:oNever thought that there would ever be a scoreline like this in the UCL prem. Anyone know of any special circumstances ie Stotfold could only field 7 players or something?  |

Think it's just a matter of taking your chances. When Fords played Stotfold on saturday, it could have been 6 or 7 but Fords still need a an out-and-out striker who takes his chances.

According to Stotfolds website they had a few senior players missing and fielded their youngest squad in the CLUBS history, and to be honest you can't but help feeling sorry for them. This really does prove what a total debacle the UCL fixture calender currently is making a team travel that far on a Tuesday night.
The time and work obligations are obvious but do the comittee not also realise the underlying advantage or disadvantage a scoreline like that offers both teams come the end of the season. Those -10 goals could cost Stotfold relegation or the +10 could win Deeping the title thus effecting a lot of other teams in the league also!.

Very true. Huge advantage being the home team in a midweek fixture.
That 10 goals for Deeping could be crucial (+41), as they have now gone 10 goals better off than Bostons +31

How the hell does the League make stotfold travel over 50 miles to a midweek game. With at least an hours drive to Deeping that would mean leaving Stotfold at 5.45 at the latest. Some of us work till 6.00. Its probably only the kids who can make it. I've got no grudge to bear as from Fords point of View this result is a good one. But it does nothing in real terms for the reputation of the league its self. |

Blissycook theres no difference, you actually said "Never thought that there would ever be a scoreline like this in the UCL prem." and Harrowby are in Grantham Premier, 1 below The Lincs league, with their reserves in the Grantham 2nd |

Stotfold in managerial change
Stotfold have parted company with manager Mark Teeling by mutual consent. He had spent just three months at the Roker helm and his spell in charge ended with the club's record UCL defeat at Deeping.
The Eagles have handed the reins to a vastly experienced management team. Former Arsenal player Ian Allinson returns to Roker for a second spell in charge having previously managed the club from December 1992 to May 1998. During that time he led the Eagles to the runners-up medals in 1996, their best ever UCL finish. Since leaving Stotfold he has managed Barton Rovers and Boreham Wood where he was director of football until recently.
Assisting Allinson will be Ian Donnelly who spent last season at the Potton helm, guiding them to second place in the Premier Division. Before that he assisted Kerry Dixon at Hitchin Town.
