I agree with Ferriby

Moors seems to have signed a.few but could fall like Worcester

Telford I think may not be as good as all these signings suggest but should still make Playoffs. They have good experience but whether theyll fly out the traps we'll havr to wait to see

What's the story with Ferriby - are they being bankrolled?

Yes Dave. Apparently the bloke who saved Hull City from administration is their money man...

Stockport will be there for sure unless reprieved - cos they are a mahusive club.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Histon up there as well. Could be the dark horses this year.

I reckon the main contenders other than us will be

Guiseley
Brackley
Telford
BPA
Harrogate
Solihull

Surprise package may be Leamington or NFU, there's always one.

Histon will get relegated (if they survive the AGM cup) along with Worcester and Stortford (if they dont get moved this year).

They will still have a decent squad and budget and do OK, maybe not quite as strong, top 5 still likely IMO.

They are devolving ground funds right Down bosh Wilson and walshaw gone and I reckon more to come but you maybe right

Telford will win it comfortably.

They are favourites right now but if and when others spend that will give more of a clue

I think it will be the closest league in years next season

To be honest - we should be going into the next season fearing nobody (certainly respect for the other teams)

My personal thoughts are, If we hit the ground running and get off to a decent start we can win the BSN next season "Yes we Can"

Let the rest of them worry about us.

Telford are renown for stuttering at different parts of the season (My local rivals so we want them dispatched)  ;)
Cmon Alty.

I think anyone finishing above Telford will probably win the league. They've got a good new manager and have made impressive signings nice and early.

I fully expect us to make the playoffs. Outside chance of the title.

So they will be fighting for the 4 play off spots after we win the league?

At the moment I just want us to win our first game. I can't remember the last time we did that. Luton, Ebbsfleet, Harrogate and Brackley all spoiled the opening of recent seasons and a good start will be vital.

oh first day blues lets hope we dont end up bitter and twisted like the first game last year . i am positive for this  forthcoming season and i too think its going to be very tight a good start is imperative. if we fall behind early on we wont catch up this time.

my bet for first game is lamington away which should be a piece of cake ( can you see what i'
ve done there)

I suspect that any team that finishes ahead of Brackley will have a decent chance of winning the league.

I'm rather hoping that we might be the team to finish above Brackley ;)

I expect Hednesford Town to perform well with a settled side with quite a few good players. Also ex Telford manager Rob Smith is well versed in non league.

What about the latest comedy club Oxford City and their billionaire owner. I heard they plan to sign Ronaldo, Messi and Bale.
