Chester get a nice boost ahead of the new season with a £1m donation from a local business bod. A couple of months ago they looked a bit of a basket case, but with the arrival of non-league's most famous power couple in the dugout and now this financial boost, they could actually be quite competitive.

Boston are being very positive/aggressive/exciting in the transfer market. The Pilgrims finished strongly last year and on their dealings so far will be strong candidates for promotion. Hopefully their Hereford away match doesn't clash with any GTFC matches in this part of the world.

Pretty ‘meh’ fixture list for York. Chorley away first game not the easiest start, Darlo for the Boxing Day/New Year turnabout. The one that’s whetted everyone’s appetite is Bradford away on Easter Monday. If the weather’s good and the beer tent is there, that could be a memorable one. Unless we somehow get in the play-offs, Telford get the honour of being the last ever visitors to Bootham Crescent.

I will miss the terrace at Bootham Crescent should the Mariners ever be in the same division as York again. I have fond memories of standing on it following Grimsby. Not because we won, just because it was great fun. In the same way I will miss Boston's club house and their new ground. Their new ground is also on the opposite side of Boston to the Skegness area where I travel from when home meaning it will take an hour at best to get to the new ground. With Skeg Town now back in the pyramid I fear my 'support' for Boston will waiver with the added distance, lack of club house, proximity to town centre and Skeg hopefully pushing on for the Northern Premier League.

It's progressing... unfortunately. Awful location, utterly pointless all-seated design flying in the face of all current popular opinion, and barring a bit of a surprise will probably still be hosting 6th-tier football next season when it finally opens. I can't imagine I'll be making as much effort to get through for home games as I have done in recent times; everything about the club just make it utterly demoralising being a York fan at present, never felt this low or disinterested by them.

It's a dreadful location. The road network is poor anyway and grinds to a halt in rush hour. Travelling to Saturday games will mean competing with shopping centre traffic whilst evening games will overlap with the evening rush hour. Either way expect the last few miles of your journey to be stop/start as you crawl your way into Monks Cross.

Hereford are good value there. Might be a struggle for Darlo and Blyth and (When You Wanna) FCUM.

Still genuinely think they do the odds for this league based on which teams they've heard of more than on any evidence of what might actually happen on the pitch.
Predictably underwhelming start from York on Saturday - seems from the reports that none of last season's issues have been fixed and it was just same old, same old, to no great surprise. Roll on the annual October managerial change.

Southport have four defeats from four to really puncture the pre-season optimism bubble. Last nights tonking at Chorley prompted a very honest interview from manager Liam Watson

So, a month into the season, did anyone predict Chorley would have a 100% record after 7 games?! Impressive stuff.
York's swift managerial change seems to have had something of an effect, although by all accounts we've still been pretty awful for large parts of the last two games.
Chester still postponing games due to that water damage has to be a worry for them.

I may be insane as I went to watch Darlo vs Altrincham on Saturday instead. Darlington were absolutely awful. York have been bad but nothing like as bad as what I saw at Blackwell Meadows ( .... and I know they'll now do the double over York at Christmas).

Maybe. I thought they spent a bit last year on players. I remember them taking Styche off Tamworth when he was scoring regularly for them. Possibly they overstretched.
The rugby ground where they play now is a great place to watch football but doesn't look to be of Conference National standard never mind football league.
