Chertsey Town 2-2 Tiverton Town
Dorchester Town 3-2 Basingstoke Town – att 756
Gosport Borough 1-3 Winchester City
Marlow 2-3 Sholing – att 294
- was here for my 2nd match of the day – ‘Blues’ have real problems at the back. They appeared slow ponderous and error prone – Sholing weren’t streets ahead in quality either.
- it’s evident why Marlow are bottom and looking at a swift drop back to STEP04 without improvement.
-Mitch Parker (him again) put the hosts a goal up on 20’ with a smart free-kick but spoilt things late on, with a petulant lash out at a defender, chasing a thru ball to the keeper.
For that he picked up a straight red, with the score at 2-3 and 15 mins left (with stoppages.)
The 10 strove valiantly to level but didn’t have the firepower where it mattered.

Edgware & Kingsbury 0-2 Amersham Town
Egham Town 4-1 Wembley
Harefield United 2-0 Risborough Rangers
Holyport 1-0 Wokingham Town – att 126
- was at this for my first match – 12:30 KO pretty soggy stifling affair. ‘Sumas’ matched their high flying hosts but were pretty blunt up top
– ‘port showed a bit more fire going forward and just about edged it in the 2nd half, to stay on the fringes of the PO spots. Wokingham look pretty well set in mid-table.

[Sutekh]

Think this is the season it all catches up with Maidenhead. Really can’t keep themselves safe year after year after year after year as amateurs when practically everyone else in the division is professional.

Out of interest are there any professional sides in the NLN and NLS?

Mostly semi-pro but about 4 or 5 professional clubs in each division, normally clubs who have played higher and not switched to semi-pro in a hope to return quickly. So Torquay, Kidderminster, Scunthorpe come to mind.

and at an educated* guess, Scunthorpe, Chester Torquay etc

….and possibly below that, Dulwich Hamlet in the Isthmian and FC United of Manchester, Macclesfield in the Northern Premier (by default of their attendances).

How on earth can sides below the NL leagues sustain a professional set up? One season that doesn’t pan out as hoped and it must get rather worrying. Really should be some ownership regulations in the NL arena - might make the FL more receptive to additional promotion/relegation places being available too.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Dunno, but the likes of Macc and even ‘AFC’ Bury further down the pyramid, regularly get crowds bigger than they ever did in their FL days.
Maybe they are just self-sustaining? (given that their ‘pro’s’ aren’t on FL £ wages)
