Havant's season tickets are £99.99 and after 4 weeks into their 'project 1,000' they have sold 311.

Early bird expires 7th July. Tickets then increase to £184 for adults. Car Parking is also £75

They will obviously sell a lot more at that price but whether they sell anywhere near 1,000 is another matter.

Wealdstone have signed full back Nick Arnold from Aldershot.

Sounds a good signing until you read that he's been out for nearly 2 years with a series of injuries ?

Maidstone United have sold 800 season tickets so far so must be on course to break 1,000 which is very impressive considering their relegation. I wonder how many we’ll shift, I think last season was in the 400’s.

I suppose the minimum requirement is an increase on last seasons figure to show some sort of progression.

If we can reach 500+ I think we'll be doing well.

 

[GlenSTFC]

If we averaged just under 800 last season at the price our ST’s are why should we not sell 700+? You only need to attend 12 of the 21 home games to have made it worthwhile. 

[GlenSTFC]

Steve King and Welling United ‘part ways’. Either he’s a got another job lined up or he’s been told the budget is being reduced to an amount he feels he can’t work with.

[cufcgeneral]

Dejon Noel Williams signs for Wealdstone. He was not very good on loan from Oxford when he was with Chesham.

Was he any better for you guys?

He was dreadful for us in the limited game time he had, but then had some success on loan at Gloucester afterwards.

He came to us on a months loan and I don't think he started a single game.

Only 19 but never showed anything to deserve a starting place.

Common sense say's you're right but I suppose parting with the money up front for various reasons must put some people off.

If we get to 700+ I'll be amazed.

I'd put money a reduced budget.

I wonder where Nassim L'Ghoul has gone?

[Reading Rebel]

The first player to leave Welling is defender Craig Braham-Barrett who has signed for Hemel.

[Reading Rebel]

Hemel have signed 22 year old midfielder/forward Isaac Galliford from Hitchin who has recently been capped for the England C team. 

 

[GlenSTFC]

At the moment, looking at the signings I’d put Hemel and Havant as front runners. Both have signed some very good players.

Not sure making all that many so called quality signings is necessarily a good thing.

I think I'd rather have a proven settled side that have added a couple of quality additions.

 

[GlenSTFC]

You mean like us RR? ?

[Reading Rebel]

Come to think of it and now you've mentioned it you could be right  ?

No surprise that Hemel have signed ex Concord keeper Sam Beasant and top keeper Laurie Walker has left.
