[Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2022/23 Edition

That isn't right, is it?

It is the FA themselves who refer to Step 7 in the article I posted in #1,254. Based upon the FA document linked in post #1,250, step 1 is the National League and step 6 is Division One of the Southern Combination Football League.

That has always been my understanding, if I’m explaining Peacehaven’s position to someone who doesn’t follow non league I’ll sometimes use “level nine” (or if it’s a Turkish waiter questioning my polo shirt it’ll be “Division 9”)
However I call it Step 5

If anyone didn't know, Eastbourne Borough have just been taken over by a wealthy benefactor called Simon Leslie. He intends to get them up so I imagine this is just the first step.

Hmmm forgive me, l hope he succeeds, and call me a kill joy if you will, but l have seen this sort of thin g so often in the past where non-league clubs are concerned, and on all too many occasions it all ends in tears.

A not diisimilar scenario befell my home town club Staines Town just a few years ago, taken over by a wealthy individual promising the fans the earth, and in no time at all the club went out of business.

There is plenty about the shenanigans that went on at Wheatsheaf Park online, it's well worth a read.

New 2023/24 thread to avoid confusion

[Football] - The Non-League Football Thread- 2023/24 Edition

I thought to start the new season thread as there is talk of pre-season fixtures already. Has the last season actually finished ? A full list of the 2023/24 Vanarama National League key dates are as follows: • Fixture Release Day – Wednesday 5 July 2023, 1pm • Opening Day – Saturday 5 August...

Although I will have confused things as it places this one at the top.

Every year...
