The first match of 2005 sees Wycombe Wanderers travel 25 miles to the KasStad.

Raging Fever 2 Kidderminster Fans 5 Raging Fever put up a brave display, but were ultimately well beaten by a superior outfit from Kidderminster.

You can’t make a silk purse from a pig’s ear, and United’s defenders certainly made a pig’s ear of this fixture.

Opponents Rushden &  [ more ]

A 52nd minute goal from Tommy Mooney rescued a deserved point for United in the frozen wasteland of north Lincolnshire last night.

In the fourth division Mansfield won 2-0 at Shrewsbury to move back above Oxford (and Grimsby), leaving the Yellows in 18th place. The Shrews remain third from bottom as last club Kidderminster lost 2-0 at Cheltenham, and had Wayne Hatswell sent off to add to their woes, and second-bottom Cambridge managed to draw 1-1 with  [ more ]

Ramon Diaz faces his first away game in charge of United tomorrow, in the exotic surroundings of North Lincolnshire. There can’t be too many Argentinian World Cup strikers who have graced the dugout at Blundell Park, and by the same token, there can’t be too many teams of Grimsby’s grandeur that Diaz has faced.
