The National League (Conference) and non league football thread

Notts county is embarrassing - top of the league and only 70 miles away.

In mitigation neither Scunny nor the exotically rebranded Glanford Park are the most inspiring or picturesque destinations.

Oldham is the best following in that lot, unbelievable support.

Can't imagine they'd be allocated any more than 1500?

I’d be surprised if that’s the case, Scunthorpe’s ground holds about 10,000 and last week they couldn’t pay their players.

They did sell out their allocation.

I take it back wholeheartedly then, fair play. Got to say I’m very surprised by Scunthorpe though.

The erstwhile owner Peter Swann announced on Thursday, that he is finally poised to sell the Club to a local consortium. Guess that he is not putting in any more dosh into the Club, and that everything is pretty ramshackle in the meantime with staff not being paid. Doesn't want to go to the efforts involved in selling the extra seats and incurring additional stewarding costs etc ?

Oldham's owner finally sold them in the summer, so both Clubs having been run into the ground, now face the task of rebuilding under new ownership. If they can't be stabilised in time, they could be facing life in the National League North next season.

Sounds odd, that. He wouldn’t have to go to any effort to sell the tickets, Notts County would be selling them. And selling another 500-1000 tickets at £15 a pop (say) but having to pay a few more stewards seems like a no-brainer to me. Just strange, but I’m not really that bothered

Southend players got paid yesterday. For November. It's not known when they'll get this month's pay.

Taunton Town’s match at home to Weymouth this evening is off due to the pitch being waterlogged.
That won’t help their fixture pileup in the second half of the season because they have games in hand over every other team in the league.
The minimum is 2 matches in hand up to 7 against some teams!
Also, as they obviously won’t play again in 2022 now, they’ve gone an entire calendar year unbeaten at home in all league and F.A. competitions.
That’s some going as they’re playing at the highest level they’ve ever been at.
