Anyone know what the score is with this lot? Are they bankrolled or something?
1 point off the top of the conference!!
Re: Solihull Moors
2I believe their current chairman used to own Oxford United and (rumour has it) did well out of selling the club, and now has a bit of cash to throw at his boyhood team in Solihull.
They’re not super-minted like Salford, but they have a bit of financial ballast. A bit like us when we went up from that division, in fact.

4Lying on the outskirts of Birmingham, shouldn't be too distant a trip if they get promoted. Presuming we don't of course.

Re: Solihull Moors
8I used to live near their ground - the one end used to be a driving range - went there a few times to hit a few balls onto what now is the pitch - they formed up from Moor Green, who I think the County played down at Spytty one year and whose main stand burned down rendering them homeless, and Solihull Borough. If I remember rightly Birmingham Citys old training ground was on the same road and I think Birmingham City ladies play at the Moors ground on Damson Parkway - btw its next door to a massive Land Rover plant.
Re: Solihull Moors
9The old Moor Green ground was peculiar. It had one of those traditional non-league stands that looked like railway signal boxes but they'd turned the pitch 90 degrees so it was at one end, with just a rail along both sides and a bikeshed cover at the other.
The neighbours objected to permanent floodlight pylons so they had to lie flat and be winched up. Driving through Shirley to get there, you passed a big Chinese called the Shirley Temple.

Re: Solihull Moors
11Went to Moor Green a few times. I quite liked the stand behind the one goal; was like a minitiaure Hazell Stand in my memory isn't playing tricks on me (i.e. terracing at the bottom and shit wooden seats at the top).
