I've come across this video nominating the "Top Ten non-league football kits" for this season. The clubs they've picked are: Halifax Town, Barnet, Marine, Torquay United, Dulwich Hamlet, Chesterfield, Fylde, AFC Liverpool, Kidderminster Harriers, York City. Skip the first 60 second of the...

It really shouldn't be necessary to segregate at this level unless you're expecting a very large away following in a ground at or close to full capacity. Dulwich hosted Chelmsford and Billericay at Champion Hill last season with unsegregated crowds of around 3,000 and there was no bother. I...

Thanks for posting that. I visited the ground around half a dozen times between 1988 and 2004. It was very sad the way it decayed over that period, reminding me of the old Leyton ground at Lea Bridge Road. It's great to see a vibrant new club making use of the rejuvenated ground, I'm looking...

He was in Tooting's first team as a youth player about 5 years ago and reputedly had League clubs looking at him. I saw him one for Tooting at Whyteleafe when he was 17 or 18 and he looked a prospect but somehow it never happened for him. He ended up drifting around just about every South...

I've watched him regularly at Dulwich and commented on the National South thread, but I'll comment here as most Wrexham fans probably won't see the other thread. He made his Dulwich debut as a 17 year old, coming through the youth team at the same time as Ethan Pinnock (now at Brentford) and...

I'm not certain what their training regime is, but they're presumably paying him similar or better money than he was on at Lincoln if he's agreed to move so soon after signing a new contract with Lincoln, and if he's not going to relocate then I wouldn't think Stoke to Billericay is going to be...

I've never seen the guy play, I know he's been part of the Lincoln success story under Danny Cowley, but having googled him I see he was already in his thirties when he went there following three seasons at Mansfield with a rather poor goals-per-game record, he only played lower level non-league...

Left of the back three is his ideal position, it's where he's played for Dulwich for the last three seasons. He played so well over the first half of last season I thought a National Division side might come in for him at the end of the season, but the team got stuck in a poor run, he was handed...

Havant have been proactive and brought in a proven manager who took his last club up from this division and established them in the National Division, so they're favourites for me if only by default. However managers like that don't always work their magic instantly at a new club. Chelmsford...

I've no idea what sort of playing budget they have but I went there two seasons ago and it felt like a very vibrant club with a crowd well into four figures. They were close to promotion last season so I'd expect them to be a bit stronger again given their progress over several years.

It's going to depend largely upon the player's attitude and approach. H must have played 300 Football League games over 10 years, but he started in non-league as a youngster so he'll know what to expect. As long as he's properly fit and has a professional attitude he'll be a lot more use than an...

If you pick something from the standard Nike range you're just going to look like a Sunday side. Apparently they will do bespoke kits for clubs at this level but it probably works out more expensive and you might have a long wait for delivery. I'm told our manager wanted us to use Nike but was...

A couple of our players, defender Michael Chambers and striker Dipo Akinyemi, have done this; turned down a contract extension after having a decent season and gone looking for something bigger. I think it's a massive gamble and so far they both seem to be in limbo. If other clubs see you and...

What could possibly go wrong. I've lost count of the number of times he's resigned then reappointed himself, not to mention sacking Harry Wheeler then reappointing him during the same season.

The man only deals in exaggeration and hyperbole, so whatever he says has no real context and becomes almost meaningless. Basically he intends to continue spunking money for a while yet until he gets bored or HMRC catches up with him.

Embarrassing behaviour on social media? Easy to see why Tamplin rates him!

I miss our trips to Hitchin. They were regular league opponents of ours from the mid-60's onwards but it must be nearly 20 years since our last visit now. Hamlet had a memorable win there on the final day of the season in 1992 to secure promotion. I 'd love to see them promoted although they...

If most of the senior players from last season have left (i.e. those who were out of contract) and not yet been replaced that's probably the best they can muster right now. I believe Erhun Oztumer, who scored 30 goals in two seasons from midfield for Walsall before joining Bolton on a 2 year...

We were invited by Marine as one of their 125th anniversary events, then sought a second fixture to make a weekend of it and landed Chester. Marine's only appearance in the FA Amateur Cup Final was against the Hamlet at Upton Park in 1932, with Hamlet winning by a record score for the final of...

Your game at Newquay was on Tuesday so what has the squad been doing since then? Are they actually preparing properly for the season ahead, with about a quarter of the league matches to be played inside the first 6 weeks, or were they just on some sort of summer jolly? If it was an 8 hour...
