Non-League Greater Manchester

A game too in @nwcfl.bsky.social Div 1 North, as #DaisyHill go to Garstang

Daisy are 12th & are 6 points above the relegation zone, but they're also only 10 points from the playoffs, so with 8 games left, a march up the table is still a possibility

There's a game in the @nwcfl.bsky.social Premier tonight, as @wdcfc.bsky.social go to Litherland

West have dropped to 8th, but they've got games in hand, tonight being 1 of them, & they're 8 points off the playoffs

In the @nwcfl.bsky.social Premier, the GM Derby between #Irlam & #StockportTown finished goalless

#RamsbottomUnited won to cut the lead at the top to 6 points

@athertonlrfc.bsky.social, @chaddertonfc.bsky.social, & @prestwichheysfc.bsky.social all got wins too

In @thenpl.bsky.social Div 1 West, #Avro get a good win in Staffordshire & go a point behind Bury at the top, with a game in hand

Both our teams have to settle for a point tonight in @thenationalleague.bsky.social North - #CurzonAshton were held at home by Oxford, & #Radcliffe were pegged back by Alfreton

Droylsden off unfortunately

In @nwcfl.bsky.social Div 1 North, #Droylsden have a trip up to Cumbria to face Holker

The Bloods were displaced at the top last night but a win will take them back there on GD, but they will have played 2 more than Nelson by the end of the day

@athertonlrfc.bsky.social are knocking on the door, & they're at home, as are @prestwichheysfc.bsky.social

There's a GM Derby in the @nwcfl.bsky.social Prem, as #Irlam host #StockportTown with the home side looking to consolidate their playoff place

So too are #RamsbottomUnited & @chaddertonfc.bsky.social who are both away

A game in @thenpl.bsky.social Div 1 West tonight, as #Avro go to Newcastle, & they can go within a point of Bury at the top - they've currently got 2 games in hand

There are games in @thenationalleague.bsky.social North tonight, as #Radcliffe go to Alfreton, & #CurzonAshton host Oxford

Radcliffe are 9th but only a point outside the playoffs so will look to move back there tonight, while The Nash are 15th

Last night's game in @nwcfl.bsky.social Div 1 North was a cracker, but it didn't go the right way for #MaineRoad unfortunately as they lost 5-4 to Nelson, & they're still 7 points from safety with just 7 games left in the season

Both Maine & Droylsden fans are hoping you're right!

There's a game tonight to start the week, & it's in @nwcfl.bsky.social Div 1 North

#MaineRoad have a very tough game at home to Nelson who sit 2nd

Maine are 7 points from safety, & it really is now or never for them, with 8 games remaining

Yep not a bad way to go!

Someone's just asked me that on Twitter, so here's my response...

Hmmm, difficult to say, there's so much to like at loads of grounds - I've said it recently but I love a ground that can be described as 'quintessentially non-league', with portakabins and random bits of stands dotted around!

I will at some point no doubt, but it becomes a case of where do you stop?!

Plus I definitely want to complete a full league - I'm closest with the Counties Premier!

And there we go, 31 grounds in Greater Manchester at Steps 1-6, and 31 done!

Not the greatest achievement by any means, but a goal I set myself when I started this page and had only done 8

Now to get some full leagues ticked off!

In @nwcfl.bsky.social Div 1 South, #StockportGeorgians get a good win at Telford & have a 12 point buffer in the playoffs, although the sides knocking on the door have games in hand

In @nwcfl.bsky.social Div 1 North, #Droylsden win late & remain top on GD & #AshtonTown won too

#AshtonAthletic, #MaineRoad, & #DaisyHill were beaten though unfortunately

Defeat though for #RamsbottomUnited

In the GM Derby in the @nwcfl.bsky.social Prem, #AbbeyHey got a good point v @chaddertonfc.bsky.social, & @wdcfc.bsky.social & #Wythenshawe had to settle for a point each too

Wins for #CheadleTown, #StockportTown, @athertonlrfc.bsky.social, #Irlam, & @prestwichheysfc.bsky.social

In @thenpl.bsky.social Div 1 West, @stalycelticfc.bsky.social came from behind to beat #Avro in the GM Derby, but @buryfc.bsky.social can't take advantage as they're beaten too

#Trafford get a great win & @acfc1916.bsky.social take 3 points too, while #Mossley draw & #WythenshaweTown are beaten

In @thenpl.bsky.social, @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social get a great win after coming from 2-0 down, & they remain 3rd, but are 3 points off top with a game in hand

@hydeunitedfc.bsky.social get a point & they're 2 above the relegation zone, but #AshtonUnited are beaten, & are 13th

In @thenationalleague.bsky.social, wins for @altrinchamfc.bsky.social & #Rochdale, & Dale remain top, while Alty are up to 13th

In the North, there are defeats unfortunately for #Radcliffe & #CurzonAshton, & they're 9th & 15th respectively

It finished #AshtonTown 1-0 AFC Blackpool, the hosts being deserved winners I'd say - not the best game, but they won't care about that, 3 points is all that matters

Arrived late, as is my MO, but I'm at The Bartons Stadium for #AshtonTown v AFC Blackpool

That's 31/31 GM grounds...

😁

But yeah absolutely doable!

😆🤦🏼‍♂️

@oldmancunian.bsky.social - floodlights hadn't been signed off in terms of safety, not sure why the plan always wasn't 2pm at Shawe View, but it is now
