Rushden & Diamonds lost once again today to Lye town, only 339 fans turned up to watch their inevitable slide back to the county league, shame really after the excitement of the Griggs years. 0-4 for what it's worth. 1 -

I have become accustomed to it mate0 -
Went to Ebbsfleet today. Terrific second half performance. Going to the wire in that league.3

Indeed it might have been so but you fail to mention that they were playing against 10 men for all but 5 mins of the match....Chippycafc said:Went to Ebbsfleet today. Terrific second half performance. Going to the wire in that league.

Plymouth Parkway moved their home game yesterday to neutral Yate FC....and it got called off. They've got to play 16 games in the remaining 6 weeks.0

Had he not whacked him down we would have likely scored and been 1 up after 5 min. They only got back into the game due to two defensive howlers just before half time. Never in it second half. Terrific turnaround by the fleet. Hope it continues.Fanny Fanackapan said:

Impressive 10-game form table for Welling.2 -
Dartford are completely out of form now. 1 point from the last 6 games, 4 points from the last 10 games, their form has dropped off a cliff.stonemuse said:

Having watched the Boxing Day game, when a poor Welling side were beaten by a mediocre Dartford side, I'm astonished at the divergence since then, with Welling now in playoff form.

It's mad to think Dartford, Havant and Eastbourne Boro (one of the richest teams in the entire National League apparently) could all be relegated this year. Boro should never have gotten rid of Beardy. He had three weeks to build a team, nobody was going to do a better job with that group of players than him.0
-
Not sure what's going on with Eastbourne, new owner came in promising the world and loads of stuff about " analytics based models" and appointed Beardy , sacked Beardy and I assume paid Cheltenham a fair wedge for Adam Murray and it's not clicking for them at all.1

It was only 3 years ago that Torquay were a penalty shoot out away from league two.
Next season they could be in the Southern league (i think that's the next league down).1 -
Just over a decade ago they lost the League Two Play-Off Final against Stevenage.Chris_from_Sidcup said:It was only 3 years ago that Torquay were a penalty shoot out away from league two.

He called me up a year ago and said he was buying a club and had a vision for it. Wanted the process to be filmed. He sent me the manifesto. I thought it was all quite impressive but I showed it to someone else who owns a club (!) and he thought the guy was mental lol it’s admirable what he’s trying to do but can’t happen as quickly as he wants.MarcusH26 said:Not sure what's going on with Eastbourne, new owner came in promising the world and loads of stuff about " analytics based models" and appointed Beardy , sacked Beardy and I assume paid Cheltenham a fair wedge for Adam Murray and it's not clicking for them at all.1 -
In non league football the difference in budget is enormous. That's why you get the likes of Joe Taylor playing for Ramsgate Part time and earning a full time wage.
Saw Joe Taylor score Goals for Cray Wanderers a few years ago when playing at Bromley's ground.
Some players have other income streams and don't need to go full time in the National League; only a few teams part time in NL,
Oxford City, Wealdstone and Dorking, I believe.
@JiMMy 85 do Dorking train twice in the mornings now and how has that affected the players with their other jobs ?

Well spotted, yes it all kicked off in the bar, keeper did have a shocker and didn't take constructive criticism well.BDL said:jonseventyfive said:Rushden & Diamonds lost once again today to Lye town, only 339 fans turned up to watch their inevitable slide back to the county league, shame really after the excitement of the Griggs years. 0-4 for what it's worth.Hang on, thats the game where the Keeper - new signing, let in 4, lost it with a fan in the bar after they told him he was crap, nutted him and then got sacked....0 -
At The Hive to watch Barnet Vs Eastleigh tonight.
In the Eastleigh team is Ben Reeves who's career seems to have declined rather quickly1 -
Welling’s great run continues2
-
Looks like an excellent point away for Welling tonight, 1-1 at in-form 4th placed Hampton and Richmond. Welling won the corner count 15-2 according to stats2
-
I Charltonised Barnet tonight in that they were great for one half and crap for the second. But somehow they held on.
As well as Ben "hair transplant" Reeves, Eastleigh also had Chris Maguire who was in the losing Sunderland team in the playoff final0 -
Just seen Truro's game got abandoned due to a serious injury. Hopefully the player is okay.
From Truro's perspective not sure how they fit in all their games. Been struggling to get any games on due to weather/pitches etc. they still have 13 matches left. The last day of the season is in 32 days.0 -

@JiMMy 85 do Dorking train twice in the mornings now and how has that affected the players with their other jobs ?In the NLS and the first season in the NL Prem Dorking were Tuesday and Thursday night, they switched to mornings at the start of this season. DW have to pay players extra for that - some are missing shifts or jobs, some are reducing their contracted hours. Some are just working crazy hours. Marc recently told them to reduce the amount of laptops and emails during training and coach trips to focus on what he pays them for.It’s a tricky inbetween stage before getting the budget together to go properly full time. At that point players will have to choose between their careers.The gap between the NL and the North/ South is huge because of all this. Way bigger than the NL to the EFL. Wealdstone are a great case in point - their lack of budget means they’ve had a lot of games called off this season and are now facing fixtures ecery few days for most of the remaining weeks. That means zero training and prep. Just games every 2-3 days. With a small squad lacking the fitness levels of the rest, you’d imagine they’re in a bit of trouble here.1 -
Indeed some players in non league have such good jobs that they refuse to go full time. Dartford legend Elliott Bradbrook had a good job in the City that he wouldn't give up. And if Dartford had gone up to the NL he would have left, due to the extra travel when compared to the NLS, which is bad enough with all the West Country games.soapboxsam said:In non league football the difference in budget is enormous.

Welling should have been home and hosed after that first 45.swords_alive said:Looks like an excellent point away for Welling tonight, 1-1 at in-form 4th placed Hampton and Richmond. Welling won the corner count 15-2 according to stats
Just a split second of jittery play gave them an equaliser.
Problem with corners is that they need to be worked on/practiced.
When you only have two mornings (sometimes one) for training sessions, these have correctly fallen down Wellings priority list. But yes, a lot of corners with unfortunately, no end product.
Second half pretty even.
Lovely ground Hampton.
£17 for an adult + under 18 was good value.
Might buy a house over there. Maybe a detached riverfront property……5 -
Joe Healy at Welling had a good city job and never went pro, when if you watched him, clearly could have.killerandflash said:
