Standing ovation for Deon being subbed. He looked very emotional.

Awful first half, completely shown up by a decent team who actually seemed bothered, they played some nice stuff but City just stood off them and didn't press at all. Minihan absolutely dire defensively again, no composure, no awareness, thought he was improving a little but no. As a team we were not quick enough getting back for both their goals and caught out both times. We are sorely lacking a number 10 playmaker who can link the play from Jacko and Donellan to the front man, I have been saying this since Geddes left.
Alun Webb was unlucky to get subbed, he looks technically decent but clear he's not used to the physicality of the league, and this was a tough game for him to make his full debut.
Second half picked up a little, they took Danny Rowe off and seemed to be coasting, then coupled with our equaliser and a superb ovation for DB we had a bit of momentum for that man Lee Hughes to win the pen and convert it. Like him or not, he's been instrumental in keeping us up this season.
Frankly we were lucky to get a point. We are so slow and ponderous on the ball, no one seems to move intelligently, its like playing Fifa and having the controller batteries die on you, nobody moves. Compare this to Fylde, Harrogate, Solihull - some of the players aren't even *that* technically gifted, but they move the ball quickly, with pace, and take 1 or 2 touches before moving it on. It's basic stuff. How many times today did we take 3 or 4 touches and only have one option, so the next pass was telegraphed and their defender could get tight and intercept. We aren't good enough, nor is anyone at this level, to play tiki taka stuff and take an age to find the perfect pass. I see this too much with United under van Gaal, it doesn't work. Press high, play with pace, play direct. Rant over.

Should have mentioned earlier, and its rare (ever?) I get to say this, but the referee had a good game! It was the same referee we had for the FCUM game which I also thought was reffed well. Having become used to games being ruined by D'Aguilar, and the moron that gifted Gloucs a win, he is a refreshing change.

I'd have to agree, I think the ref did rather well for our level! Should have booked Hughes at one point, but not going to complain too much!!
I don't think we were that bad first half, Fylde were a good side that did well on the counter, Minihan was at fault for the one goal, and I think he knew it.
Second half we were much better, Hughes gave that little bit extra to our attack.
Highlights of the day: Ethan Ross giving my dad not one, but two hugs Jordan Murphy singing along to his own song Deon Burton getting emotional when he came off Fyldes brilliant fancy dress!!
A very good game to end the season.
And bloody hell I'm so happy we don't have to play at that dump every other week any more!

Ah yes, that's exactly the sort of inane comment I would expect from someone who thinks getting relegated wouldn't have a drastic effect on attendances, and thinks Jon Prescott is a fine upstanding individual.

I think both Fylde and Ferriby have really poor support, especially for teams at the top end of the table. Solihull used to be on a similar level but with the decline in Midlands teams in the premiership and their success in recent years has seen attendances increase to an average of 500 or so. I know Fylde are owned by very wealthy people who are essentially waiting for the Oyston family to put Blackpool up for sale. However does anyone know where Ferriby get their money from?

Thanks dcx, I'm surprised as many as 30 made the trip to Kiddy, as their support is very poor. The AFC Fylde owner right-wing businessman David Haythornthwaite (who used to be the main backer for English Democrats party)has made a massive gamble by putting so much of his own money into the club, including building them a 6,000 capcity stadium. If a) they fail to go up, and b) he does not get the fan defections from Blackpool FC, then he may have wasted an waful lot of money As to North Ferriby United, they were owned by wealthy Hull businessmen Les Hare, but he sold up and the club was bought by Steve and Eman Forster - the son-in-law and daughter of Assem Allam (who owns Hull City - and wanted to change their nmame to "Hull tigers" - the Fosters were claiming they were going to bank-roll NFU all the way to the Football League, but now there are big doubts and they may even quit at the end of this season if NFU fail to go up via the play-offs. BTW I was at Chorley v Teford yesterday. Both clubs had nothing (but pride) to play for. However, it was a really good game with a crowd of well over 1,200, including about 150 from Telford (2 coach loads plus cars) - one of which also had a very loud and anoyning drum

I don't mind a drum, so long as it's not used throughout all of the match. Use it sparingly.
Fylde play some nice football, but I cannot agree with their business model. At their new ground, a seat in the main stand will set you back £430 for a season ticket - £470 if they go up. Sit anywhere else in the ground, it's £210 for NLN, or £230 should they go up. I know which one I'd choose!

Interesting we're being compared unfavourably with Fylde, Solihull & Harrogate. In eight games against them this season we've won 2, drawn 4 and lost 2, which is not a bad record against teams in the top 5. Probably due to great defending by Sam Minihan!

Ferriby almost took voluntary relegation last season didn't they? Being selfish I would like them to have their funding withdrawn - I hate manufactured success stories with no fan base, plus its one more candidate to go down instead of us! The Fylde owner has set a target of 2022 to be a football league club, that's why they have '2022' on their shirt sleeves. Think he's in it for the long haul but north of £400 for a season ticket in non-league probably explains why they only get 200 a game!

Fylde will have gone in less than five years. Another Colne Dynamoes. Colne D's problem was that they did not have a suitable ground to move forward in (Unlike AFC Fylde who do). They asked to ground share with Burnley FC (who were in the 4th division at the time) for a couple of seasons, but Burnley declined (as they were very scared of Colne D.) So the Colne D. owner quit, and the club collasped. It did reform as Colne FC as is still going, at the same old ground in the North West Counties League.

The first five minutes on Saturday I think we touched the ball twice: that says something about the way Fylde passed the ball. They looked faster, fitter and far more purposeful than us: but all those chances they wasted! I thought at the time they might rue those missed chances later on, and it was obvious that, at half-time, they thought the game was won. I thought that if we could get a quick goal in the 2nd half it might be a different game, but it took till the 67th minute, and that appeared to be too late - but of course the intro of the aforementioned Lee Hughes put a different complexion on things!
Highlight for me was the crowd spontaneously rising to their feet to applaud Deon Burton off (notice his tears?) in a fitting end to a great career.
Another one was the fantastic goal-line clearance by Minihan when another Fylde goal seemed inevitable. Whatever you may say about Sam you simply can't knock his enthusiasm and commitment. He'll do for me.
I'd agree about the ref as well: he was almost invisible and kept the whistle to a minimum. According to the paper there were only ten free-kicks in the whole 90 minutes. He should have booked the Fylde player who gave away the penalty though.

Tim, I think the thing I'll miss most this off-season will be your match reports! I rarely disagree with them!
I'd like to add that in his goal line clearance, Sam hurt himself, and perhaps played through the pain as Donnellan had to come off as he was feeling his leg too!
Ref was alright, maybe should have been a little harder on both sides, but was fair to both teams, so a big thumbs up to him!
