@connorbirniee @matt_scrafton I get that but what just boo him at every moment until he’s gone?

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

@coreyphillipso @connorbirniee @matt_scrafton Can’t disagree with that, but there’s a time and a place for showing the dissatisfaction. Carry that onto next season when he might not be gone and it will get us nowhere

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

@connorbirniee @matt_scrafton So you agree with booing at 1-0 down at half time against City?

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

@connorbirniee @matt_scrafton Need to give your head a wobble if booing after that. Season has been pathetic but the effort was there today

Shout out for Geoff after the last game of his career.

Top man and one of the nicest people you’ll meet in non league!

[Nelson FC @Nelsonfc1]

This Saturday isn’t just the end of the season, it’s the end of an incredible chapter.

After a lifetime in football, Geoff McDougle will be stepping away from the game.

Geoff’s impact on Nelson FC goes far beyond recruitment. His knowledge, his eye for a player, and the standards he sets have helped shape what this club is today. Quietly, consistently, and without ever looking for the spotlight.

But his story doesn’t start or end here. Geoff has worked across the game, supporting clubs, directors, and players at all levels, and even alongside names like Sam Allardyce. That tells you everything you need to know about the level he’s operated at.

People like Geoff don’t just build squads, they build clubs.

On behalf of everyone at Nelson FC, thank you for everything. The time, the graft, the advice, and the legacy you leave behind.

We sat down with Geoff ahead of his final game to reflect on an incredible career.

Enjoy your retirement, Geoff. You’ve more than earned it.

Final league game of a wonderful season for @Nelsonfc1 as the host @MSBWOOLTONFC for the last game at Little Wembley this season. MSB are certain to finish in 3rd place which guarantees a play-off spot. Let’s finish with a bang and get the 3 points!

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

• Nelson have never lost to MSB in the only two meetings
• Nelson haven’t conceded in their last 4 home games
• Nelson’s unbeaten run stretched to 15 games, which they haven’t achieved in at least 20 years
• MSB are unbeaten in the last 6, winning 5

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

• @Darren_Holden is the only Nelson player to have played in every league game this season - 32

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

@GarstangFC v @Nelsonfc1 this evening with the club going into this game as champions and will want to keep the unbeaten run going. Garstang sit in 17th in the relegation places but a point could see them bypass Ashton Athletic, which could help if there are reprieves.

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

• Nelson last won 6 games in a row back in October which coincided with @ArronRipley’s return to the club
• Lewis Brown & Billy Priestley lead the MOM ratings with 4 a piece with 2 games left
• Garstang have ex-Nelson striker @B_carter1999 in their ranks

[The NWCFL ⚽️ @nwcfl]

Clean Sheets: North and South

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

The 5-0 win on Sat secured the title but also brought up 200 gls in charge of @Nelsonfc1 for @ArronRipley

Incredibly, this feat has been achieved in just 85 games, averaging 2.4 GPG whilst only conceding 98

Also a shout out to @max_cane2000 who got his 5th hat-trick for Nelson

[Nelson FC stats @NelsonFCstats]

@charliefrostt11 @max_cane2000 Come back next season 😬
