That £250k average, or typical/median budget figure is exactly the same that was mentioned by one of the Dulwich directors when speaking at a supporters forum a few months back. (We have another one on Monday evening.) So that equates to around £5k-£6k a week depending upon whether it's spread...

He led Havant out of National South twice and he led them back into it twice.

Looks fairly innocuous for a double red card in the first half of such a vital match. There's a bit of a tangle of legs as they first hit the deck, the referee probably has a better view than that camera, but still looks harsh. I thought suspension kicks in 7 days after the offence at this...

They sneaked into the Isthmian Premier play-offs in 2015 when Enfield Town were deducted points and lost the semi-final at Hendon. That's the only previous time they finished in the top 5 at Step 3.

Frankly, come on anyone else. Even Tonbridge. My preference as overall winner now would be Poole (new ground, although I went to the old one for a Trophy tie in 1982/3) followed by Merstham (local and easy to travel to) whose XI last night featured 8 ex-Hamlet players.

The winners of that must then play off with the winners of the Southern Premier South final, which is Not Police v Poole Town, the following weekend.

The last two clubs I recall resigning from the National League (as opposed to folding) were Canvey Island and Grays Athletic, and both were placed in the Isthmian League Division 1 North at Step 4. Grays had been relegated to National South anyway but Canvey hadn't. Canvey asked to be placed at...

They're funded by the Police Lottery, so they are sort of bankrolled by tens of thousands of subscriptions from people who take no interest and don't attend matches. Although I believe the funding has been cut back in recent seasons compared to a few years ago when they were first promoted to...

I don't see what relevance the dismal attitude towards away supporters at Woking has to the possibility of away fans turning up at Dulwich wearing surgical masks. Given that Millwall supporters were doing that at The Den 40 years ago I suspect anyone doing similar at a non-league match a couple...

I often wonder how many of these amateur sociologists have actually visited Dulwich. Have you even been there before? It's getting ridiculously tight now with four sides separated by just one point for the third relegation spot. (And that's assuming neither of the bottom two will pull off...

Are those opponents you've listed any less attractive to the average Stones fan than Gateshead, Solihull, Borehamwood or Braintree? I think most people go to see their own team regardless of the opposition, at least for league matches. A Leyton Orient or a Chesterfield might stimulate more...

It's only one winner from eight contenders across two divisions this year (in addition to the two champions, Dorking Wanderers and probably Weymouth), so it really is a lottery. I wouldn't mind Worthing or Carshalton, while it could be Taunton or Salisbury from the Southern South West Premier...

It did sound a slightly strange appointment. He's never worked at this level but happened to be living locally and was available. It didn't require anything sensational, just a couple of wins to keep a distance from the bottom three. They conceded the winner very late today at home to fellow...

To be fair they were already in freefall before he showed up. Just 11 points now from the last 21 matches including two wins in a week at the start of January. Only 5 points from the last 14 games and they have a tough run in. Today's abandonment at Truro could be crucial.

Disastrous performance from Dulwich, 4-0 down by half time away to an Oxford City side that had lost its last 6 at home. To make matters worse Hungerford scored twice after the 87th minute to win at Billericay and reduce our lead over the bottom three from 7 points to 4.

I guess Johnson is accustomed to managing at a higher level where you only really trade players in the summer with a bit of tinkering in the January window, whereas Dowson has mostly managed smaller clubs where non-contract players come and go at any time of the season before the transfer...

It's getting very tight down there, with the early strugglers picking up points and a few additional teams getting sucked in. Dulwich haven't won away since October and this week we visit Oxford City who've lost their last 6 at home, so one of those sequences must end. I think we'll be OK with...

Reports say they're staying at Treyew Road "for the foreseeable future": https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2019-03-09/contracts-exchanged-as-cornish-pirates-take-over-truro-city/

They have consecutive home games against Wealdstone tonight then Hungerford on Saturday, followed by their remaining game in hand at St Albans next Tuesday. The bottom three have all shown signs of making a fight of it recently, while Eastbourne and Hampton have both failed to win since early...

Actually none of the top eleven won. Highest placed winners were Slough in 12th, who beat lowest placed losers Hemel in 13th. Amazingly the bottom three were playing the top three, and achieved two wins and a draw. Dulwich got a vital win under the circumstances to avoid getting reeled in by...
