DavidCollinge Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Great achievement by GNE this season, 90 mins from reaching The FA Vase Final at Wembley, currently 2 nil up after the away leg with St Austell, Cornwall. 8 points behind Runcorn Linnets in the League with 5 games in hand & A NWCL Cup semi final against Bootle coming up next week.... I'd gladly settle for the League and Vase but the way they are playing i can see all 3 trophies coming to Surrey St..
disjointed Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Great to see a local side doing so well, fingers crossed for the treble.
GlossopLatic Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Another trip to Wembley After may 9th I will have been to see Glossop North end at Wembley as many times as Latics Hopefully like last time it will be a warm hot summers day and the beer in the green man will be flowing.
DavidCollinge Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Quick update for anyone that's interested. 1) Got to the FA Vase Final and will now play North Shields @ Wembley 9th of May 2) Still 8 points behind Runcorn Linnets with 5 games in hand. now have to play 10 league games in 20 days. (last game of the season is Runcorn Linnets away!) 3) Reached the NWCL Cup Final and will play Atherton Colls. @ Curzon Ashtons ground on Thur. the 30th of April. The treble's still on....

DavidCollinge Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 "10 games in 20 days, that is where it could go wrong, maybe too big an ask, good luck anyway." Cheers, gonna' be a real test, the League would not extend the season even by a few days. This week they have to play Mon, Wed, Thur & Sat. i really think that's expecting too much from a non league club.
GlossopLatic Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Haven't atherton colliries got a former Stockport county striker playing for them who has bagged 60 goals this season.
DavidCollinge Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Mark Battersby is the lads name, was at Glossop for 2 seasons prior to Stockport. Gotta be looking to move up the leagues at the end of the season....
DavidCollinge Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Glossop won the league and in some style, 10 points ahead of nearest rivals Runcorn Linnets. Tonight they compete in the NWCFL League Cup final against Ath. Colls. @ Curzon Ashton £5 entrance KO 7.45 The best defence in the NWCFL (Glossop) v the leagues most prolific scorer Mark Battersby (60+ for the season)...
DavidCollinge Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 It ended as a 2 nil win for Glossop. Ath Colls. finished with 9 men as they let their frustrations get the better of them, Battersby going for 2 yellows. Really disappointed with Battersby, was obvious he wanted to impress in front of the 1000+ crowd but never got a sniff. Glossop now look to win the treble a week tomorrrow at Wembley against North Shields..
disjointed Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Here's hoping they round it off in style, fantastic achievement whatever happens.
BP1960 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Impressed with Glossops style of play, Goalkeeper good, a solid back four and a midfield quartet whose aim is to feed the two whippet like strikers, simple but very effective.
DavidCollinge Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 Highlights of the FA Vase final @ Wembley can be found on BT Sports Sat night at 10.00pm, gotta be better than MOTD!....
GlossopLatic Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I've got my tickets for wembley we all in the green man again tomorrow Dave?
OldhamSheridan Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 ...Northern League team wins again. Six of the last seven finals now (and runner up in the other).
DavidCollinge Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 "I've got my tickets for wembley we all in the green man again tomorrow Dave?" Travel arrangements didn't go to plan, ended up stuck in The V & A at Marlebone Station with a load of geordies. And spent too long in a pub after the game and missed our train home!! Gutted with the result, Just a bit lacking up front i thought, plenty of pressure 1st half but couldn't convert into goals. Hope you had a good day.
DavidCollinge Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 "...Northern League team wins again. Six of the last seven finals now (and runner up in the other). " That is some stat. considering there are over 500 teams competing. .
BP1960 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Thought Glossop were the better footballing team, but maybe it was one game too many after a long season. I liked the look of North Shields winger Denver Morris. Edited May 10, 2015 by BP1960

Had a cracking day out apart from the result we decided to go up with the singing section behind the goal at the back good to see so many City United Livepool and a few Latics all coming together to support Glossop my voice still hasn't recoverd.
