There will be a very stark North/South split if Solihull do go up and with Kings Lynn having gone down - a complete void between Notts County (the southernmost of the northern teams) and Boreham Wood (the northernmost of the southern teams).

Less than ideal for Alty fans living in the Cotswolds

If you can afford to live there surely you can stretch to a chauffeur? 😂😂

Altrincham is one of the more expensive parts of the UK to live in also :)

That's one of the reasons why I can't afford to live there either! 😉

Someone recently mentioned the north / south split not being great in this league - I actually think it's been better in recent years, with all the money spinning big guns being based in the north too. And we get both York / Oldham now.

10 / 14 split with a yawning gap in between! - I bet the league will be glad the numbers are even for the Christmas / New Year pairings regardless of what happens in the playoffs.

Where have all the midlands clubs gone? Kettering / Kiddy / Telford / Tamworth / Nuneaton etc. Maybe we'll get one next year.

How many of those 'southern' clubs are in Greater London and the South East? Most of them I'd think.

Solihull 3-1 up after an hour.
I hope they go up, Chesterfield is a much better awayday if Solihull do go up they will have to sort out the parking and access plus LandRover  Jaguar  may want there land back

I make 14/24 next season being in the Home Counties in our league and 10 of those 14 under an hour from central London by train with Yeovil, Torquay, Maidstone (just) and Eastleigh being the exceptions. I still maintain Sutton’s title last season was massively aided by just how many local
Games they had.

I could have those of us living 10 miles from Swindon (nearest supermarket) but that sounds much less pleasant!

Only teasing you know, BA, cheer up, you've still got the Yeovil game. 😉

Yes. I keep thinking Chester might make a push for it as they're about three miles away but nearer bottom half again.
Vauxhall Motors used to be good only four or five miles to them.
I'm left with with Wrexham who are three times as close as Alty! 😉

If they keep tumbling, you could have Crewe next season....
