Posted August 14, 20168 yr I noticed there wasn't a thread for the Vanaroma National League and a non-league thread. 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
August 17, 20168 yr 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!

August 21, 20168 yr I am hoping Gateshead go up from here, they have been near the promotion play offs in recent seasons.
August 31, 20168 yr The managerial merry go round has started then. Any unexpected performers from the start so far for anyone? I am a tad surprised at Lincoln doing better than they have done in recent seasons.
August 31, 20168 yr Poole Town (a few miles from me) have made an impressive start in Conference South after being promoted last season. 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.
October 8, 20168 yr Author Hopefully this will be the season that Forest Green finally get promoted to the Football League. Top of the league so far.
October 13, 20168 yr Hopefully this will be the season that Forest Green finally get promoted to the Football League. Top of the league so far. I assume they are one of the few teams not to have ever been in the league?
October 14, 20168 yr Author I assume they are one of the few teams not to have ever been in the league? 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.
October 14, 20168 yr The old Maidstone Utd did play in the league however. Most people in the area don't make a distinction since the team was taken over by the same people within days of the original collapsing even if is technically a different club
February 20, 20178 yr Author What a season so far for Lincoln City, top of the league and in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
February 20, 20178 yr What a season so far for Lincoln City, top of the league and in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. Will be nice to see if they advance to the semis.....I like an underdog team that does well...
February 27, 20178 yr Author Sutton United had to play an outfield player in goal after their goalkeeper got injured during their match against Torquay.
March 3, 20178 yr Author Will be nice to see if they advance to the semis.....I like an underdog team that does well... That would be something for definite, unlikely with who they got. It'll be great to see Lincoln hopefully back in the Football League.
March 6, 20178 yr Author A match between Didcot Town and Hereford was abandoned due to crowd trouble: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/new...andoned-9965745
April 23, 20178 yr Lincoln City are up, what an amazing season for this club. Last play off place seems to be between Aldershot and Dover. Dover has a game in hand. Last two relegation places to be decided as well.
