Other ex Football League clubs at that level include York, Darlington, Stockport and Kidderminster. It can't be great to sink that far but dare I suggest it's not the end of the world.

Nothing wrong at Orient that a change of manager wouldn‘t fix. (rofl)

But that is not going to happen for a while according to this Orient statement http://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/orient-winless-run-is-totally-unacceptable-42869

AFC Fylde’s journey has the next instalment tomorrow against Wigan in the FAC 2.

The owner has spent a fortune over the past 5 years(new ground & 3 promotions)
Their must be something in the air on that small part of the Lancashire coast,near neighbouring Fleetwood had similar financial backing a few years ago.

The remarkable season that our friends Heybridge Swifts are having continues. They have just played their 16th cup tie of the season and beaten Hampton & Richmond in a FA Trophy replay. H&R are joint top of National League South, 2 leagues above them. They now have a trip to Maidstone to look forward to.

As a result of their cup exploits, in both the FA Cup and Trophy, they have only played 11 league games all season. Grays (remember them!) in the same league have played 24. Extraordinary. Add some dodgy weather in Jan and Feb and they'll be playing Sat-Tue-Thu-Sat for the whole of March and April.

That is a savage schedule. Read an article on the Beeb recently where the manager said he hopes that their cup runs don't have a negative impact on their league performances (but generally that he was delighted with the cup runs despite that.)
