I'm surprised the conference north/south aren't allowed spectators. Not like Dulwich Hamlet will be pulling in a dangerous amount of people.

May not be the best example. Their crowds are very large these days due to the club's profile. A crowd around the 2,000 mark is not uncommon.

It's a problem as some fall well within the quotas allowed. But with the restrictions at present even Whitehawk will need to think things through. Dulwich have a problem on their hands at present.

Oops, there you go then

I think the maximum number of fans allowed is 600 but the actual capacities will be smaller based on the ground

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

At SCFL level maximum capacity can be a finger in the air estimate. Steyning’s 2,000 has, shall we say, been untested.

Loads of non-league matches happening today with Peacehaven vs Mile Oak this afternoon being the one that has me interested.

Also on Tuesday Saltdean United versus Eastbourne United in FA Cup action: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/saltdean-utd-v-eastbourne-town-fa-cup-tickets-117793745263

Whitehawk have a friendly at home on Tuesday evening.

Seeing as there was quite a bit of non-league last night did anyone from NSC get to a match? Myself I went to Whitehawk to watch a friendly against St Francis Rangers. Whitehawk went 1-0 up early on then were 1-3 down in 25 minutes. Remarkably in the 2nd half Whitehawk went 4-3 up only to end 4-4. What a bonkers match that was. St Francis Rangers certainly a lot better than when they were officially the worst team in the top 9 tiers of English football 5 years ago (they lost 23 league games in a row and only scored once!).

Didn't go, but may go to Ashford Saturday.

Capacity limited to 400 though. And they have made it POTG

Was limited to 200 last night and I'd guess there was about 100 there (a typical Hawks weeknight crowd tbh). Just get there 45 minutes before kick off and you'll be absolutely fine.

Scarborough v Darlington on Saturday. Throwback to a 90s league fixture that. Home and away fans permitted, ticket only but Darlo have been given 250 odd tickets.

so does that mean tickets numbered 1,3,5,7, etc etc or just 250 odd looking tickets ?

FA Cup action on Saturday as my local team Leiston take on Halstead Town , should be a comfortable win as Halstead play at same level as our reserves. Be good to watch a competitive game again after pre season friendlies. New man at the helm is former Norwich & Leicester player Darren Eadie, who has bought in his own coaching team so looking forward to seeing how the season hopefully pans out. Such a tough league the Southern Central , far more physical than the Isthmian . Good luck to all the Sussex sides in this year's competition , will be looking out for the results , and maybe draw one of them in a later round .

 

[Horsham Gull]

Horsham at home to Dorking this coming Saturday in a friendly

 

[Taybha]

Top of the table Aberystwyth Town take on Cardiff Met on Saturday, 14.00 kick off, see you all there .

Went to Steyning v Saltdean last night. Decent game, although I thought both teams rather cancelled each other. Saltdean got a slightly fortuitous goal in the first half and no matter what Steyning threw at them in the second half Saltdean just absorbed it, 0-1.

BTW Burgers were excellent and superb value, and enjoyed a couple of beers while watching the game. .
