The Non - League thread

[Four Of Clubs]

.... rare Wednesday night outing for me up the M40 to watch .... Beaconsfield and Flackwell Heath in the Southern league Div 1 Central.

'Heathens' grabbed 2-1 wins against the 'Rams' in both league matches last season - as well as a B&B S-F win by the same score in March
- somehow 'missed' tomorrow's game off my m/w d/load of 'possibles' - really am slipping a bit in my dotage - but may well try that myself as there isn't too much else on.

Tonight (Tue) off to the Racecourse for the 'East Berksico' IL1-SC tussle betwixt The 'Yellamen' and the 'Moles'.
..... both sides lost their season openers: Ascot 0-1 at Littlehampton on Sun PM and Binfield whumped 1-4 by Horndean at Stubbs.

Last night (Mon) nipped across to the SB for Bracknell 1-1 Uxbridge - pretty dull insipid encounter
- newly promoted visitors grabbed a barely deserved 2nd half lead beyond the hour - only for recently returned 'Legend' Seb Bowerman, to cut in and drive a shot into the top corner from range, as the game entered the last 10'.

Still changes underway there - a fancy media/board room been put up behind the dugouts and the small seated stand has gone from over that side. The new-ish seated 'stand' opposite is being worked on but is a quite narrow affair (only 3 rows of tip-ups with barriers) and has 'lost' it's roof. Everybody seems to stand up in it anyhow?
An elevated 'shed' / covered terrace has been erected down the far end for the 'Ultras' - plus drum.
....but it's a rotten ground for viewing with any size of crowd and the inside bar queue can be lengthy.
Att: last night was 724.

Eastleigh 0-2 Gateshead - triggering :-

Eastleigh Football Club can confirm that the Board has taken the decision to relieve First Team Manager Kelvin Davies and Assistant Manager Danny Butterfield of their duties with immediate effect.
Owner Stewart Donald said:
“This has been a very difficult decision, but ultimately the results and the level of performance we have witnessed are simply not acceptable. The Board and I believe the Club must act quickly in order to set the right tone for the season and to ensure we give ourselves the best possible chance of success.”

We thank Kelvin and Danny for their efforts during their time here and wish them well in their future careers.

Further details regarding interim arrangements will be communicated in due course

As Victor Meldrew would say “ i don’t believe it !!!”
Egham 2- 1 up on 78 mins. 2 players chasing the ball by the touch line career into the lino sending him flying and breaking his ankle in the process.
Ambulance called. 45 mins later still not arrived and match abandoned !!!

Camberley Town FC have been given permission to upgrade their Krooner Park ground including a new 3g pitch.

[Four Of Clubs]

Camberley Town FC have been given permission to upgrade their Krooner Park ground including a new 3g pitch.

...presume that may take some time to install - it usually does and they'll be looking to 'lodge' elsewhere for a spell? Plenty of options within a few miles - will also affect their own 'lodgers' too (Bagshot were still there I think in spite of being relegated back to County Level)
- hope it progresses faster & further than their 'rumoured' bar upgrade/re-fit - can't say I've noticed much(any ) improvement since that was first mooted about 5-6 years ago??
