SimmopsFour Of Clubs - not sure how reliable non-league player stats are though - do a search and they ALL invariably seem to have been signed by Aylesbury Utd at some time or other.
Re the Aylesbury thing.....
I've noticed that. Wtf is that about? Literally every nl player I've searched has played f them
..no idea - some kind of weird 'bot' thing going on in the original s/w search engine I'd expect; tho' unlikely - can't think how else?
- does rather give the impression, that everyone whose anyone locally has played for or signed up for, the 'Ducks' at some point in the last 15 years??
However - things are twitching into life again on the NL front : here's this midweeks BCD (at least I'd assumed they still are ?) National fixtures - but I don''t think too many (if any) below STEP02 have taken up the opportunity to launch into the restart as soon as this Wednesday - certainly haven't seen any mentioned round 'eresabout ..
... and I'm not too sure about the rights & wrongs of Dover, for example, travelling from Tier 3 to visit the 'Magpies'?
..for those interested this is on their twitter a/c
Streaming passes for tomorrow evening's game against @DoverAthletic

...and this is currently up on their website re supporters returning to York Rd:

EDIT : (minor bombshell and not strictly 'local' BUT....) since it's STEP05/6 news thought I'd would be worth highlighting :
Statement from the SECFL made at the weekend (as was the Kent League)
“The board of directors met this morning to discuss the implications of the newly-announced tier restrictions.
As you know, Kent is placed in Tier Three which covers around half of the clubs in our constitution for the 2020/21 season. All of our remaining clubs are placed in Tier Two regions. However, the board were also aware that many players live in Tier Three areas and play for Tier Two clubs, and vice-versa.
Under Tier Three restrictions, fans cannot attend matches, which have to be played behind closed doors. Fans can watch football at Tier Two grounds but the openings of bars and clubhouses is severely restricted.
We would be failing our responsibilities as a board and as a competition if we were to restart football and encourage players from Tier Three to play at Tier Two grounds just for the sake of football while the current tier levels are in place. This is a serious pandemic and the situation in Kent is greater now than it has ever been since March.
We will look to restart matches as soon as possible and with the next review of the Tier system due to be made in mid-December, we will re-assess the situation at this stage.
As a result, all matches in the Southern Counties East League are therefore suspended until Saturday, December 26."
- no idea how it affects National Competitions - does only stipulate 'League' - unless ALL Kent sides still involved in the FA Vase for example (don't think there are too many anyway - roughly half a doz.) are to withdraw en masse - which I s'pose is an option they might take?
... the only other snippet I have picked up on is that some other League Committees are allowing earlier PM KOs for those that want them - to enable clubs to save on the cost of Floodlighting - would probably need to be nearer 13:00 as it gets a tad gloomy by 15:00 odd ......
....more as I find it....
