    2020/21 National League North

    We really need a decent 2nd striker - so hope you are right about Chambers. Flowers seemed like he needed to grow up - hope the Irish experience has done that for him. How are Kidderminster looking? Is it worth you staying full-time- coming 15th last year suggests your not getting much...

    2020/21 National League North

    Think the compressed time-frame will count against Brackley - we always operate with about 12-13 trusted players and 3 or 4 makeweights so don't think we'll cope well with the midweek games. Midweek away travel also an issue... Signed 3 players, Ashley Chambers (Mf/St) from Kiddy, Harry Flowers...

    Macclesfield down, Stevenage reprieved

    Doubt it. Would reduce our travelling by about 500% though.

    National League play-offs

    PS - maybe we could make better use of the loan system... as several of the Gateshead squad were loaned in league players, perhaps we could learn a lesson here?

    National League play-offs

    Rebuild? I fear it will 10 out of the same starting 11, we'll just lose the 4 or 5 bench-warmers we do every year, and replace them with another half a dozen who are not good enough to start and won't be trusted as subs. That's been the pattern for 3 years. I don't want to grumble too much, 3...

    Bollocks. 6th playoff campaign - lost them all. We didn't look very good...

    York have announced they have 24 players available for selection in the playoffs. That's 14 more than Brackley seem to have....

    Indeed - yet judging from some of the other sides funding raising to be able to play (e.g. Chester) it's costing a fair bit of money to compete...

    National League play-offs

    Anyone know what the Brackley - Slough result was? Anyone any idea what the Brackley team was or who we have got signed up? You'd think the club website might be able to tell us one or two details wouldn't you... If open air theaters are now open, couldn't the grounds open with a reduced...

    National League play-offs

    Still only know of 10 players who've we've resigned. Could be a very very thin squad for playoff games - if you know you were / were going to be released, being reengaged now for the playoffs only wouldn't exactly be motivating. Sounds like a lot of costs involved - pay the squad for 5...

    2019/20 National League North

    Anyone any idea what's happening with the playoffs / dates etc. The main story on the Brackley website is an old person's toilet roll challenge... I'm not learning much from that.

    10 players I know of. I'm sure we could drum some more up from somewhere... but really not sure it's worth the money and effort given the odds

    50K? Given our playoff record of failing 5 times out of 5 I genuinely don't think it's worth the bother for Brackley. I'd rather we were around to try again in the future rather than chucking such a large amount at a 1 in 6 chance, and risk the budget / future of the club. If anyone can give...

    2019/20 National League North

    Fair enough. There are a lot of entries around the internet listing you as a phoenix club however that need editing. Is this the same for Halifax, as their delightful fan on here always insists (I think - although frankly I don't bother reading what he writes anymore) they are not a phoenix...

    2019/20 National League North

    From the BBC: "Darlington 1883 will play in the National League North next season after sealing the Northern Premier League Premier Division championship. It is the third promotion in four seasons for the club, who formed after the demise of Darlington FC in 2012." Why - if you are the same...

    Perhaps - but we're not in the heady heights of divisions which get a Wembley final

    We're 5/5. Have reached the final three times... lost them all. Reaching the final is no consolation.

    Denied a chance of promotion... as are everyone else in the playoffs... I do understand your frustration, but if only one goes up how can it be York and not King's Lynn? (even though if the season had played out I think you would have won! - King's Lynn were collapsing). You simply can't do it...
