Tony Le Mesmer I did Barrow a few years ago in the FA Trophy. We took 15. It was Bottom in the NLN v 2nd bottom in the NLS. How times change quickly! Sideways rain & the only person on the open terrace behind the goal. it was a long day, but a memorable one. Trips to these kind of places are so much better without segregation as well, which you wont get most of the time in the NL sadly.

Unbelievable. Do you have any idea if MUSA will offer a coach service to all away games next season? Otherwise getting to places like that will be very hard/expensive.

Tony Le Mesmer Changes to the play off system at steps 1&2 set for approval in June.
2nd-7th qualify for the play offs.
2 legged ties scrapped, home advantage to team that finishes highest.
4th v 7th
5th v 6th
Winners away to 2nd 3rd in a semi final.
Winners play in the final at venue of highest team at step 2, step 1 final still at Wembley.
Good move for me. Offers a clear advantage to teams finishing higher in the league. More teams that finish 2nd or 3rd will be promoted under this format. Slight chance a team that's barely better than mid table could go up, but they'd have to win 3 away games on the spin in the play offs to achieve that. That won't happen very often.

Like the sound of it but it could be seen as starting to get just a bit silly. What's the point in a league season if at the end of it all those teams who just miss out on play offs get to play additional play offs to see who gets into the play offs. Gets even more farcical after all the ground grading issues this season.
What's next, go down the utterly ridiculous route of rugby where you include the division winners in the play offs for the title or promotion.

tmesis More promotion and less relegation in steps 3-5 next season for the re-shuffling of clubs in 2018/19 to have four step 3 divisions (http://www.evostikleaguesouthern.co.uk/ ... sion-36644) ...but can anyone understand the logic of having the extra step 3 division being run by the Southern League, and the extra step 4 division being run by the isthmian league?
That implies that either both new divisions will be run by two different leagues, despite one promoting to the other, or the isthmian league will have three divisions below its premier and the southern league will have a SW and a Central Prem to go with its two lower divisions.
Both seem a slight bizarre way of doing things.

Top Flight Unsurprisingly Wealdstone FC right at the top end of the table when it comes to matchday atmosphere. It's quite a hostile place to play football. As much for the Stones as it is for the away side. The support are highly critical. Motivational booing of the home side in the form of verbal abuse towards any player that doesn't pull his weight is rife. Proper old school football club and supporters. They make a heck of a racket though throughout the game.

Mate, all you ever do is come on this forum bleating about Wealdstone and how good it is. No one cares, no one is going to read your posts and be inspired to go and watch Wealdstone. They've had their moment in the spotlight with the Raider, they are a joke. Give it a rest pal.
