It was nice to see Jay at the match tonight, I wonder if it was as a supporter or was he checking someone out with a view to next season. You can start the 'Paxman to Margate' rumours now. Pax really worked hard last night to impress his old boss. He certainly wouldn't have been doing it for John Still after the roasting JS gave him! Trouble is did Pax do enough for Jay to want him? I just hope Jay keeps his hands off players we want to keep and takes our wastes of space instead!

That,s why Paxmans on the transfer list then. Over rated an cannot live up to his potential so time to try his luck elsewhere.

NFU Liquidated ( per twitter from NLP ): The Non-League Paper Verified account @nonleaguepaper 9m 9 minutes ago More BREAKING: North Ferriby United have been wound-up in court. The club will not be allowed to play any more fixtures in the Northern Premier League. The Non-League Paper Verified account @nonleaguepaper 6m 6 minutes ago More The club has been liquidated over unpaid debts. Ferriby could only pay some of the outstanding £7,645.25 owed to Chappelow Sports Turf Limited. Very sad news. Yet another club that paid for it's few seasons of success with the death of the club. When will they ever learn? (rhetorical - we all know the answer) Some good news on the North Ferriby situation as the former owner is set to begin a 'Phoenix club' playing in the northern counties East league which is at step 5 only one step below where the defunct club would have been next season anyway. The new club can begin debt free and the villagers can start a new and exciting adventure much like we did 25+ years ago.

But pity the poor bloody fans - if this were us, now, I'd be 90 by the time we were back in the NL! Mind you, after this season, I could still be 90 by the time we're back in the NL... Or I could just feel that I was 90...

Sad situation. Once our great rivals... Yes, being an old boy I remember well our tussles with the Borough - Great Non-League club from the era of other past greats like Altrincham, Kettering, Northwich Victoria, Scarborough and others you rarely hear of now and have been replaced by the AFC Fyldes and the Salfords. Sad, but life moves on. I hope the Borough survive and revive for nostalgia sake.

Sad, but life moves on. I hope the Borough survive and revive for nostalgia sake. Very different world now to the old Conference. I've just finished developing a spreadsheet that shows all the teams that have been in the Conference/NL since the beginning and their finishing places each season. (Couldn't find anything like this anywhere, so had to do it myself!) It's taken ages and had been a right slog, but also a fascinating insight. Loads of clubs I never realised had even been in the conference And a staggering number going bust, or getting relegated or resigning - most of whom I'd forgotten or never knew about. And many clubs that have spent years and years in the C/NL and then just faded away, or come back years later - some to disappear just as quickly again, some to finally win promotion. Then there's the few who just pop up, do a year or two and get promoted. A few sad League clubs who come down and never get back up as well. All life is there! And one strange one - are D&R one club or two? They first appear (as just Dagenham) as an early entry when Isthmian clubs were first allowed in, but, after a good few years, they drop out again. And then Redbridge get promoted into the Conference - only to 'amalgamate' with Dagenham. The new club, D&R, then takes their place in the Conference (and gets promoted). So, is D&R the continuation of Dagenham (who were never promoted back up), or are they really Redbridge, renamed and playing at Dagenham's old ground? Do their appearances in the C/NL count as one continuous club (in which case they would be one of the longest serving members), or as two separate clubs - when both would just have average records? Then there's the whole question of whether a promoted ex-Conf club is now a League club or still non-league in its origins (I gave chosen the first as the alternative is a spreadsheet nightmare!). And of course the old phoenix club problem - continuation of original club, or entirely new one? (And anyone who thinks this is easy, just consider AFC Wimbledon!).

Re Dagenham: > wiki: "The club was formed in 1992 through a merger between Redbridge Forest (itself a result of mergers between Ilford, Leytonstone and Walthamstow Avenue) and Dagenham." [There was briefly a team called Leytonstone & Ilford] For me a club that was non-league when automatic promotion came in, is historically non-league. So that includes Wycombe, Macclesfield and Yeovil as well as all the other upstarts like Stevenage, Fleetwood, Crawley etc. And vice-versa - Hereford, Darlington, Stockport etc are historically league clubs. Plenty of layers of history before that - I can remenber Wimbledon and Wigan getting elected to the League and hoping it'd be our turn next year; it was comparatively recently (1950) that Scunthorpe became a League club for the first time and G*lls fo rthe second time having dropped out for 12 years. If "top-flight non-league club since APL formed in 1979" was a Pointless question, I'd go for Trowbridge, or possibly Droylesden. Bangor Histon Salisbury Ferriby would possibly be good answers too, not to mention some of the teams who dropped down briefly (eg Colchester, Mansfield...) Here's a nice link for you JDL, might complement your spreadsheet... www.myfootballfacts.com/Football_Conference_Chronological_Order.html
