think mid table is probably a realistic target for Worthing next season

Survival has to be the name of the game. Anything over and above that would be a real bonus l'd say.
The smaller the step, the more long term progress can be made.

I will be happy with winning more games than we lose and a run in the FA Cup or FA Trophy.
Think another promotion would be very problematic at this stage with the required ground improvements.
Be interesting to see what sort of crowds we get next season. Only Dulwich, Havant, Dartford and Tonbridge appear to take decent away followings so expect the average to be around 1000 over the 23 games.
Season tickets released today, £212 if bought in the next few weeks before rising to £249.
Matchday tickets will be £14 in advance or £15 on the day.

Your support is not that great
I imagine Eastbourne Borough will bring a largeish contingent. They always did when Lewes were in the same league.

Potters Bar had a great outside area when I went up for the Worthing game at the end of the season. Anything like that would be superb.

Most teams struggle when they come up. I think only Newport have gone up straight away in the last few years and they really blew the league away.
Conference South has a weird mix of that some teams are actually professional but the majority are semi-pro. So you do see some strange results and transfers. I think lower mid-table is probably where Worthing can expect to be, alongside Borough.

Bath take 70-100 most places too,
I’d imagine an average of around 1,500 come the end of the season, maybe even nearer 2k if a play off place is possible.

Bit of a disappointing schedule, was hoping for one or two more higher league opposition...

Indeed, seems you will have to feast your eyes on the Tractor Boys then.
How many more seasons will Hastings be playing at The Pilot Field, I have never been and would like to visit before they leave.
Also is there parking nearby?

Hastings more likely to stay at the Pilot Field than move to a new ground at the moment.
It's all on street parking, parking on Elphinstone Road itself goes pretty fast, the past few times I've driven I've parked in Ochiltree Road, just up past STAMCOs old ground, just make sure you stay off the grass verges as the traffic wardens like to lurk on matchdays.
With the planning application for 86 new homes being granted at the Pilot Field , I would have thought that the council would prefer the club to move asap .
If only. Council have very publically pulled out of the new stadium partnership. They are known locally as notoriously anti sport. The planning decision for new stadium and houses on Pilot Field is entirely separate, and HBC refusing to lease Tilekiln means it cannot proceed..

I am looking forward to supporting the Seaford Women's team this year.
Technically this is from last season, but if you’ve got 10 minutes to kill here’s a brilliant video capturing Grimsby’s unbelievable play-off promotion from the National League. I was at all three games, and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced anything like it in football before, and I probably never will again. Proper dramatic stuff.

Off to the exciting Whyteleafe v Sutton Common Rovers friendly tonight, first game of 2022/23, and the first game back at Church Road for Pheonix club AFC Whyteleafe.

I couldn't see another thread so thought it would be appropriate to kick one off for this glorious new season for which we are about to receive.
Got my 1st pre-season friendly out of the way last night on an utterly idyllic summers evening at Woodside, where the Rebels dispatched Three Bridges 2 zip as the sun sank slowly over the vineyards to the West. Our very own Jake Robinson with the first (a header!) before I think 11 changes for the home side at HT, including Dean Cox.
A couple of pints of something cloudy and quite dangerous at the Brooksteed beforehand - a wonderful way to start the new season.
