• Replacing the two promoted and four relegated teams from last season are Hartlepool United, Leyton Orient, AFC Fylde, FC Halifax Town, Maidenhead United, Ebbsfleet United.
Any early predictions?
Fixtures will be released next Wednesday.

My local non-league team deserve a mention today. Whitehawk FC had picked up just four points (from four draws) in 23 games in what we used to call Conference South. Today they went to nearby Eastbourne and won 4-1 
So, congratulations to Whitehawk for being unbeaten in the whole of 2018 so far.

Another win for Whitehawk today. Three games into 2018 and seven points. They are now into double figures for the season

Not good to hear about Macclesfield becoming the 3rd National League team in the last month to announce financial difficulty.
Salford City still for the moment top of the league in National League North.

If Sutton United did get promoted to League Two, they would have an dilemma which would be this:
They play on an artificial surface, and under current rules they would face a choice should they achieve that promotion: switch to grass and go up, or stay on 3G and be punished with relegation to National League South

Who do we think is going up then?
It looks fairly likely that Macclesfield will make it, the second spot could be anyone thanks to the weird play-off system but Sutton do seem a tad better than the others atm, would certainly be interesting what would happen with the artificial pitch.

Anyone but Wrexham pls.
Chester heading back down though and not without merit.
Posted by: LewisGT Mar 18 2018, 08:54 PM
It has been absolutely dreadful watching Chester this season. They've been nowhere near good enough. Andy Halls, Lathaniel Rowe-Turner & Lucas Dawson are some of the worst players I've ever seen. Even yesterday when we drew, we looked liked we should be about 2 divisions below Aldershot.
As long as its not Wrexham nor Tranmere, I don't really mind who go up. I don't think either of them will though; especially with Keates leaving for Walsall.

Hoping although unlikely that Sutton and Boreham Wood get promoted.

North Ferriby have been relegated from the National League North despite drawing with title-chasing Salford City this evening.

So, congratulations to Whitehawk for being unbeaten in the whole of 2018 so far.Whitehawk won at promotion-chasing St Albans today to get off the bottom of the table
They are still pretty certain to go down, but at least they've been competitive in the second half of the season.

Macclesfield are promoted back to the Football League.
Posted by: Mack. Apr 22 2018, 01:26 PM
Three promotions in four seasons for Salford City as they are promoted to the National League.

And no doubt another series of the class of 92 for Sky Sports! How much money do they have?
Posted by: Mack. Apr 24 2018, 12:34 PM
I'm pretty sure that was BBC who showed the documentary series of "The Class of 92' following the journey of Salford City.
Posted by: Mack. Apr 30 2018, 04:13 PM
Kevin Davies has been sacked by Southport just six months at the helm.
Posted by: Steve201 Apr 30 2018, 07:09 PM
Yeh think your right - Sky Sports have some documentary but not sure could be about the united players?
Posted by: Mack. May 1 2018, 06:13 PM
Yes, there's been another documentary on Sky Sports following from the BBC one about Salford City called Class of '92' Full Time.

This weekend it will be Tranmere v Boreham Wood in the National League playoff final. Hoping that Boreham Wood can do it.
Posted by: Mack. May 12 2018, 04:11 PM
Very well played Tranmere. Unbelievable effort after that first minute sending off. Boreham Wood really missed out there.
Posted by: Steve201 May 12 2018, 11:23 PM
Missed opportunity for Boreham Wood, they have never been in the league have they?!
Posted by: Mack. May 17 2018, 10:45 AM
