Oldham Athletic back in the EFL. 3-2 extra time winners over Southend this afternoon.

Southend perform a PO final in a typical Reading way.

Southend and Oldham had apparently previously played 216 football/premier league seasons between them so possibly the biggest bore of a final for the rest of NL in years but no doubt relief to some that one of them won’t be about next season.

Oldham’s first promotion for 34 years

Update on Bracknell Town’s free season ticket offer. It appears they have had over 1000 apply- more than twice their average gate.
A large amount of work is being carried out at the Sandhurst ground. Between the dugouts they have built now offices and boardroom by using 3 containers. They also appear to putting in a car park behind this area.

And they're still letting kids in for free which my lad for one utilises with his mates when we're not playing or away when we don't travel
Will be some bumper gates down there this season
Some good signings coming in as well

Just need to stabilise the ownership and management situations and with a bit of luck they’ll really kick on. Get promoted and hopefully the borough council will actually start getting more supportive of the club moving back to Bracknell.

He is!

Might the previous Maidenhead women’s manager be going to Reading Ladies?

Devonshire stated at the end of the season he was staying at Maidenhead, not seen anything saying he’s changed his mind:

Sorry about that cock-up by me- X post announcing it did not mention Women’s team at all- Devo must be staying and i was also wrong about him leaving

Popped down there last night to pick up my lads season ticket
1200 season tickets issued as of last night

The small stand by the dugouts has now been dismantled and placed behind the far end as a covered terrace stand with a fans bar behind with big screen
The main stand is now being extended to have more rows of seating behind the existing section with an accessible stand being built by the side
The executive lounge being built behind the dugouts will be flanked by two extra stands

Hes pumped an additional 2 million into these projects since he's been back at the helm and obviously means business
Including the spat he's having at present with the owner of Farnham

When are the fixtures out ?

[Sutekh]

When are the fixtures out ?

National League fixtures will be released on Wednesday 9th July.

The trident leagues (Isthmian, Southern and Northern Premier) fixtures have been released 8 days after the National Leagues in recent seasons so presumably they'll be out on 17th July. Isthmian say there won't be any Boxing Day or New Year Day fixtures in their leagues this season just games on 27th December & 3 January (Sats) instead.

North West Counties League, Northern League & I think the South West Peninsula League fixtures are already out for those that way inclined.

CCL Div One starts on 26th July and the CCL Premiers start up the following midweek 29/30 July

The Northern League is also a 26th July start.

Think some Welsh leagues get started on 19th July.

FA Cup starts on 2nd August

Draws for the following will be released on Friday 4 July.

FA Cup – Extra Preliminary Round & Preliminary Round
FA Trophy – Preliminary Round & First Round Qualifying
FA Vase – First Round Qualifying & Second Round Qualifying

Mousehole (Southern League Div 1) have a total round away trip of approx 7,700 miles (Falmouth the nearest and Didcot the furthest) .

Many thanks indeed, Sutekh

I believe the Farnham owner has just sold his business for millions so Kayne want on the "Wouldn't it be nice if you had the same initiative as us and give season tickets away to anyone who brings donations down for their local food bank"
Then after outlining what he had planned for Bottom Meadow apparently commented on Farnham's new development and asked if they were building a shed ?
