Covid is going to cause a car crash to all this.

I know Eastleigh FC players were all in this week for stringent testing because 6 of their opponents players from previous game have come back positive.

Something slightly different i've experienced for non league this season is the early kick off.

By that i don't mean a lunchtime game, but matches kicking off before the scheduled time.

At Ash last weekend they kicked off at 2.55. FT was at 4.39 :D ive had 3 other games KO at around 2.56/2.57 including Binfield taking the lead at 2.58!. Weird. Its like, OK, we're here. Might as well get on with it, no one will notice.

Tony Le Mesmer FT was at 4.39

Christ, I remember when Reading games finished at 4.40. 10 mins for half time and none of this time added on nonsense.

(Given the time of year, I expect some non league clubs are just trying to avoid having to turn the floodlights on.)

Our match was another Southern Combination Football League Division One fixture down on the outskirts of Littlehampton – :

Wick 5-2 Mile Oak
- Had all the necessary – food cooked to order; badge; bar; friendly officials and the bonus of plenty of goals etc. though the programmes proved a bit tricky to track down
- Allegedly told on arrival they didn’t do them – I suspect the gate-man was either grumpy or unintelligible to my mates fluent ‘Whitley-ese’ (I was parking the car)
- overheard the ‘considerably well-fuelled’ & highly-entertaining Chairman, mention he’d 'sorted them out' with one of his Officials – so we knew there’d be a few around somewhere.
- Found the last two in the bar at half-time.
- Outward - Cross-country via Godalming/Arundel and just over the A27
- back via Waterlooville A3(M) Farnham, Fleet, A33 etc. indoors again by 19:00.

Another really poor performance from Windsor.

Started off ok, scored early from a pen, then gradually got less and less effective and the last kick of the game goal seemed somehow inevitable.

Some disgruntled tweeting starting to appear. Parents of one of the senior players have commented privately that the manager is clueless. That suggests that the players have lost confidence and that is a very bad sign.

I really don’t see it getting better anytime soon, until / unless a change is made.

Bracknell took care of business in the FAT against a pretty dull Sevenoaks Town outfit from IL-SE. Cracking goal from Shaquille Ishmael sealed it late on. Back to the league and FC Romania up next.

Attended The Burghfield Vs Mortimer local derby in the Reading Senior League on Saturday afternoon.
between 200 and 250 fans at the Rec in Burghfield.
Burghfield leading 2-0 with ten to go, Mortimer score 3 to win, cue 20 man bust up, from what I saw the Mortimer bench came onto the field to celebrate in the faces of the Burghfield players. 2 sent off.

Wonderful Stuff, a proper local derby.

Good to see the non league attendances really holding up as the weather turns. 462 at Hartley really stands out. Quick check on the "Spreadsheet" shows they had 122 for a league game when i went there this time 3 years ago

Most clubs have the latest scores on Sky or BT, some even show iFollow but im not sure they are supposed to. If you aren't already, just get to a local club on Saturdays. Arrange a meet up with your Mad Stad group, or whoever you used to sit with. Sometimes it feels like you're at a game 25 years ago!

Still dont understand maximum attendances allowed as you mention 400+ for Hartley Wintney and Basingstoke a division lower when asked the question 400 was mentioned.

Anyway - Basingstoke have a test event tonight at their new "temporary" ground, and then all set to welcome AFC Totton to Winklebury on Saturday. Should be good.

I have found the answer to my own question lol. It is basically 30% of ground capacity. So in Basingstoke's case will be 400 this weekend.

.... this one high on my list too ..... though dependent upon escaping work & home (currently co-located) early enough - and if things go really well might try further afield, as I'm s'posed to have the rest of the week off.
