Hello, my name is Luke and I give you a warm welcome to NLYT!
Here (well, you won't find them in the about section, but anyway...) you'll find top 10 lists, (very) occasional vlogs, transfer roundups, and basically anything football related!
Incorrect my friend , looking at date can forgive Wrexham but Turton ( Bolton) 1871 now play at Turton heights but original ground Chappel Lane oldest football pitch still in use (1830) to present .
2024 and Torquay are still at Plainmoor and look like they wont be moving anytime soon and Truro were ground sharing with Plymouth Parkway but are now at Gloucester city and the stadium for Cornwall looks like it wont be completed before at least the 28/29 season due to funding issues
No 4 looks like the stand at the central sports ground at Catterick, now sadly gone and covered in a car park and retail outlets. Anyone else remember it?
Merthyr are better off staying in England there in the 7th tier they have opportunities for cup runs in the F A Cup and F A Trophy. There doing well in the 7th tier also.
It is daft for clubs like St Albans to build a 6000 stadium when they average around 1000 or so. Better to make a 3000 with the option of expanding in the future. Having a quarter filled ground makes for a septic atmos and though some grounds are nice, they often come off as feeling like a school sports ground, such as Slough's new Arbor Park. Still Arbor Park is pretty good, the balcony areas etc.
This seems an effective way to start a totally new football club also. From scratch, to 'do a Dorking' and rise up - as well as, challenge the traditional 'chairman-millionaire' ownership - leadership ? A model with variations that has existed since the 1800s, let's be honest. Not a global ownership but members in the local community, pay a year membership and have the app.
6 years later Greenwich Borough: Folded South Shields: Northern Premier League (For Now) Hereford: National League North Billericay Town: Isthmian League Premier Ebbsfleet United: National League South (For Now) Salford City: League Two Eastleigh: National League Forest Green Rovers: League One (For Now) AFC Fylde: National League North (For Now) Lincoln City: League One
Watching this in 2023 it seems like only York and Gloucestershire stadiums are actually in use of the 10 unless I'm missing something? Kind of depressing.
Bucks Head. Team never been in football league 3 cantalever stand one part of a hotel built like the safe standing idea of last year. Still gets good sized crowds great atmosphere.Many turnstyles never used. Stepped Terracing like West Ham and Ipswich. Depending on the cup compidition or league you were allowed to bring your pint into a designated area. Great place for anti covid injections. Telford good and large catchment area. Thanks for interesting details but u didnt count the Dogs with there owners! Lol
