Poor Oxford City. Didn’t realise they had been put in National North.
They’ve got hundreds of miles to travel for many games. Surely they should have gone south

Because city were the most northern out of the teams relegated, they have to join NLN, crazy I know.
 
They should get a bit of extra funding from the National League to cover the much much higher transport costs.

I dunno, you enter a system where it’s a possibility you have to accept it for me. Should a Cornish team get it for travelling? They were in the National league last season so it’s obviously doable.

Some north east teams have refused promotions in the past because of the extra travelling it involves, why that region have done so well in the FA Vase, going up the levels involves extra travelling with all that entails.

They had a good 5.1 win against Braintree.

Yeah, nowhere seems to have Braintree team news for that match, so not sure if Knightbridge was in goal. He played the previous day against Stevenage though (2-1 defeat), so it may well have been a completely different side against Oxford City.
 
I seem to remember Oxford City making more money in NLN than they did in NLS as generally the northern fans travel in better numbers than southern teams.
 
It just seems harsh on them. Some of those teams up north seem half a day away
 
Compared with the last time they were in NLS it's an extra 2500 miles to travel over the season , according to their programme against us anyway !

Seem to be more ex league/Phoenix/traditional big non league clubs in the north as maybe less southern clubs fail and fall that far so the same might happen this season, whether it’s enough to cover the extra travel cost I don’t know.

48 teams split evenly north/south at that level, so if there are 24 teams further south than you, while it might seem a geographical oddity, then you are in the north, it’s got nothing to do with whether your club is actually in the north.

was a trialist keeper apparently (in a team of mainly trialists)
 
Any ideas on what's going wrong at the moment there ? Awful start to the season and new manager not starting off too well🤔
