This is the topic for anything about non-league clubs or your local team. With 3 games into the season. It looks like this in the National League: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/national-league/table

i would beg to disagree but begging disagrees with me Joined: 14 June 2007 Posts: 10,941 User: 3,646	Monumentally, North Ferriby United made it into the Conference last season. When you compare the size of the village against the likes of York and Chester etc., it really is a magnificent achievement. Financially the cannot compete with other teams in their division but that also means that the pressure is off. Picked up our first win of the season tonight in a 3-2 victory over Guiseley. I really can't overstate how much of a mismatch it is for them in this division - but this is also the team who won the FA Trophy a few years ago, so anything can happen. I remember about 5-6 years ago watching Ferriby beat Fleetwood in the Conference North and look how well they are doing now!

They lost their first game rather badly, but have done well since then. As a former Woking season ticket holder, I'm disappointed with their start in the Conference National though.

Yes, Forest Green Rovers have never played in the Football League. As well as Eastleigh, Dover Athletic, Gateshead, the reformed Chester, Boreham Wood, Sutton, Solihull Moors, Bromley, Maidstone United, Woking, Braintree Town, North Ferriby United, Guiseley.

That would be something for definite, unlikely with who they got. It'll be great to see Lincoln hopefully back in the Football League.
