[Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

[BN9 BHA]

What on earth has happened to newhaven this year?

Lots of injuries including Jake Robinson, some good players moved on in the summer and some have left this season including one regular that has dropped down a league for better money (I honestly haven’t got a clue what Newhaven pay players)
I heard someone mention at a recent match that Newhaven have used 40 different players already this season.

IMO they are better off ticking along in this division, rather than almost getting promoted and then failing miserably near the end of the season. Last season watching Newhaven v Steyning near the end of the season was like watching bottom v top, Steyning much, much stronger and more organised.

Keeper situation has been complete chaos as well, 6th keeper of the season Will Huffer played on Saturday (Zaki Oualah, Max Foulkes, Jasper Sheikh, Josh Strizovic, Filip Chalupnizak (7th if you include Taylor Seymour)). I've always rated Will when I've seen him play for other local sides, so hopefully he sticks around for a bit.

Clean sheet, is a start

And another clean sheet, in a goalless draw v top of the league Billericay - including a 75th minute penalty save.

Eastbourne Borough won 5-2 away at Hemel Hempstead on saturday and sit top of Conference South.
Decent Manager now from Cheltenham Town that has got them firing this year

Forgot to say, Crowborough served me one of the best made Bovril's I've ever had, and at a mere £1.20 it was superb value

Hard to make Bovril. So many things to remember

Saltdean Utd's new clubhouse taking shape.

Is there still a rough unmade road still going up to the ground?
My youngest son played for one of the kids teams approximately 12 years back, they trained and played matches behind where you have taken the photo.
The road going to the ground had large potholes and puddles full of mud, there didn’t seem to be a decent route for anyone on foot unless they had a decent pair of welly boots.

Thank you, although as a Whitehawk fan I may wonder what you have against us. We are at Canvey Island.

I did wonder why you didn't have a fixture. He must have missed you.
(it's a shame he couldn't have missed Bognor, we're having a shocking season)

Just gets better and better. Was able to catch them when I was over and happy to see them doing well.

What’s going on at Peacehaven? Seemed to have signed half a new side in one afternoon today

Unfortunately I can’t help as relations are strained between the two of us but yes, I still get the Facebook updates and Thursday about 6 or 7 players were announced.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Anyhoo… where are we going Saturday? The boy wants to do the 92 so we were going to Orient but that’s been announced as a P-P draw.

It really only leaves Colchester for him but I’m not sure I can be arsed (and the ticket prices for me and him are dearer than Liverpool away (£40)

The woman’s game offers nothing suitable re:ground hopping

There are plenty of options in the National League if I can twist his arm to drop down, Dagenham v Barnet is my favourite.

So if he doesn’t want to go, inspire me with something in Sussex (however I have done most of them)

I shall be crossing to the dark side tomorrow and watch a Lewes game.

Don't forget your pitchfork and to throw stones at the moon.

I'll be at Saltdean vs Wick for ground number 55

I see that led to an 8-0 defeat this weekend

Hopefully @Peacehaven Wild Kids got that update

If you don’t win, Whitehawk will go bottom
