10 points from safety an with games running out. If their fortunes don't change an start picking up some wins its not looking good for them. Does anyone know if they went down to the Conf South could they stay full time an are there any full time clubs at that level?

They're 10 points adrift of the 20th placed club (Altrincham). A mate of mine who supports them says they have "several easy games" coming up against teams around them. I pointed out to him that these other teams would also be scrapping like hell to try and get out of the mire.................

Ebbsfleet who are running away with it are full time but, as far as I know, no other clubs are. However, when you get down to this level (where I coach), the boundaries between "Full Time" and "Part Time" are blurred. There are players who individually pick up enough to not have proper jobs or the travel to the club means they dont have proper jobs but the club doesnt pay all the players the same

It mostly comes down to the training pattern the club / manager want which will dictate who they can sign

Kidderminster win again, Torquay now bottom! Maybe the new stadium won't be needed?

Attendance at the home game tonight to Macclesfield in the FA Trophy was 838! They drew 3-3 and now face a replay when they should have been facing Halifax in a bottom of the table scrap.

Allen could be the key to their resurgence.

Very worrying times for their supporters they are effectively 11 points from safety as Halifax have conceded 9 goals less. It ain't looking good.
