The Great Drinkell 50 Posted March 23, 2017 With no top league domestic football this week and my knowledge & interest in international football very limited I''m sticking with the lower leagues and one team who are flying beaten once in 10 I believe (Stevenage) have the short trip to Cambridge who seem to be struggling at home - although I expect a close game I expect a confident Stevenage team to be just a little to good. and at 11/5 this is my value bet of the week.Cambridge v Stevenage AWAY winProbably won''t see it in the final 6 though but the very best of luck to Purple to start us growing that fund again.Great photo''s from last Saturday NN and I''m good for the 8th.

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 23, 2017 I wanted to find some obscure outpost for Purple to investigate but despite looking in places as far away as Costa Rica I found nothing I was as confident about as I am closer to home. So it''s the Northern Premier League for me. ''Slim came good last weekend with Blyth Spartans and i looked at them but instead am going for : -Spennymoor v Halesowen Home Win.Apologies to DDD. I had said I would mention the proposed PUPs meet up in the Nelson after the Fulham game on good Friday in the OP. I echo his sentiment that everyone is welcome and also hope to see some new faces.
