Today, we did a thing!!
A long trip to Whitby and not only did we win and maintain an unbeaten start. We went top of the league.

What are you doing on Monday afternoon? We have what is classed as one of our local derbies, in the current division as we welcome Belper Town to Marston Road. A 3pm kick off, with us top and them second bottom and having lost 5-0 today, we anticipate one of our biggest attendances in the last few years so it would be great to get as many as possible to the game. Lets get building this community!
Advance tickets available here - Belper Bank Hol Monday

I can't make it on Monday because I'm in Lincolnshire watching the Superbikes but I did go on Tuesday for the first time this season and will go again when I'm free.

Whilst I understand the excitement of such a great start how on earth is Belper being over 40 miles away anywhere near a local derby match apart from the obvious that they are from Derbyshire?

Because they've shifted teams and it's our closest fixture along with Nantwich, hence being played on a bank hol.

Read this on the Rangers website. Bit of a strange way to encourage younger fans to watch non league football isn't it?

The post is in respect of fans aged under 21 visiting Guiseley.

Unfortunately, in recent weeks Guiseley have had a number of incidents of crowd trouble. Hence they've now banned u21s from attending gamss unless theyve got a Guiseley season ticket or a membership.

The above doesn't apply to away fans, however some of our fans could be denied entry if the turnstile staff confuse them for home fans. The post by SR is to try and make sure that doesn't happen.

A very sad situation for non league football.

Thanks.

I understood why the Rangers had posted it but just thought it was harsh to tar all under 21 Guiseley fans with the same brush.

In this day and age it shouldn't be that hard to quickly pick out the guilty culprits from the genuine fans.

I agree. Im not in favour of the approach taken by Guiseley.

Are there any local volunteer groups willing to help out on the club’s regular tidy up weekends?
Details on the website. The club are increasingly looking at community involvement.

Been told that real ale is no longer available in the social club bar. Is this correct? If so, not the way forward.
