The survey, which will run until mid-July, will help form a picture of the attitudes of spectators across the whole of non-league, and allow clubs and league administrators to plan with more certainty ahead of a resumption of matches. Fourth-from-bottom Bedford Town should be relatively secure already on 30 points, but will be keen to finish off the season in decent form. The Eagles, who journey to the War Memorial Athletic Ground tomorrow to play 12th-place Stourbridge, are another team to have had a change of management – twice – this season following the departure of promotion-winning Gary Setchell, then Paul Smith after a very short spell and now Graeme Tomlinson.
Manager Brett Whaley said: "I’m delighted to get Sam on board. We’ve been wanting to bring a forward in that can stretch sides with their pace and Sam can definitely do that. When the crisis first began in March, the Government did assist. Grants were made available to many of our clubs under the hospitality sector through local government and many clubs were able to furlough staff and players, which was a huge help. Further assistance has come via the Football Foundation. year-old goalkeeper Luke Pearson was with Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division side Norwich United last season and has previously played for Fakenham Town and King's Lynn Town Reserves. The FA are working on various scenarios as to when and how it affects the programme of games, this was explained as: Although the FA will be taking the lead in producing club guidance information, we need to ensure that guidance is well informed. We’re delighted to be working with the FSA and the Non-League Paper on this to ask fans for their thoughts, and we can’t do without them.It is the FA’s ambition still to run the FA Cup & FA Vase in full, BUT that may not be possible and certainly with the FA Cup they are contractually bound to have the FA Cup 3rd round on the opening weekend of January, so the dates and numbers of earlier rounds may be affected by that.
In 2019 Ilkeston Town lost their first ever game against Wisbech in a 2-1 home defeat. They won away from home 2-0 in January before the season was curtailed due to the Covid epidemic. In this second game the Robins had made seven changes to their line upon from their earlier defeat. It was Squires first and only appearance for Ilkeston and Alex Marshall’s last ever game in the red of Ilkeston. There are several teams in this league who could make a playoff challenge. As well as the ones that finished in the top five last season, I think there are eight others who could push them.The game is subject to any advice from the FA or the Government regarding the Coronavirus pandemic.
Consideration is being given to do away with Replays in both Cup & Vase to aid fitting in league fixtures. The decisions made by the leagues, in consultation with The FA and of course with each other, were difficult, purely because there wasn’t a good decision for everyone. It was about trying to do the best of a bad job but also trying to get some uniformity throughout the National League System and working together. I sincerely felt for some clubs, including some in our own league. That said, we have a good opportunity to extend our winning sequence at the NMG. Since losing to Chasetown we have won five out of five matches scoring 22 goals and conceding only one. A firm commitment was also made to having a pre-season, though the FA declined to say how long that period would be. Belper Town will return to training on 11th July after the new season moved a step closer, writes Stephen Thirkill (Belper News)At the other end of the table, Tamworth’s lead at the top of the table was reduced to three points as a consequence of their draw at the Orbital Fasteners Stadium and a 3-0 defeat to Stourbridge the previous midweek. The Lambs make the short journey down the A1 to Barwell, who beat Diamonds last weekend and are now 14th. The FA National Game have had a 38% cut in funding. This will impact all NLS leagues who will no longer receive FA Development funding, but they will still receive Administration grants at current level. Following their 5-2 defeat to the Highwaymen last weekend, Neil Reynolds will be looking for a response from his FC United of Manchester side as they travel to Basford United, who have only won one of their 11 games so far. We want to know what is important to you and what the clubs and League can do to make you more comfortable. After this meeting we should know the teams in our league. (It should be the same as last year unless there are any sideways movements)
Kidsgrove Athletic are delighted to announce that their first pre-season friendly for the 2020/21 season has been confirmed. Loughborough Dynamo midfield duo Charlie Young and Rob Norris have committed their futures to the club. The FA strongly recommend a phased return to competitive football, with no fixtures taking place before the end of July.img] https://static.wixstatic.com/media/192ee2_7db5cefc94184ed9b1b8a742767e7ce7~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_780,h_601,al_c,lg_1,q_90/192ee2_7db5cefc94184ed9b1b8a742767e7ce7~mv2.jpg[/img] Segregation will not be in place for this fixture with Lions fans able to choose their viewing spot as we line up in our all purple away kit.
