CAS, I did see those prices, the 0-2 correct would have been difficult to find given the odds.
Theres no need to be looking over your shoulder at the relegation places.February 20, 2025 at 08:24 #1720912Busy weekend, away in Rome.
So early selections.The Austrian Bundasliga 2 returns Friday night.
All the teams have been playing friendlies over the last month.
Floridsdofer AC V KSV19, neither team has much to play for even at the halfway stage of the season.
Draw 5@ 21/10Northampton V The Gas, must win for both teams. Given the history between the two there should be a great atmosphere for the match.
Max Dyche has been playing well and is in the box for set pieces.
Score anytime 5@14
First Goal 1@33Brackley V Southport
I suspect Southport will be looking for a point from this. Hopefully Brackley can get an early goal and this will force Southport to attack, thus allowing Brackley to counter on the break.
Correct score 3-0 3@14s –Sky
(Sorry CAS
)Lowerstoft V Banbury
Banbury still have the meanest defence in the league, and also the least number of goals, Lowestoft have scored 43 and conceded 73.
Correct score 1-2 1.5@7/1Northampton win 11/10, Brackley win 7/10 Banbury win 11/10 treble 5@6.49
Correct score 0.5 PAT (with freds so a different price to the above Brackley 3-0, due to bookies not always covering Southern League Central)
Northampton 4-1 40s
Brackley 3-0 12s
Banbury 1-2 7s.-24
Ongoing -167..
February 21, 2025 at 09:45 #1720970No problem, I think Brackley will win too! Having said that, we might be tough to beat if we play well . Jim is likely to set up with 5 at the back and play for a 0-0.
As you say, an early goal would make a difference. We were poor once Radcliffe got in front early. But we have also ground out plenty of draws made better sides work hard on our travels as well. My prediction is a 1-0 win for Brackley.
The fan forum has been a happier place since the 7 points against Alfreton, Darlington and Farsley. I think we probably have to write off the Brackley game but try to get a win against Curzon Ashton on Tuesday. They have beaten us twice this season but have been struggling for form recently. It is a home game we should be looking to win.
February 21, 2025 at 22:12 #1721020Wow the Friday Austrian draw came in 5@21/10 returns 15.50.
Ongoing -152.50February 21, 2025 at 22:18 #1721021CAS I think Southport, will be looking for the draw and hope for a 0-1 if they get lucky on the break.
I wish I was around for the match as I could give you a unbiased view of the game.. But the lure of Italy and France in the six nations in Rome was too much. As expected..food is awsome.. and wine on a different planet.
Now got to try and find a bar for that England match tomorrow.February 22, 2025 at 14:00 #1721116Haven’t checked this thread for a while but saw the match advertised on the A43 and thought of you guys… hope it goes well.
February 22, 2025 at 14:05 #1721118Landafar- check out the Circus Maximus and, out of town a little way, the Circus of Maxentius, a Roman racecourse in pretty much its original form.
February 22, 2025 at 14:18 #1721124Given the choice between watching Brackley v Southport or going to Italy, I think I would have gone with the lure of Rome as well.
February 22, 2025 at 14:56 #1721129Don’t tell my gf but I backed Wycombe to beat Rovers and at odds against will have a poke on Northampton…

Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
February 22, 2025 at 15:55 #17211441-0 to Brackley at half time. According to a reliable source on the fan forum, they are absolutely battering us.
Land’s prediction of 3-0 might be looking good.
February 22, 2025 at 18:16 #1721168A 1-0 defeat. Based on the fan forum comments, it sounds like Southport had a much better second half. Proctor missed when one on one with the keeper and there was a big penalty shout turned down towards the end.
It sounds like it was an OK performance and no disgrace to lose to a team in the top three. I just hope there is enough time to recover and go again against Curzon Ashton on Tuesday.
The other results mostly went our way. I know they should be OK but with Southport I always prefer it when they are mathematically safe!
Good luck to Brackley. They are still in with a good chance of winning the title and automatic promotion. It is a surprise to see how much Kidderminster have fallen away. Chorley only drawing with Warrington was an unexpected result as well.
February 22, 2025 at 20:07 #1721189Kifill, thanks for the suggestion, it is indeed a very historic place. Last year we stayed near the Coliseum, which is in the same area. Absolute fantastic to see, so many old historic places.
I think the bends would be a bit tight for a race these days..but a stunning place.February 22, 2025 at 20:12 #1721190Nathan, I dont know where Cobbs pulled that win from..
But Ill keep it a secret from your Mrs..
Only 8 points of the top half finish, 14 games to go, but need promotion form to make it..February 22, 2025 at 20:18 #1721191CAS, my friends and I could not find a place in the Irish bars to watch the rugby just a beer and back to the hotel,they were bloody heaving, from 2 hours before kick off. So missed the games on TV, not a problem. Was great to see so many fans from All the six nations teams in these places, drinking and no trouble anywhere.
As for the Brackley Southport match, from what I heard on the second half commentary, a draw would have been a fair result.
Best of luck for the rest of the season
February 22, 2025 at 20:29 #1721192Results,
