Totally agree I can’t see Maidstone challenging for the title either!

Marty Stevens has joined Forest Green Rovers on a 3 year contract. It’s an undisclosed fee but with FGR having a £25k bid laughed off previously and Peterborough wanting an unrealistic £250k, I would imagine the fee is nearer £100k.

His brother ain't bad either  ?

Billericay lost at home today. Beaten 1-2 by Boreham Wood with new signing Rhead  unimpressive

Not sure where you got that information from Adrian but a quote from interviewer and manager after the game 'Matt Rhead had a fantastic debut and won everything in the air'

[Reading Rebel]

The Aldershot forum reckon Matt Rhead is a 'physical lump' who likes nothing more than intentionally hurting other players.

With a bit of luck he'll be injured before we play them.

[Irishadrian]

RR I read what was a comparison of the two teams big signings Tshimanga and Rhead  where Rhead was considered poor but that's only one game  we need to look again after 6 games or so to see if Tamplin/Wheeler have messed up again !

Or whilst we play them!

Final player signings for squads seem to be happening every day.

Chelmsford have signed a right back from Welling called Jordan Gibbons. Dartford have signed midfielder Amos Nasha from Chelmsford, who played 4 Europa League qualifying games for Tottenham!

One surprising move [to me anyway] is that the ex Maidenhead,Chesham,Banbury winger Ravi Shamsi has been signed by Leamington in the National North. I'm surprised no one took a chance on him in the National South.

Talented player who lives in London.

I take it you mean Ravi Shamsi. I thought he would have been picked up by someone like St Albans or Hampton fc.Of the few games I've seen him play, I thought he was a livewire, bit lightweight but does create chances.

Does seem a bit odd that although Ravi Shamsi lives in London he's gone from Banbury to M'head and has now by-passed clubs a lot nearer to home to sign for Leamington.

On the eve of the new season Billericay have released experienced striker Adam Cunnington and defender Josh Urquhart.

 

[Stuntman Mark]

Cunnington has signed for Dartford. 

[GlenSTFC]

Cunning shot by the Darts ?

Not surprised as Dartford were short of strikers.

Just read in one of the locals that ex-rebel Gavin James, has been recruited by Burnham FC for the current campaign.

[Longshot]

Gavin James played for Burnham today, They were beaten 3-0 at home by Fairford Town.

[Guest Wycombe Rebel]

Surely he’s better than that level

[SloughFlyer]

His brother Ashley is/was the captain at Burnham. Will be able to tell you more next week as due to evening commitments will be taking in Burnhams game.

Mick Woodham has resigned forthwith from Windsor. Wonder what has gone on there?

[Bernie Gogan]

Windsor looked pretty toothless at Binfield on Monday. No lack of effort, but a lack of quality particularly from midfield to attack Nearly 300 in attendance but not a great game. Woodham was missing, now we know why.
