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

[Seagull in the 'Sham]

Chatham edged past Horsham on penalties last night in front of 3,000. Now in the play off final to try and secure their third successive promotion.

Shame about the result (from a Horsham perspective), but it's still the greatest ever season in the history of the Hornets...FA Cup Run, FA Trophy run, Highest ever league finish...and still the Sussex Senior Cup final on Wednesday against Hastings to look forward to.
Good luck to the Chats in the playoff final on Monday against Enfield though...

Is it just rock up to Eastbourne on Sunday about half an hour before ko without a care in the World ? or

will it be packed out , can't get in and a wasted journey ?

I can stretch to an hour before if need be

There was only 600 on Tuesday, I paid on the gate and walked up.

Yes surprised there were so few really, a crowd of nearly 400 for YM's recent league match at the Saffrons, so l would have expected more for a Play Off semi-final.

My local team Salisbury beat Gosport last night with a 90th minute penalty. 2,200 at the Ray Mac Stadium.
Now have to play Totton on Monday for a place in National League South.

Good luck with that. Wasn't our very own Steve Claridge manager at Salisbury some years ago?

Yes indeed. Horsham need to make sure they put some silverware in the trophy cabinet next week against Hastings, and actually have something to show for the season.

@Arthur 7th May at Midhurst for the PB semi-final.

Thought it was at Wick?

sorry I've got way behind on updating you all on my journey. In April I ticked off Haywards Heath Town, Worthing (twice), Peacehaven & Telscombe and the picturesque duo of Arundel and Hassocks. I absolutely loved Arundel in particular with the stunning backdrop of the castle and the PETANQUE CLUB in the corner of the ground.

Tonight I'm going to the Isthmian South East play off final between Three Bridges and Chichester City, then on sunday it's the SCFL Premier Play Off final between Eastbourne Town and Newhaven. I might be able to find somewhere else by the end of may but otherwise I'll be finishing the season on 26 grounds ticked off before the summer break when I get going again probably at the end of June/beginning of July. I am just about on track

this is a very niche question but does anyone know where Forest Row are playing next season? Saw a post from them saying that they're no longer going to be sharing with Oakwood but no news about where they'll be calling home

Yes he was but they sacked him a while back.
Tickets for the final on Monday sold out within hours

Best of luck to Seaford Town tomorrow afternoon in the playoff final v Wick.

Several Sussex teams are in playoff finals, starting with Three Bridges vs Chichester City today.

Chichester City have defeated Three Bridges 5-0. Great result for them; they will play in the Isthmian Premier next season.

A brilliant result for Chichester City who won 5-0 at Three Bridges in their SE Div One Play-off Final.
It means Chichester join Bognor, Lewes, Horsham, Hastings and Whitehawk in the Isthmian Premier Division next season.

According to my mate, who went to watch them a few days ago, it said in the programme he was given that they are moving to East Grinstead next season.

 

[jackalbion]

Superb game at Three Bridges, an absolute masterclass in counter attacking from Chichester City to see them win 5-0.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

The Wick 'Ultras' on their way...Sup up your beer and collect your fags Seaford lads!

 

[Horsham Gull]

Not much locally anymore so gone further afield today to bedfont sports v reading city in the combined counties

There’s quite a little cluster of football clubs round here to complete and if the football is awful there’s always plane spotting from the airport

Blinding match Seaford v Wick...

Shared 6 goals, straight to penalty shootout. Seaford pen to win it put wide...

Wick win in sudden death and pitched battles with the fans on the pitch after the shootout...

All for £6

What's going on with Wick - where has this element of twatish behaviour from their so-called ultras come from!? Seems very unique to Wick round these parts in non league football
