Non-League Football 25/26

[fox_up_north]

I work with Dale fans and a friend does stadium comms.

 

Absolutely gutting moment but you can't help but feel they probably pulled the trigger on celebrations too early.

Congratulations to York .

 

Tough on Rochdale but will they recover for the play offs ?

[RowlattsFox]

Hilarious that Rochdale conceded because of time added on due to the pitch invasion.

At Shepshed Dynamo match and the ref forgot to play the added time for the first half and blew the whistle, has ended up bringing all the players back on to play the 3 minutes

Happy for Stuart Maynard

Well done to both Anstey Nomads & Harborough Town, champions of their respective divisions and a great advert for local non-league football.

[Corky]

Cannot see Rochdale recovering from this.

Done well to bounce back from a tricky time with you guys.

 

Maybe more his level or less pressure although probably was a bit at York.

 

Every manager has a tough gig these days but the key is to recover from it.

Hopefully both see increased numbers supporting and revenue from people who have turned their backs on Leicester. Both more deserving of the support and more rewarding to follow.

Forcing a rivalry already, love it. 🤣

Be good to see 90k winksey running around in the national league when top gives him a new 5 year deal.

Went to watch Atherstone beat march town 2-1 yesterday in united counties semi final. First half was awful picked up second half. Atmosphere was strange, 550 in attendance. If you been sheepy road, nice ground.. they have lijed two ends with a grass banks. There was loads of families present having a picnic. Barely any of them were watching the game. Goal went in only half the ground celebrated. It was like watching a game in local park with families around minding there own buisness. 

 

Cov United beat Aylestone Park 4-1 in the other semi final. To set a final against Atherstone. Cov Utd scoring for fun, so predicting an Cov Utd win.

Not quite. Harborough signed a player from Peterborough Sports who used to play for Coalville, and allegedly gave him a £10k signing on fee.

That is bonkers money at that level. Maybe I'm naive but any romance of non league is lost with that sort of figures being thrown about.

Agreed. And when you see clubs at Step 6 with budgets of £2.5k per week, it further diminishes the charm.
