Welcome from FC Halfax Town this league has 3 kinds of clubs ex football league, bank rolled clubs, and proper non league clubs at the top of their game. You need to sort out your owner problems before you have a chance of getting back.
Best away trip will be Solihufll moors the ground is crap but it's proper non league and the people who run it are great.
The away support from the southern clubs is awful maidenhead brought 19 to the shay.Oh the refereeing standard is shocking even the commentators on by sport continually say how bad it is.
Best thing about it is it's a lot easier to go away less restrictions you just turn up.

To be clear, each club get around 6k for a tv appearance. Not to be sniffed at. 😂

The downside is that the amount that stay at home to watch it instead of going to the match swallows that 6k

I will settle for having a team to watch and that's a doubt for me at the moment!

Other than a few decent away trips and a few me grounds it’s absolutely gut wrenching to think how far we’ve fallen and we will be playing this lot next season..Boreham Wood?! Ffs

[Tha Knows...]

Can we drink beer in our seats at NL games?

😂 I don't know why I'm laughing at this because we are in a rate mess! Nonetheless, it had me in stitches...

Since our fall into non league, two things have really surprised me: 1. Just how supportive local team's fans have been..I'm talking Wednesday, Blades, Barnsley, Rotherham, even some Stags. 2. How welcoming you lot from non league have been. Cheers for making the effort.

Only if you're sneaky.

Given almost everyone has said the same about the football required to succeed it probably makes sense to listen.

I don't hear and read much sympathy from our neighbours and to be honest, I would not expect it. If the ball was on the other foot there wouldn't be from us.

Although far more complex, it would appear from a distance that we have lived above our means and have paid the price.

Ah, Boreham Wood, The club who charge visiting clubs a premium to allow radio commentary of the game to be transmitted. Yes, I kid you not. Some clubs rightly tell them to fook off.

Don't think the away ends have seats - neither do the bogs

Hi there folks, Wrexham AFC fan here welcoming you all to the footballing wilderness. It’s eleven seasons for us next season, time really has flown. It doesn’t get any easier either.
Tip. Forget any idea of being the big fish in this division, it counts for nowt. Butchers, bakers, candlestick makers will take great delight in smash and grab raids for the points at your place, aided by a diabolical standard of refereeing.
Away support numbers of between 0 and 100 are commonplace. Oh and the added bonus of entering the FA Cup at the 4th round qualifying stage and being knocked out by a bus stop from the back of beyond.
On the plus side, BT Sport cover the division really well showing many games live.

Not surprised its took you 11 yrs you were always crap when you were in the League.

[moondog]

I think it's almost certain our first game will be televised

Agree about the refs. Every NL or NL north game Ive seen has had either a prima donna or an easily intimidated kid in charge.

Don't be a plonker. They weren't exactly J Arthur when they got to 6th Round of cup in 97 were they? Brian Flynn always had them playing an attractive game

Thanks for this RubyRed. You remind me of the POWs who greet Richard Attenborough at the prison camp in "The Great Escape"
Now, how often do the Stewards at Dover search for tunnels?

We are not a big fish in the non league pond whilst ever carson/allen are running our club, we are a sitting duck in hunting season.
