Gotta be a Telford v Southport final. I think Telford might win it.

From a footballing point of view it has to be Gateshead, or Alfreton. Telford and Southport are both very direct, and not good on the eye. We already have Histon and Kettering, to a certain extent, playing the long ball game in this division. No more, please.

Please let it be Gateshead, Chris my eldest should be going to Newcastle Uni in September, I can see a good weekend trip away next season, on the horizon.

Well done to all the Board, Management and Players for a great season, looking forward to next season and already applying for my season ticket for next year.

Have a great summer everybody!!

My head says it will be the Scousers but I hope not.
One of my reasons is that would be direct competition to Alty in the market for top class part time players.

Why not AFC Telford?

OK they play a direct style that is not the most attractive, BUT they seem to be a friendly club apart from the usual few idiots. They get good crowds, good away support. They have a good community commitment. Steve Jagielka is awesome.

Would love it to be Southport, or even Telford at a pinch - better visiting crowds to Alty and easier to get to. However, both these teams have gone backwards in recent weeks, so it's Gateshead or Alfreton for me.

Gateshead! It would be nice to have a BSP match within 100 miles of here :)

I beleive we can build on this season and push on for a top half finish next year.

But our first priority is to make sure four teams finish below us - to that end I propose clubs whos infrastructure and underlying support are not those of a conference club should come up (like Farsley and Lewes).  This rules out Southport and Telford, both of whom are big enough.  SO either Alfreton or Gateshead would do nicely.

In the BSS, Chelmsford would potentially be one of those money bag clubs that come up, play us twice early in the season, take 4 points from us and then do a Weymouth in the new year - a possible AGM cup win enabler!  Both Hamton & Richmond and Hayes & Yeading are small clubs, with H&R playing good football but H&Y (or at least H) having been a bogey conference club for a while.  Eastleigh might be big enough to hang around for a while.

AFC Wimbledon are here to stay I think and Tamworth are, well they are Tamworth: 17th to 24th

I think I'd be inclined to vote for Alfreton and Hayes & Yeading to come up from the feeder leagues.
