Southport FC

Going great guns in the conference. Into the play offs now. League football a possibility next season?

I remember when they unceremoniously dumped out of the league in 1978, just as they were celebrating 50 years in the league. Georgie Dewsnip on the wing!

*Adds Southport to the list of irrationally hated teams along with Shrewsbury and Villareal.

Never realised until now, that Southport was Merseyside based. Gives me another option for a ground to visit, next time I'm over. Think I'm in love with conference football. Went to Kidderminster, Wrexham and Stockport thus far and loved the experience.

A bit more context to the achievement this season so far. They were actually relegated last season but were saved because rushden and diamonds had money problems and were relegated as punishment instead.

So the part timers started this season as certs for the drop but have surprised everyone as they march towards the playoffs. Southport back in the league would be boss.

Lol I will never forgive them for the FA Cup defeat the monsters.

We were shockingly awful that day, they deserved their win. If we had to be bundled out of the cup then at least them being managed by Ratters lessened the pain a little.

Shrewsbury are boss too.

How we lost that game with Wayne Rooney playing 90 minutes for us was laughable.

How dare they beat us like 30 years ago before I was born. The monsters.

When did they beat us?

Apart from the Liverpool Senior cup or something, when we put our reserves out.

Think it was when we were relegated from the 42nd division.

I knew there was a reason I hated Southport.

And I cut my foot on a shell on the beach there a couple of weeks ago.

That settles it. First they beat us when dinosaurs roamed the earth and now you get foot AIDS.

It just got personal.
