What a fantastic performance by North Ferriby and that was the most moving receipt of a cup I have ever seen, with the chairman and his wife in tears, in congratulating every one of the players and management team, as they came past for the cup ( the appreciation reciprocated back by the players) - brilliant stuff. Took me back to Gateshead when no one turned up. Knew it would be worthwhile, ultimately - although it wasn't us. Football the winner.

Hardly. In what sense?!

The FA Trophy has just been won by a bunch of amateurs from a village. It was hardly a capitalist gang bang was it. More like a romantic giant killing tale in a cup competition that is utterly insignificant commercially.

Granted, it's hardly Man City-esque proportions but it's all very relative. They are bankrolled significantly by the Allam family, without whose backing, they would be many rungs in the football ladder lower and in no way would they be able to afford their Conference-standard squad. 'Financial Fair Play' needs to come in at all levels of the game. I don't need to remind anyone of the countless clubs who have spent WAY beyond their means for it to all go mammaries up. Lower league football fans should not be toasting clubs who achieve success that way.

Especially when you compare them to the club they have just beaten. Supporter-owned and sustainably-ran. The model that I would love to see all clubs replicate. Probably more in hope than expectation. This will always be a very polarising subject so I'm going to bow out here.

What are the rules about owning 2 clubs? Or are NFU owned by Allam's 'wife/son/cat'?

Maybe the money referred to was the help that NFU get from the Allams

Still needed desire and application from their players though to make the dream a reality

If he were to bung us a few quid then don't think we'd complain too much although it would have to be a no-strings donation given his penchant for dictating terms

Ferriby are a bit more than that though as I read they have had a bit more money to spend than other teams in that division.Great game though and really enjoyed watching it on Bt Sport.Hence for me love watching lower league level on tv and sometimes even more so than some of the prem games


One life,one love .

Got to admit- I was sold on the emotion of a management team in its 700th game in charge of team finally achieving something spectacular - good for them I say.
