not surprised at sholing  a very tough side to beat as we found out ., but cannot understand why in previous seasons so i have heard they will not take promotion, though i have also heard that the rules have now changed this year take promotion or get relegated,  so i've heard.

[Irishadrian]

The most remarkable thing about their season IMO is that all season long they haven't had a position lower than first 

[GlenSTFC]

Have they actually confirmed they’re accepting promotion this time? Their ground is basic so I’m guessing from previous rejections it’ll be down to that/finances. IF they keep the team together there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be pushing for promotion again.

Woking has signed Kieran Cadogan on loan from Billericay.

Well done to Chertsey Town today, 5-3 penalty shoot out win and into the FA Vase final

[Reading Rebel]

Looking at the evo-stik south premier division it does look a distinct possibility that we will be again locking horns with Weymouth next season.

Remarkably we could also be facing Kings Langley who occupy the last play-off place, 6 points ahead of Poole with only 5 games to go.

Salisbury walloped already relegated Staines 7-1 with Floody not getting on the score sheet and subbed on 63 minutes.

Both Dobbo and Dylan Kearney on the bench for Sutton on Saturday due to traffic chaos on M25 and not arriving at the ground until two minutes to 3.

Weymouth beat Met Police 4-0 in front of 1,153 and are now 5 points clear with 5 games to go. 

North Ferriby Utd who were FA Trophy winners in 2015 and National North champions in 2016 have gone bust and no longer exist. 

[Irishadrian]

Sad news re North Ferriby  Wound up on 15th March and needed to win their next game to avoid  relegation Several local teams have offered free admission to anyone producing a North Ferriby  season ticket

Hungerford Town's Chairman Secretary and Treasurer have all quit effective the last game of the season

[Curtis]

What is the logic behind making an announcement like that when your club is in a relegation battle?

[Irishadrian]

Curtis  One of the proposals at the meeting was that Hungerford should ask for a voluntary drop to a lower level 

[GlenSTFC]

The logic is that they’re in a desperate financial situation and by broadcasting it far and wide it may assist them in finding new investment. Considering their chairman (plus 2 other club officials) is leaving at the end of this season it’s obviously an urgent matter that can’t be left until the end of the season.

[Curtis]

And you don’t think that:-

1. the announcement might have a negative impact on the manager & players?

2. a new investor or owner will likely want some certainty about what level the club will be at next season?

I would have thought they would have delayed for a few weeks or been more discrete.

And if they are that desperate, didn’t the OWNA FC deal with Hednesford collapse?

[GlenSTFC]

1. Have a look at their recent form...

2. They’re 2 points above safety so have a decent chance of staying up, giving them the best possible chance of investment.

If you read their forum the Hednesford fans were celebrating that deal didn’t go through. It sounds very shady and many who bought into it didn’t realise they’re £50 investment didn’t give them any power which seems misleading to what was said previously. 

[Reading Rebel]

Happy for Hungerford to survive because it's not far to go or to get relegated because of their poor pitch and poor facilities?

TBH they've been punching above their weight for a few years now and with the gates they get they will continue to struggle with the costs involved in playing at a high level.  

Unless someone comes in with money to burn why would any business man pump money into Hungerford?
