Must admit Leeds are one of the best followed sides in the UK .. just proves the fans must have the faith of a saint and the optimism of Pattaya bar girl in low season HAVING SUFFERED SO MANY MANY MANY YEARS in the footballing wilderness n lower Leagues AND still they turn up in their tens n hundreds ... Yorkshires finest Sykaiyertrists are now even forming the opinion that this behaviour could be a of group therapy maybe sharing the depression together . I will check out the away end at the City Ground today .. its one of the smaller away ends with a capacity of aprrox 107 depending on the Leeds fans rotundness.

Indeed .. MoT ... M O D T ..Marching on Depressed Together ????? .

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR LOCAL MUCH LOVED TEAMS TODAY ...

UP THE IRON .. Scuuny fans already inbedded at Plymouth for todays clash , several hundred arrived a day early to enjoy the tropical weather as it was snowing in Scunthorpe !!

Nottingham Forest 0 2 Leeds United
Plymouth Argyle 0 4 Scunthorpe United
Cheltenham Town 3 4 Exeter City
Colchester United 5 1 Forest Green Rovers
Port Vale 0 1 Crewe Alexandra
Great results for the Championship & League one followers, not anything like so good for League 2 though!!
Looks like Town are going to have to rely on 2 worse teams in the league, again, in order to survive.. Even more unfortunate is that, currently, Forest Green & Vale are looking like 2 of those candidates!!!

How to go from being top of the best league in the world to "laughing stock" in 24 hours :lol:

GREEN MEDICAL AT TERRIERS

More on this story now because we understand ex-England goalkeeper Rob Green is now having a medical at Huddersfield ahead of a proposed move from Leeds.

David Wagner, speaking after Saturday's draw with Southampton, confirmed Town have agreed personal terms with the player and are hoping to sign him on a one-year deal.

“We would like to sign Rob Green. We have agreed personal terms and we have also spoken to Leeds. If he passes a medical, which he will hopefully do today, hopefully we can announce this signing in the next 24 hours.”

Certainly a mixed bag of results this weekend.....
Leeds fans maybe already dreaming of the "promised land"........Scunthorpe could make it back to the Championship this time around BUT IN LEAGUE 2 Cheltenham,Forest Green and Port Vale battling it out for which two will have the honour of playing Macclesfield next season ! :yikes:

Got to agreed ADhoc ... DM watched the game and Leeds were very very good , they do look like a side that can finally get back in the big time and im sure they will be up there come the end of the season, again the little Aliosti whatever his name stood out but to be honest the whole team were impressive .

Leeds may also have won the lottery it Rob the fumbler Green signs for Huddersfield ... IMO they need to get shot ov him sharpish n the Terriers manager wants his bumps feeling if hie thinks Green is EPL quality .

A fantastic 4-0 away win for the Iron at Plymouth .. nothing to add except it all got to embarassing when Scunny Goalkeeper set up a picnic table in his six yard box and had a manicure n pedicure then enjoyed an afternoon tea SUCH WAS THE AWAY SIDES DOMINANCE, after the game he quoted ... the Earl Grey , scones n clotted cream really hit the spot and thankyou to Sharron for doing my nails they were in a terrible state .

UP THE IRON ... SCUNNY REMAIN UNBEATEN THIS SEASON .. YOU to could become a scunny fan its easy and you know it makes sense .

Valiant must be on anti depressants after his beloved Port Vales recent history ..fear not they will come good ...at some point .

A very poor start for us, 3 more Live matches here in the UK then supporting from Afar, Vale till I die. Zidane I bet you a pint/coffee whatever your choice we will not go down. The Manager will receive his P45 first. I hope he turns it round PVFC

Nah,I don't think you will go down valiant but I wouldn't be surprised if one out of Cheltenham or Forest Green did.
A big surprise is that Crewe are doing so well.Macc beat them 3-0 in a pre-season friendly and Crewe were awful,apparently.

A great performance by Leeds last night but still coming round after staying up for the match. The wife wasn't best pleased as she thought I had sneaked my mia noi in when she heard my squeals of delight.

Last time I was this positive about Leeds, Messrs Woodgate and Bowyer decided to derail Leeds by beating someone up outside a kebab shop. What could go wrong this time??

Hard to believe its August Bank Holiday back in the UK.There used to be a full programme of fixtures and bumper crowds but now its just the Conference which includes the Cheshire derby between Chester and Macclesfield,so there should be a decent crowd for that one.
Never mind,tomorrow theres a whole raft of EFL Trophy matches which includes Scunthorpe v Sunderland U21's,Oldham v Port Vale and Forest Green v Newport. :badteeth:

Yesterdays Cheshire derby resulted in a convincing 2-0 victory for visitors Macclesfield over near rivals Chester. \:D/
After a dodgy 3 match spell,2 victories have propelled the Silkmen into 11th spot with the same number of points as the team in 5th which is a play off place........only 2 points behind second placed teams Dagenham & Redbridge and Leyton Orient as well.

Maybe our respected football experts and non league gurus can answer this and save me googling and getting an unintelligible answer ......

I was looking at the National League (Conference) table on the BBC website and noticed that, as always, the top team appears to be promoted and the next 4 play off. However, the 6th and 7th teams also seem to be divided off to suggest that they are playing off for something.

To compound my confusion, I looked at National League North and I see that, here, the top 7 are divided off and the leaders don't seem to be automatically promoted - my 2nd team (OK, 4th after Leeds reserves and UDFC), Harrogate, are top here so that is a bit of a downer.

It is a new thing this season, apparently, & one that I had not read about before...(so thanks PM)..

From Wiki (which I always find useful in explaining things like this...
In 2004, a restructuring of the National League System saw the creation of a new level immediately below the National League; two regional divisions now named National League North and National League South were created, with the feeder leagues dropping below them. There are two promotion places to the National League's top division from each regional division – the champions are promoted automatically, while the remaining place is again decided by semi final play-offs and a Promotion Final. The four teams relegated from the National League (i.e. the highest division) are then allocated to one or other of the regional divisions dependent on their geographical location.

In May 2017, the National League proposed a revamp in the play-offs for all three divisions. Under the new system, the number of teams playing for promotion was increased to six. The clubs finishing second and third automatically proceed to a semi-final at their home ground, while the clubs in fourth and fifth stage respective qualifying round ties against the teams finishing seventh and sixth. The winners of those matches then complete the semi-final line up.[3] These proposals were approved at the National League's annual general meeting on 10 June.
