don't actually know what they are wishing for when they romanticise about the past. I doubt Harry at Rammy and co have actually looked at a Counties league table for years or have a clue how they'd get supporters and sponsorship in for a game against Avro or Rylands (picking 2 teams who came from Cheshire League).

Yep watched prestwich heys quite a bit chairman was a really good bloke and desperate to push them on. Was going round bars, shops and businesses getting nowhere, they couldn't even get the shirts sponsored. They were great down there as well really proactive board but struggling to get outside sponsorship in north west counties.

Harry seems to periodically fall out with sponsors. I'll say this is allegedly because I've heard it from the sponsor and not Harry's side of events but they sponsored a stand on something like a 3 year contract, they arrived for a match to find that the stand had been renamed after an ex player or board member. They weren't impressed and go watching Lancaster now after being home and awayers for a few years at rammy. I organised a day out in the sponsors lounge with a few mates couple of years back only to be told few days before it was cancelled, that was due to the manager at the time but it gives you an idea of how amateur it is down there. It's a shame because there's some really good people who go watching them and the ground is brilliant. With a bit if effort theyve got a good catchment area and could do well but I think harry is reluctant to give others control besides the ex manager (which was a massive misjudgment of character he pissed off a lot of fans). If I compare Rammy to team I watch since I've moved and it's like comparing chorley to a prem club, yet rammy are higher up. It's a great day out Rammy though, cricket club bar is nice and steam train on the beer is a great way to get there.

aye, great set down there, been down many times

You just know there's going to be mither, we should have made it 12.00 KO to avoid it but no-one listens, we're going to have a load of pissed up  kids giving it billy big balls

FC United were well behaved last season at Colls, i think the new kids on the block will be different.

Are marine still going?

Remember one of my rare vists to stainton park, they turned up about 250 of em

Borough were getting 50

Yes, Marine are still alive and kicking in the Northern Premier League northern Division ( one below Colls), funnily enough they have just announced pre season friendlies against Salford and FC United

Sending Marine a new set of kit for Mc Ateer and 15 grand was a good deal.
