Not related to the game in question at all, really, but King's Lynn are playing Kettering today and my Dad always used to put down a game between two teams starting with the same letter as a draw in the treble chance.
He never won anything, needless to say, though he did it every week of every season for about 50 years.

He did it for 50 years. That sounds like proof that some people never learn.

I think it just became a habit, just for interest. The thought of winning never entered his head, bit like me and the lottery.He did it for 50 years. That sounds like proof that some people never learn.

I stopped doing the lottery when a guy on my street won £6 million-lightening can’t strike twice.
Also why I’m not expecting a repeat of the glorious Clough era at Forest.

I should have stopped week 2 when one of the security guys where I worked won half a million. I'd have been a lot better off. It took them increasing the number of draws per week to get me to stop playing regular, and putting up the stake to get me to stop even playing occasionaly.

King's Lynn Town bounce back! After AFC Fylde looked pretty much nailed on for the promotion spot, the Linnets come back with a couple of wins and a Fylde slip up means the Blue and Gold are top by a point with just a handful of games left.
So I suppose we should not write off NFFC chances yet, either, as the unexpected can happen.

Just been to St James’ Park to watch the mighty Highwaymen (Morpeth) beat down-on-their-luck Blyth Spartans in the Northumberland Senior Cup Final. It may look like no one was there but the East Stand was pretty busy - 2400 in attendance.

If anyone else on here follows the fortunes of Basford United, you'll be interested to know that they have been moved sideways back to the Northern Premier League for next season, along with Ilkeston Town. Local derbies against Ilkeston, Worksop, Matlock, with trips to Macclesfield and FC United of Manchester.

Thought you would be watching Long Eaton, they are now playing at the same level as Basford after consecutive promotions and don’t play on 3G

I wasn't aware of that - thanks! They've been put in the Southern Premier (Central) which is the league Basford were in last season and have just been moved sideways out of. A shame they couldn't have been in the same league for a proper local derby.

The FA have some weird ways of placing teams at times, I follow Carlton and the ere playing in the Northern Premier League Midlands against teams from Birmingham, Leicestershire and Cambridge until 2 years ago. The were then put into the Eastern Division so now play all their games on the East coast going North travelling to Newcastle 5 times last season, with a 346 mile round trip to Ashington to look forward too this season.
LE were in the same division last season and did very well to get promoted having to play 2 play off matches against teams from Newcastle, both away from home too. Although Worksop stormed the league and won it with about 6 matches to go

Has he singed yet?
Not sure how they define where certain clubs end up in regional leagues, though I think midlands clubs can end up being either depending on how many are making up the league already. Obviously Newcastle would have to be north and Southampton south, for example, but us middle england fellows get put all over the shop. In the days of a regional third division, I think Forest may have been in the southern league.

Yes, Third Division South.
Actually I was thinking about this the other day. King's Lynn are in National North, for example, so I suppose it's just a question of where you put the odd teams to get the numbers right. I was looking at the relegated clubs in the National League this season and I think they are going to have a job fitting in some of them to the correct regional league, so some poor sods are going to have quite long coach journeys.
I follow Whitby Town at that level and for years have enjoyed going to see them when they’re in the area.
I’ve often been baffled by the way the FA determines who plays in what league.
It’s a bit odd to me that promoted Long Eaton have gone to the Southern League swapping places with Ilkeston.
I could never understand why Stamford, 50 miles south of Ilkeston were always in the NPL but the right thing has been done finally to move them over to the South

My brother is involved with Cleethorpes Town in the same league.
They had a disappointing mid-table finish after sacking 2 managers-probably a lesson there........

I know that Nuno that I know that Nuno that I know
Do they play in Grimsby?

They play at the Linden Club-which I believe is just in Grimsby (close to Old Clee).
I had a look at the facilities last year-I’d say a decent set up for level 8 of the pyramid.

It's mad how they work these leagues out. Obviously it depends who is where promotion/relegation wise but we now have a situation where Gloucester City and Bishop's Stortford play in the National League North, with a trip to Blyth Spartans to look forward to. It makes the idea of regionalising the leagues feel pretty pointless.

Being a Gloucester diaspora I still follow Gloucester City albeit remotely. They were in the Southern League but requested to move back to the Northern League. Gloucester is on the M5 so I think it's easier to travel up North than to the sides in the South East. They are the most Southernly side in the division though

The set-up from National League North/South downwards still needs a lot of work.
Next season Long Eaton United will play in the Southern Premier Central whilst Ilkeston and Basford move back to the Northern Premier. All three should be playing in the same division.
Last season it was either Ilkeston or Basford who had to play away in midweek at Kings Langley (Near the M25) whilst also having to make a trip to Leiston which isn’t far north of Ipswich.
Personally I’d go as far as splitting the National League into north and south which to make the numbers up, would automatically pull the best clubs from the leagues below up, but it also means that leagues below could become even more regionalised that what they currently are.

I wandered down the park in my brother’s village just now and stood on the touch line and watched the pub team play another pub team.
3-3 draw with 6 excellent goals. Draught beer available alongside the pitch. What a way to spend 90 minutes.
