OMG not Billericay! One of only 2 clubs to ever refuse Stones Live to do commentary. From my experience, not particularly friendly with it either.

Potential new grounds: Lowestoft Town or Concord Rangers (whichever doesn't go up) Bury Town Leiston Hampton & Richmond Borough Enfield Town Wingate & Finchley Thurrock Lewes (also: best ground name ever) As a Dulwich supporter, Bury Town, Leiston and Enfield Town will all be first visits for me. Lewes is the best day out in the division. Don't miss that one. One of the best supported clubs in the division, unusual ground in a natural bowl just around the corner from the train station, quirky and interesting town with some great pubs. (Lewes Castle is worth visiting too - great views from the top.) Thurrock is like Ashford. Fine if you just want to drive straight there and back, but hopeless if you're travelling by public transport and want to make a day of it. Went to Concord Rangers for a League Cup tie a couple of years ago and it was a friendly club. Much prefer it to the other club on Canvey Island.

I didn't realise that Billericay Town had come down from the Conference South. A quirky ground to say the least. I also missed Dulwich Hamlet off my list of clubs I look forward to revisiting.
Hornchurch also finished in a relegation position in the Conference South but whether or not they are relegated will depend on how bad Farnborough's financial situation is. If they go bust or resign, then Hornchurch will be reprieved and there will be some shuffling about of clubs at step 3. Bedworth Town, of the Southern League, would be first in line for a reprieve at step 3, meaning that one club would have to be transferred from the Southern League to the Isthmian. Presumably this club would be St Albans City, although Cambridge City would be another reasonable possibility as it is more difficult to travel from the West Country to Cambridge than to St Albans. As always, who knows what the Leagues Committee will actually do? Although as someone else has stated, it is a pretty safe bet that Truro City will be in the Southern League, not the Isthmian!
If Aldershot Town also go bust or drop down, then this will have further knock-on effects.
Also, I can't resist asking Chris the identity of the other club to refuse StonesLive permission to do commentary.

Maidstone United v Enfield Maidstone United v Wealdstone It will be like the 1980s all over again! Except that all three own different home grounds now (and are 2 leagues below)

Margate,Bognor and canvey island if we can get them on a sunny bank holiday! Or a Sunny Saturday in August,sept or April! Love the big terrace at canvey in the sun! Enjoyed most of the grounds when we were last up there! Shame carshalton went down liked there set up! There's real good set ups at most places kingstonian,wealdstone,harrow,billericay,Cray and will be good to visit new grounds of teams who weren't in the premier over the 4 seasons we were in there like met police,Enfield,Leiston to name just a few already looking forward to it! One of the worst old grounds we did visit was Ashford town middx so glad there not in there anymore!

Cray Wands is a nice easy trip and a decent ground.
