I have tickets for Brackley away on Monday. Only a point needed (Or even a loss if Chorley drop points). Should be a good day out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 That's great stuff from Tamworth. Only live 15 minutes away and have fond memories of seeing their ground whenever going to the Snowdome years back. Andy Peaks is a top manager at that level, might be a few from the leagues above having a look. Will probably struggle like Kiddy have back in the top non league division but will get some good away crowds next season with likes of Oldham.

That’s good to know as I am driving and have no idea what is nearby. Hopefully the BH traffic is kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were chatting about this today. Tamworth were in a proper mess when he took over, flirting with going down and playing awful football. To immediately turn that into back-to-back promotions is incredible. If I were an owner of an EFL club I’d give him and his team serious consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were an owner of an EFL club I’d give him and his team serious consideration. He got a couple of promotions at Rushden and Diamonds (remember them) aswell so I think he could be on the radar of some of the bigger national league clubs but you'd like to see him stay at Tamworth and see how competitive he can get them in probably a weaker national league than last five years as potentially Sutton and Forest Green coming back down are sides returning to their natural level and they won't be moneybags like Wrexham and Chesterfield were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworth only needed a point from the last 4 games, or Chorley to drop any points. I went to the game today at Brackley and Tamworth were utterly atrocious. 1 down after 2 minutes. 2 down after 12 minutes. Only 1 shot on goal I can remember. Could barely string 2 passes together. Second best to absolutely everything. It finished 3-0 and Chorley won their game so on it goes. It might work out better to secure it on Saturday anyway at home. Last season the title was won away from home. I’m sure it’s 10x better doing it in front of the home fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be fine and as you say in an ideal world you'd always want to achieve something significant in a home game e.g. would be amazing to seal CL qualification at home to Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted April 2 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2 Kidderminster Harriers still clinging on to their National League place, just about. Phil Brown came in a few months ago and has a decent record taking over from Russ Penn. They beat top of the league Chesterfield 3-1 away yesterday in an unexpected win keeping them in touch with the teams above them. Would be a huge turnaround if they do manage to survive!

imavillan Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Today could be the day that Tamworth get promoted to the National League. Home to Warrington and only 1 point required. It would be good if they could do it in front of their own fans although i'd expect there to be a few nervous players out there today. Good luck to them. I hope they do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Seems like a little bit of a mess with the national league playoffs. Gateshead finished in a playoff position but have been told they wouldn't be allowed in League 2 after an issue securing a lease with their stadium. So now they won't be allowed to take part in the playoffs. The national league then gave Solihull Moors a bye to the semi final before changing their mind and awarding the bye to Altrincham.

Xela Posted yesterday at 15:34 Share Posted yesterday at 15:34 Solihull won 4-0 and into the play-off final. Can't warm to them - been there twice and heard the usual anti villa songs on both occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
