Up the New Salamis.

Too many wins recently by London clubs

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Not yet, still restricted to players and officials. I do believe clubhouses are open with safe distancing but not the grounds themselves, where safe distancing would be easier.

No crowd allowed for North Riding Cup Final next week

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

I just checked my local team and they say they don't anticipate any league games being played behind closed doors. I'll probably go and watch them this season seeing as I won't be allowed in to watch the Boro.

Glossop North End v City of Liverpool at the Amdec Forklift Stadium could be my first match of the season then Sep 12th, a repeat of last year when Glossop drew away but got beat in the replay when at least 20 balls must have been lost temporarily or otherwise- kicked out the ground
