Hello and welcome to another Northern Football Guide. This week there seems to be a strong western bias. Forgive me, but that is where the good games seem to be! I was getting excited about Spennymoor, but as happened so often last season, they have been rained off tonight against Bradford PA.

| Jimmy Armfield passed away during the boycott. |
Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the Blackpool homecoming game. From the moment of my arrival into the town, tangerine was visible everywhere. Too often, lower league games can feel like hidden occasions, with fans on the terraces more like a special interest group than a meaningful representation of their town. At Bloomfield Road though, it seemed as if the entire town had turned out to mark the symbolic return of their club. A day which has been four hard years in the making.

| A packed Bloomfield Road takes in the game |
From the arrival of the fans march, to outside the turnstiles, to the concourses, to the terraces, and no doubt to the bars of Blackpool that evening, the joy at having their club back was unconfined. The home fans did not stop singing throughout the game, even when Southend twice took the lead. Surely The only time the away fans could be heard was in the dying minutes, right before the emotive last-kick equaliser which swept their efforts away. It was a deserved, if shambolic, climax to the occasion.

A word too about the beautiful tributes to those who had passed away during the boycott. Blackpool isn’t my club. This wasn’t my struggle. But any doubts I had about the toll this took on those who never got to see this day and their families were washed away by the families who carefully placed wreaths behind the goals. They stood there, overcome by emotion, embracing one another as empathetic applause and the cheered names of lost supporters washed down from the stands. My sincere and heartfelt condolences, congratulations and utmost respect goes to all of these people.

In the week to come, there may not be a game as important as that one, and the FA Cup may be swerving our region again, but there are still plenty of games going ahead in the Women’s FA Cup and FA Youth Cup on Sunday. Wednesday also sees a return to Women’s Super League action after the fantastic success of England at the SheBelieves Cup.
As always, this is a guide only so please check your travel options before you head to a game. Also, watch out for postponements owing to Storm Gareth passing over this evening. Have a great week of Groundhopping and please share/comment/like/subscribe/tell your friends if you find this at all interesting.
Highlights This Week
Tuesday 12th March 2019
7.45pm Blackpool v Doncaster Rovers
After the incredible scenes on Saturday, Blackpool will be looking to build on the momentum of their last minute equaliser against Southend. The crowd may not be as raucous as on Saturday, but the steaks will be much higher. Blackpool are three points off the playoffs and Doncaster are holding that coveted final spot. A win here is essential to drag themselves into the race.
7.45pm Rochdale v Oxford United
Meanwhile at the bottom of the division, Rochdale take on Oxford. Both are in the relegation zone so expect a hunger games-style battle to death. Rochdale will feel confident after their victory over 20th placed Shrewsbury ended a string of defeats. A win here could see them pull level on points with safety.
Wednesday 13th March 2019
7pm Liverpool FC Women v Chelsea FC Women
After two victories in the FA Cup, Liverpool find themselves on a run of four wins in a row, perfect form with which to face high-flying Chelsea then. It might not be enough on its own however. How about potential fatigue for the returning England players on the Chelsea side? Maybe the Reds will be in with a shot…
Friday 15th March 2019
7.45pm Doncaster Rovers v Barnsley
Doncaster are fighting for the playoffs. Barnsley are fighting for the league title. It is a South Yorkshire derby. Even with Doncaster’s poor form and Barnsley’s brilliant run, you know it makes sense.
Saturday 16th March 2019
3pm Burnley v Leicester City
Burnley achieved what few sides have been able to this season when they scored two goals at Anfield last weekend. Pity about the four they let in. Wins for Cardiff, Southampton and Brighton made it a terrible weekend for The Clarets and now a home win will be vital. Meanwhile, Leicester may only be jockeying for upper mid table spots, but with Brendan Rodgers trying to put his stamp on the side, it will be interesting to see how they are developing.
3pm Preston North End v Birmingham City
It would be fair to say that the second city derby did not go to plan for Birmingham last weekend. For them and hosts Preston though, the dream is not yet over. A win will be essential in the last chance saloon as the chasing pack tries to capitalise on collapsing Derby.
3pm Accrington Stanley v Rochdale
Four winless games for Stanley has seen them well and truly dragged into the relegation picture. Thank god for winnable home games against apparent relegation fodder. Pity they are just round the corner and threatening a return to form. Expect another fantastic atmosphere at the Crown Ground.
3pm AFC Fylde v Stockport County
Leg one of this FA Trophy semi-final takes place at Fylde. Both teams have pressing league matters on their mind, but nobody ever shrugs off a chance to go to Wembley, especially when both teams have worked so hard to get to this point. This should be an exciting set-up to the deciding leg next weekend.
3pm Colne v Radcliffe
Two promotion hopefuls here. Radcliffe are keeping leaders Atherton honest and look generally secure with their playoff berth. Colne could just sneak in ahead of Mossley or Ramsbottom, but it is wins in games like this one that will determine their chances of achieving this.
3pm Prescot Cables v Leek Town
As above, Leek are very much in the hunt for a play-off berth. Prescot would very much like to be. They might be able to claim their position in the race a little more confidently if they can pull off a win here.
Sunday 17th March 2019
12pm Durham Women FC v Chelsea FC Women
2pm Manchester City Women FC v Liverpool FC Women
Both of these games above are, potentially sizeable mismatches, however this is the FA Cup, these are the quarter finals and this matters enormously. Don’t avoid these games because of the probability of the result, go and see these games because of it. A spectacular afternoon is guaranteed if you can sniff out an upset!
12pm Liverpool U18s v Watford U18s
FA Youth Cup action and a fantastic opportunity to visit Anfield for very little once again. After dispatching Bury with ease last week, Liverpool will be confident going into this game. Watford don’t field a side in the Premier League u18 competition, while Liverpool sit 2nd in the northern division. Again, is there a chance of a big upset here?
