Yep. I’m not sure anyone did tbh. Big loss, but he did a great job for the club. He’ll be a big miss.

Where’s he gone?

Spent the budget at ladbrokes didn’t he?

No idea where that rumour came from, definitely not true, know a few personal friends who’ve played under KG, only have good things to say about him, massive loss, IMO.

I can confirm that is the case as I work with a manager of another local team and he told me this today. Allegedly has scarpered to Portugal as well rather than face the music

So he lumped the club's budget on the 3.30 at Lingfield. That's nuts, if true.

We'll miss hosting you at Gorings Mead next season.

Only because lwe are jealous at your success of course!

Well there are plenty of non-league managers who like the gee gees.

Cheers. We all try to treat those imposters the same - but it was a pleasure watching our first team this season. The Isthmian will bring its own challenges - on and off the pitch. Good luck to YMCA for the coming season.

Come the end of the regular season - football does not stop. We have four weekends of tournaments and 400 young players to register!

Well we may not have the benefits of 3G . . . yet, but you are right, plenty of work going on behinded the scenes. The pitch needs plenty of attention and TLC to make sure we get another season out of it, and us volunteers are down at the ground doing all kinds of jobs most mornings of the week.

We have trials days for all three teams in a couple of weeks, and then pre-season training starts in earnest soon afterwards, and then before we know it the new season is upon us!

Came across this Team Talk Sussex TwiXer account which features video interviews with Sussex non-league teams:

Like the premise of it, probably be good for them to cross post to Instagram, TikTok, YOuTube etc as well to get more audience.

Perhaps there should now be a 2024 / 25 season Non-League thread?

Friendlies are probably starting to to be arranged already....

jackalbion - as someone who has probably done more games than most over the past 12 months you'd like to start up the new one.....

Newhaven have already arranged their friendly matches.

I’m afraid rules are RULES, and it does not start until July 1st.

Err, excuse me- But the Non-League threads were started by ME a few years back.

@jackalbion, our non league guru, is welcome to start the thread as a guest of honour. But the title must be perfectly synced with the previous to satisfy my obsession with neatness and order.
