Salford are a joke. I know they’ve obviously got giants on their doorstep, but there is no need for that football club. I just hope they don’t go up. I like Gary Neville, but he can f#ck off with that bullsh#t.[/quote
Salford have existed for a long time, it’s just their position in the pyramid is not their historic one. They are the other side of the coin to Bury’s decline. Eventually the wheel turns around and natural order is restored.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Quoted from Abdul19
Think Bishops Stortford were in the NLN a few years ago, must be similar southerness.


Weren't Gloucester City once in the Northern division?? It's gonna be harsh on one team.

I wonder if they get any financial support otherwise must be a massive disadvantage as the whole point of regionalised football is keeping cost down.Must cause problems for part time players as well with longer trips for midweek away games.

I used to play in a step seven/eight league when away games could be as far as 200 miles away as we were the most northerly and easterly club..

Yes, the other possibility is Hemel Hempstead Town. Slightly further south than Braintree but on the M1 so easier to reach the NLN sides in the West Midlands and further north.


Bishops Stortford it is then......

Gloucester have flitted between the NLN and NLS for the last 15 or so years. There is absolutely no way anyone would ever say Gloucester and Banbury for example are remotely northern but they are 2 of the most northern 24 teams at that level, so into the NLN they go.

It must impact budgets and recruitment, but whilst you can control to some extent the northern and southern split of those coming up, those teams coming down are from national football.

So 8 of Scunny’s league opponents next season will be south of Leicester, and some of them very much south. In a so-called regionalised league, only Alfreton and Farsley Celtic are within a 90 minute drive of Glanford Park. Several of their away trips will be more than double that.

The one theoretical upside you would assume of being relegated to regional football, and it doesn’t even materialise. Ouch.

What with Wrexham and Notts County going up, and Scunny, Torquay and Yeovil going down, the NL looks a bit more traditionally "non-league" for 23/24.

In other news, Scunny now play just one level above Hashtag United - a club founded by a YouTuber which entered the pyramid in 18/19 and just got promoted to the Isthmian League. Football's a weird game.

Quite like the new mini-stadium they used for the County v Chesterfield final. Makes sense for games with smaller crowds.
