Think it was 300. I’ve missed a lot of games as too many clashes with Albion games but get there when I can as only about 400 yards away 🤣 Got some good youngsters coming through as well.
I think a fair few of the youngsters were, at one point, members of Mile Oak teams in my son's year and the one above who were absolutely incredible and beat pretty much everyone. I remember watching their seconds absolutely thrash our team when I was helping out with coaching and running the line. IIRC they briefly had Charlie Tasker and Gary Mansell's son in the same team and possibly some others who were in or near the BHA academy.

I thought that too. When the Worthing match finished I turned over to watch the end of the Conf. North equivalent game, Chester v Buxton. This went to extra time and was a far more exciting game to watch. Considering these teams are of the same standard, only separated geographically, the standard of football in the Chester/Buxton game seemed much higher. Better ball control, passing etc., and the only real difference was Chester's ground is grass not plastic and it's so much better to watch as a spectator.
Looking forward to taking in some Horsham home games next season and seeing how they do. Just on the pedigree of clubs you’d definitely choose National League North, stuffed with ex football league clubs, to provide more attractive fixtures. Unfortunately, play off slip ups will provide plenty of local interest with games against Dorking, Worthing and possibly Eastbourne.

Martyn Box, Joe Overy, Reggie Ward, Ben Pope, Hamish Morrison and Stefan Vukoje all spent varying amounts of time in the Albion youth system.

Only just caught up with some non-league goings on.

For Horsham to win the title by a single goal is madness, very happy for my hometown club.

NLS is certainly the highest up the ladder that the club has been for as long as I can remember, possibly ever(?)

Sittingbourne won 100 points in the season and still didn't go up. Madness.
