The Non League Football Thread ⚽

[78Spur]

Our friends at Marine have won their play off to reach the 7th tier.

They go from Northern Premier League - West to Northern Premier League - Premier

That's the level below Conference North, then National League, then EFL - it just goes to show how many tiers down they were when they played us.

Good interview. These guys make it easy to root for them;

Visiting family down in Worthing and heading to their game against Hampton and Richmond

Worthing a very good side to watch with an interesting story, their chairman used to play for them but due to an accident was left paralysed from the waist down

He used the payout he got to buy the club and has turned them into a profitable club who are knocking on the door of the conference proper

Finished my playing career at Kingstonian and stayed on as Press Officer for many years in the 80s and 90s. They were doomed when Wimbledon bought there ground out from under them.

Going to my local club today Hitchin Town. Old school ground. Capacity restricted to 600 but they don't often go over that anyway. Sunny shining open terrace. Football is properly back!

Had a feeling this was gonna happen. Feels like time is just about up for Ben Strevens.

Bracknell were a playoff team last year and had a strong FA Cup run too, they're very far from being pushovers.

Tough game, nice to be in the draw for now!

Also Horsham giant killed Dorking Wanderers, followed by one of the most 'pull no punches' post match interviews...

Sad to say that my old club Kingstonian are in desperate straits.
Bottom of the Isthmian Premier and homeless since Abramovich slung us out of Kingsmeadow for his women's team a few years ago.
There doesn't seem to be any one interested in investing in the club, let alone funding a new ground.
Terribly, terribly sad.

I’m amazed more clubs haven’t gone under but I guess some of the government support e.g. furlough has helped a tiny bit. My non league interests are lower down the pyramid but it’s the same story. These clubs are all crucial assets for communities so you’d like to think the footballing world could support them.

Petition signed btw.
