No idea whats going on in the National Leagues but Altringham, Braintree and Gateshead have just finished serving embargoes. However Ebbsfleet, Fylde, Aldershot, Halifax, Hornchurch and Morecombe currently have embargoes in place. Not ideal for their supporters.

Seems they are moving to Redbridge next season. FA have indicated only 2 senior clubs allowed to play at same ground. As Parkside has Aveley, Cannons Wood and Hashtag one had to go.

Looks like our counterpart step 3 league in the North will be running with 21 teams this coming season. Newly promoted Widnes have withdrawn from the league.

Squarevanmanthesecond · Squarevanmanthesecond

New entry at step 6 SCEFL Division 1. Pretty sure this is GB10 but the ground isnt upto SCEFL standard from what I see driving past. Anyone know if they are sharing for next season?

According to BBC website theit sponsorship of the National League ends after the playoff on Sunday. I had not realised they had sponsored for 11 years then remembered I still have a t shirt with us as Blue Square South winners.

I have had a request from a chap reasearching Currie Coaches of Bexleyheath. He is trying to find out if a Mr Hurley or a Mr P Currie of this firm were ever directors of Bexley United or Bexleyheath and Welling. A long shot I know but if anyone can remember this far back please PM me.

See the National League has expressed concern about Southend and have requested a bond of £1 million to be held in escrow. As was said on National Forum if this had been a small club the league would have kicked them out by now.
