Cracker, if the hat just has South on it, multi use for Southport also ?. Fair play to you for supporting a local team. In your shoes, Id be tempted to pop over to the IOM away match. Its great that IOM, Jersey are playing in the Non League structure, its a nice away holiday for the small football fans. Cant wait for the Scilly Isles to make their move up the league.
As an aside, I was thinking about Brackley Town back in the early 70’s and the Whippet racing on Sunday mornings along the side of the pitch. There were some amazing characters about, the dogs were typically out on Mondays with their owners. Having a slurp of beer at the Dominoes matches..I would have loved to have seen the whippet racing.
I know a few people who have been over for the Isle of Man match. Unfortunately it is later this month and a trip to the island in January doesn’t appeal much. I think they livestream all their matches online, so I will probably watch that instead.
I saw the home fixture back in September, which South won 3-1.
There were 205 in attendance on Saturday. South’s largest home crowd of the season, boosted by a large Wythenshawe contingent and the fact that Liverpool and Everton were not playing. It was quite a good turnout, considering it was b****y freezing!
South Liverpool are still in the FA Vase and Southport are still in the FA Trophy, so the Wembley dream is still alive.
Southport away to Eastleigh, give them a rough old match, Brackley play there on Tuesday in the NL.
Cobbs without a game so looking at the FA Trophy where Brackley travel to Walton and Hersham (anything to do with Sham 69’s Hersham boys).
Walton and Hersham are top of the Southern League Premier South after 23 matches having won 19 drawn 3 and lost 1.
With Brackley having a NL fixture on the Tuesday, Id expect the main focus will be on the league match, so possibly will play a weakened side. Home win at 15/8 looks decent, despite the gap between the leagues.

The other night was watching Alan Carrs quiz show and Cobbs were mentioned. His dear father is a Cobblers legend with the stadium bar named after him. He played 27 times in our only season in the old Division one, and managed the team to win Division 4 in 86/87. Not sure if Alan is going to Sixfields to show off his traitors’ silverware.
I noticed Tony Field died yesterday. He was a little bit “before my time” but he made 130 appearances for Southport in the late 60s and early 70s, back in our football league days.
He went on to play for Blackburn Rovers and then moved to America, where he played in the same New York Cosmos team as Pele. Not bad for a lad from Halifax via Southport!
He ended his career at the New England Tea Men, which must be the best ever name for a football club.
We also lost Terry Yorath and Martin Chivers this week. RIP to them all.
I will settle for an honourable defeat at Eastleigh tomorrow, assuming it is on. Our priority has to be survival in NLN.
After Eastleigh there are away journeys to Bedford on the 17th and then South Shields on the 20th, with King’s Lynn on the 31st in the near future.
Nice of the fixtures committee to give us three of our longest away journeys in the dark, cold days of January but a lot of more local away matches in the spring.
Eastleigh v Southport called off at about 1.30pm, after Southport’s team and lots of supporters have already travelled. Nice of Eastleigh to make an early decision and to advise everyone the game was in doubt.
The knock on effect of this CAS, is Brackleys match with Eastleigh on Tuesday is now postponed as the FA Trophy fixture with Southport takes priority.
Yea, its bloody ****, no respect for the folks that travel to matches.From the last posts.

Southport has issued a strongly worded statement expressing its disappointment at the late decision. Eastleigh claims it was playable yesterday but temperatures got down lower than forecast overnight.
It sounds to me that Eastleigh was overconfident yesterday announcing the game was on and have communicated poorly today when it must have been clear quite early that there was a problem.
Based on some comments on Port Chat, even some home supporters were turning up at 2.15pm unaware the game had been called off. And the Southport supporters that had made it to the ground were refused entry to the bar, despite it being open!
CAS, theres no doubt that will fire up Southport for Tuesday. Things like that do motivate players. Hope you win, Ill have a correct score punt on the match as I think your lads will be pissed off. Something silly like 0-3.
I wouldn’t, if I were you. The team is ravaged by injuries. I doubt we would have had a full subs bench today.
It is a game we could do without. Now we have a long journey to Eastleigh on Tuesday, followed by another long trek to Bedford on the following Saturday and then another to South Shields just three days later!
To make it worse, Oxford won today to push us down to 20th place. Most of the teams below us have games in hand as well.
Thanks for posting about Tony Field CAS. I hadn’t heard this.
I remember my dad talking about him as they grew up in the same area. Tony was about a year older.
Mums just informed me that he also went out with her cousin for a very short time. It was quite a thing in the family for one of their own to be going out with a footballer.
RIP Tony.
