Re: Early kick offs in general…

I’m watching the local news (I live down South) this morning. Southern non league clubs are negotiating to give them the option to kick off early on Saturdays as an energy saving option. This makes absolute sense to me, anyone know if this is being discussed in the Northern leagues? Isthmian League...

He’s only 28, which is a bit mental. Exciting signing for sure, he’s either going to flop or be a huge success. I can’t imagine a middle ground. I think you’ve got it spot on.

Mitch Cook at Northampton on a beautiful spring day in April 1991, not just the best goal I’ve ever seen Darlo score, but probably the best goal I’ve ever seen ‘live’ (ie at a match I attended) by any team.

While we're talking about ex-DFC players, League play offs and so on, David Stockdale (now 36, doesn't time fly) has been hailed as the best keeper in League One after his saves helped Wycombe into the League One play off final.

I find it hard to believe that Banbury will be in the Conference North next season, as it will probably take longer to get there, than to London.
Slightly further north than Gloucester, Oxford City, and Bishop's Stortford (the latter two former members of NLN) but still a nonsense of course.
