Anyone got the low-down on Southport, please?
I know the Manager's just left, but might that actually make them stronger?
Who do they have worth looking out for? Strengths? Weaknesses? Set-piece play? Ability to influence Referees? General attributes, e.g. long-ball play, or side-channel, or running through defences? Do they play football or do they play dirty?
How full-time are they, and if so, why are they struggling right at the bottom of the Table?
And their fans: Good bunch? Loud, proud? Do they travel? Any pride or History they exploit in their support?
Any/all comments appreciated.

They are one of the poor relations in the Conference, doomed to struggle until their inevitable relegation - just like Tamworth!
Haven't seen them this season but they were a very physical team last season, liked to lump it into the box at every opportunity...errr....just like Tamworth!
Their fans are a good bunch, not that many of them (they're all Manc and Redscouse fans round there!) but they get behind the team.

Ex league team, suppose that's history of a sort.

Cheers for the link, incl. the mention of their Chairman, "Big-time Charlie".  There may yet be a Tinpot Tour for some of us on a Tuesday night this month.... And Southport sounds okay for an Awayday! And don't panic, Coops. Not even halfway through the Season, with a goodly cheque on its way from the BBC, anything can happen. |

Southport? Been there. Too far. Too far? Far out? Sure you're not mixing them up with Southpark? Oh, forgot you don't have a telly....  |

I have a telly but i never watch it, the fact that i can resist the need to watch TV even when i've paid my share of the licence says a lot about the quality of TV...

I have a telly but i never watch it Sal, if you wish to be pretentious you could learn a LOT from this comment above from the youngster! HOW much more educated middle class high-brow could you appear than by uttering the above?   Total classic, young man! ;D [Actually, I think you're both right. The content on telly's awful, yet I couldn't do without it, as I can't stop myself turning on in hope.....  ] {P.P.S. Green Wing was great last night. Perhaps the weakest script they've done so far, but still better than all 45,000 years of the Vicar of Dibley put together. Did anyone else spot a visual allegory with Caroline suspended in the air by balloons? i.e. that they left the plot "hanging".....   } |

There was a great cartoon in the pre-Christmas Private Eye. A turkey holding a newspaper was reading the Christmas TV schedules and saying "I'm glad I'll be dead".
