The Non-League discussion thread - Season 2007-08

[Mart]

Time for a new thread with kick off in 6 weeks and fixtures out on Tuesday.

After two back to back promotions i hope this year Salisbury can settle in the Blue Square Premier. It will be our toughest season without doubt as we have never played at this level before. 4th favourites to be relegated too
3 of our current squad have gone full time, we have two new signings on full time contracts as well.

Pre-season friendlies look like this:-

Sat 14 July - Weston-super-Mare (Fr) 3pm ko
Tues 17 July - Gloucester City (Fr) 7:30pm ko
Tues 24 July - Team Bath (Fr) 7:30pm ko
Sat 28 July - AFC Wimbledon (Fr) 3pm ko Home
Mon 30 July - Chippenham Town (Fr) 7:30pm ko

Wed 1 August - Southampton XI (Fr)7:45pm ko Home
Sat 4 August - Havant & Waterlooville (Fr) 3pm ko

Bit of a yawnfest but i hate friendlies with a passion anyway.

Post your team news, fixtures, expectations, etc. etc.

Roll on August 11th!!

Woking ftw

All signings from leagues below. New manager and a very very young squad, oldest player is 25 I think.

2 weeks till the first friendly \o/

Mon Burscough tearing a hole in the Conf Nord.

[The Art of Drowning]

of course a new season for Aylesbury couldnt start without a little bit of drama John Franklin has quit as manager with assistant Tony Thompson taking over. Wont explain the details but from the sounds of it a lot of backstabbing went on. We'll be playing at Chesham again this season and so far the talk from the manager has been positive.

"Aylesbury United have completed the re-signing of former Watford midfielder Sam Swonnell.

Swonnell, who can play either in the centre or on the left of midfield, had a short spell at the club at the start of last season cut short due to work commitments.

First Team coach Mark Eaton confirmed the signing and described Swonnell as an "exceptional signing".

He goes on: "To date virtually all of last year's squad have now re-signed. We have two or three new targets as well but overall are very happy with the way the squad is coming together"

[The Art of Drowning]

Tony Thompson has made his first two signings as Aylesbury United manager with the capture of Dean Buss and Ross Taylor. Oh and new sponsors are New Era. Think they make caps or something.

P.S despite having none of the same players or staff as they did that day, I still hate Burscough

so bitter

[Will Smith]

tbh there was nothing wrong with the other thread, there are only a few posters in it really.

Mon Woking anyway

[Ollyh]

Mon Diamonds

12/1 for the title not bad :thup:

We've got some good players for this season, Phil Gulliver, Jon Challinor our best signings this summer and with Simeon Jackson still here about to score 20+ goals we've a good chance of promotion this year to get back to where we should be in FL.

Also good luck to new club Scarborough Athletic this season.

[Macca_SAFC]

back to where we should be in FL.

Gahahaha
