24th: Welling United (Promotion 100/1, Relegation 5/1). The Wings sealed a return to the top flight of non-league football by clinching the then Blue Square Bet South title by 4 points ahead of Salisbury City and in doing so ended a 13 year exile. Jamie Days side were impressive, scoring 90 goals and conceding just 44. Going forward, the return of Loick Pires from Woking, where he scored just twice in 18 games, could be an important factor in the fight for survival should he recapture the form that earnt him the move to Woking from Welling two seasons ago. Ross Lafayette and Kiernan Hughes-Mason will provide stiff competition for the attacking role. Defensively, former AFC Wimbledon centre back Fraser Franks and second longest serving player Loui Fazackerly will be called upon to build upon the solid defensive unit that was in place for last years triumphant campaign. Questions will remain over whether they have the quality to keep their heads above water, they certainly possess talented individuals who, on their day, will be capable of firing their team to safety. However I think it is a tough ask and although a final position of 24th may be harsh on the Conference South champions, I think that they will just miss out in what will be a close relegation battle. They open the new campaign away at Wrexham in what will prove to be a difficult encounter, reflected in the early odds of 11/2 for a Wings victory.
Well I think there are about 8 teams that are similar to us.....those are the games we must get something from...If we do that plus a few other results we should ne ok...or thats the plan. All they are doing is looking at the budget etc and taking it from there...For those of you that like a little fiver here or there it could be a lucrative season following the Wings
