[Lefty]

Im still in dreamland!!

Quite a few local games still which is good. What one is the furthest do you reckon??

[Linneycifc]

Oh! No! Sutton, Harrow and Hendon!!

[ronin]

Dover,Margate and Ramsgate are probably the furthest at 70-80 miles.

[Matt H]

Looking at the map on another's site it seems Cambridge is the furthest north, with Hastings furthest south.

[Canvey Fan 1926]

Some good teams there, bit of a shame that 2 of the biggest supported clubs have gone up though!

[YELLOW]

Horsham are ground sharing at Worthing now so that one could be the furthest.

Yeah, but Dartford and Dover have come up in their place, so hopefully attendances will be high.

[The Great Eckscape]

I see Cambridge City are planning to appeal against the ruling in regards to their ground grading that has seen them relegated.

[Ribbit]

Do you know what's wrong with their ground?

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

so ive heard its to do with building of extra stands and turnstyles and that they wont have them ready by the new season.

 

dont know how much of that is true tho...

That`s what i heard as well, apparently there was an ownership dispute which prevented the club applying for planning permission, now this has been resolved they can go ahead and complete the work.

I think they have a good chance of winning their appeal but then again it is an F.A. decision so anything could happen.

[Ribbit]

It looks like it'll be St Albans relegated if Cambridge win the appeal.

[YELLOW]

Weston Super Mare, Ribbit.

 

I expect if Cambridge City win their appeal, somebody from the Southern League would have to transfer over to make up the spare slot.

 

I would say that would be either Hitchin, Hemel Hempstead or possibly Farnborough.

[Mini Goose]

I heard Farnborough could be comming over,

 

another thing i heard is St albans are haivng the same problem with there ground as Cambridge city are.

 

They could possibly be joining us.

[YELLOW]

I spoke to a St Albans fan last night and he never mentioned anything. In fact we were talking about their fixtures next season.

[Mini Goose]

Just little something i heard.

 

I reckon Farnborough will pop over if Cambridge get what they want.

[LOS]

Please not Hitchin. I got bad memories of that place, plus its a fire-hazard-[****!!****]-hole. Possibly worst ground I've ever been to. Sounds like an idea for a new thread, but can't be bothered. Worst / Best grounds in non-league.

[The Great Eckscape]

Well out of them lot I have only been to

 

AFC Hornchurch, Billericay Town, Cambridge City, Carshalton Athletic, Dartford, Harlow Town, Harrow Borough, Hendon, Heybridge Swifts, Maidstone United, Sutton United.

 

So plenty of new ones for me next season!

 

My worst ever non league ground is Croydon - absolutely shocking place to watch football. Always likes going to Bedford Town for some reason.

[Ribbit]

I assumed it would be St Albans because they have finished in a relegation position, but it depends on what's happening with Cambridge as to whether they'll be relegated.
