So Nuneaton Borough led 7-2 in the FA Youth Cup tonight with 30 minutes left but Halesowen came back and won 9-8. Surely the greatest turnaround of all time? 😰
This is such an average and lazy comment from
@chris_sutton73
who clearly doesn’t watch Non-League football. So many pitches are of a very high order through the work of full-time professional groundsmen or lower down the pyramid by hard-working volunteers.
BREAKING: The Step 5 and 6 seasons are to end immediately.
The FA Leagues Committee will now decide between PPG promotion/relegation or complete Null and Void of the 2019/20 season.
Four years ago this month North Ferriby United won the FA Trophy at Wembley.
Today they have been wound-up in court over an unpaid debt of £7,645.25. 😔

manager Jim Gannon surprised a County fan on his prom night and gave him a lift there with the National League North trophy!
What a story! 😂 After Fleetwood won the Conference title in 2012, during a match they passed a 50p coin around to decide who would get the first round in!
Everyone at The NLP would like to express their deepest sympathies to Justin Edinburgh’s family after his passing. We honoured Justin at our annual awards three weeks ago as our manager of the year. He was, and always will be, an absolute gentleman. A winner right to the end.
To the British Government and the Premier League,
NON-LEAGUE NEEDS YOU!
Without your intervention, clubs will cease to exist. Please don't forget us.
From Non-League football
In 2009, after seeing an advert in The Non-League Paper, Simon Weaver applied to become manager of Harrogate Town.
Today, he took the club into the Football League. 👏
BREAKING: Non-League Steps 3 to 6 have reached a consensus that the 2019/20 season will be ended with immediate effect and all results will be expunged.
This will mean that there will be no promotion or relegation of Clubs between Steps 3 to 6, or relegation from Step 2.
EXCLUSIVE: Over 60 Non-League clubs have signed an open letter to The FA calling for them to reconsider their decision of making the 2019-20 season null and void across Steps 3 to 7.

Following the restructuring of the National League System, ‘super’ play-offs are now needed at Step 3. The four play-off winners will meet in two separate ties to decide promotion. At Step 4, five of the seven play-off winners with the best points-per-game ratio will be promoted.

"If English football is serious about spreading the wealth, then promoting three teams from the National League would be a great starting point"
Should three teams should be promoted from the National League? 🤔

Tragic news out of Brisbane Road as Leyton Orient confirm manager Justin Edinburgh has passed away, aged 49.
Our thoughts are with the Edinburgh family and all staff at Leyton Orient.
Getting nasty at Ashton Gate as Hartlepool United fans invade the pitch. Some Torquay players were involved in confrontations. Both sets of supporters throwing bottles at each other. A sour end to a great final

Chris, don’t go down the ‘lighten up’ route. As soon as there’s a dodgy pitch in the higher leagues, pundits, many of them ex Premier League players, make throwaway comments like this and Non-League is the standard for the joke. Said in jest or not it’s an average comment.
Captains of the 24 National League clubs have signed an open letter calling for “urgent talks” with The FA and National League over the changes to Non-League contracts from next season👇
