National League...things to know

[southendkid]

No transfer window

At least we won't have to deal with the disappointment of not signing a striker on deadline day next year.

 

[JB Shrimper]

Why?

I was joking

 

[Jassyd]

Barnet's new ground is OK

 

[Benfleet A1]

Who will be replacing Dover next season?

 

[rigsby]

Who will be replacing Dover next season?

I believe they are staying but with a 12 point deduction......Which begs the question will they do the same next season

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Who will be replacing Dover next season?

Dover could end up staying in the National league with maybe some form of points deduction, although it sounds like they will challenge a points deduction if it happens.

Is there a decent website to get info.about other teams/grounds etc in the NL?

They're starting on -12

The Football Ground Guide is always a good place to start for info on away grounds. Here’s their National League menu.

NL will not be as easy as some think.
It is very physical in that league and some of our players (if staying) will have to toughen up and it will be a fight for a survival.
I do think though with good planning and structure and with a cohesive squad it is doable

Tinks, I don't think anyone on here thinks it will be easy. That league is a nightmare to get out of. You can stay in it for years, as many good clubs have found out. A lot will depend on the budget as Phil Brown mentioned. We have just seen what happens when you get players in on the cheap, and release the higher earning, but better players. Quality, especially in the striker department, is crucial.

When were we last 12 points ahead of another club?

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Apparently, Wealdstone have a tidy little ground and a good set up.

This is the one I am looking forward to. First match I saw was Wealdstone v Hendon probably 1962/3 season. My grandfather took me. The ground I went to is now a supermarket and the Club had a nomadic existence for some years. However, they now play in Ruislip.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Actually there is another one still (which we had before)......a playoff final.

That's the only Final I'd be interested in.

 

[gatecrasher]

Seriously though, has anyone ever managed at this level on Championship Manager so they can give us a heads up about what to expect?

Mark Moseley backroom team have ...

 

[Jassyd]

One positive note..as Southend are one of the bigger clubs in the National League...expect to be on telly a few times next season.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

On the positive side Luton, Orient, Lincoln, Colchester Bristol Rovers and probably others I can't think of have made it back relatively quickly. If we feel bad, imagine being a Notts County fan. They were playing against the greats in the old League One as recently as 1995, went down to the National League in 2018/9 and look as though they'll be down there for at least another season.

You get a call on the Friday night telling you if there is a game and if it's away you get some vague directions to where the park is.

whose mum washes the Kit ??

Think the key thing to know is whether it be Sunday league or premier league - you need to score goals to win games of football.
