A couple of non league snippets

[Holyport Rebel]

I'm thinking this hasn't got much to do with football on a football forum but here goes anyway.😀

If you just watch Netflix or Amazon Prime or ITVX or Youtube or suchlike YOU DO NOT NEED A TV LICENCE.

If though for example Amazon Prime  had a Premier League match broadcast live or a rugby international  broadcast live you wouldn't be able to watch it, cos it's live.

How would they know if you were to watch normal TV channels on your TV ?

I don't think they can know.

I don't believe for a second the stuff about their TV detector vans.

I follow the rules though.

I've just seen this on Kettering Town's Twitter/X feed. It reminds me of when we used to do this at the Polish Club many years ago (I don't recall the entry fee including sausage & chips though). Looking at their league position (they're out of the relegation zone in the Southern League Premier Central only because of the demise of Nuneaton Borough), a second successive relegation (this would be back to Step 4) is a possibility.

A reminder to us all that, no matter how big a name or well supported a club is, the fact that you've been there once and recovered doesn't mean you can't end up there again very quickly!

I don't understand the logic of moving from one dodgy pitch to another unless it's to do with money.

Statement from Taunton Town 3 hrs ago says that chairman Kevin Sturmey is currently sick " and will be for the forseeable future"   !?!

I thought it was possibly to do with Plymouth Parkway having played only 23 games so far this season (they still have 19 to play in just over 2 1/2 months)?

Tauntons ground is now meant to host 20 games in 56 days according to one of their supporter pages  No way!

[Irishadrian]

As you would expect Tauntons game with Maidstone has already been called off  more heavy rain in the area (I live in a TA postcode) and the pitch is a bog. Very unlikely imo that Tuesdays game with Chippenham will go ahead!

Worthing striker Ollie Pearce scored another hat-trick yesterday in their 4-1 win at Weymouth.

This gives him 32 goals scored in 31 games so far this season.

Worthing had 2 players red carded in this game!

I think their second red was on about 97 minutes.

Since the last postponement  weve had  long bouts of rain on both Sunday and Monday so no surprise at all there.

[SloughFlyer]

Somebody posted a comment on twitter under the postponement saying "at this point it would be more of a shock if a game at Taunton was on".

Edon Pruti  moves from Hartlepool to Farnborough.

[Irishadrian]

With the consent of the FA and both clubs the Bishops Stortford v Coalville FA trophy game will be played tonight at Aveleys ground  Stortfod pitch still an unplayable mess.

Something's not quite right as he's again back in the National League South, and can't hold down a place in the National League having been part of the squad that got relegated from League Two. It seems only yesterday he left us for Brentford and seemed destined for greatness!

😲😲😲 How the mighty can fall!
