Re: Linnets North/South you decide!
Nuneaton's first game of the 2000/01 Conference season was Doncaster away. Their first game of 2008/09 season could be Glapwell Town or Soham, while Doncaster look forward to games v Birmingham, Wolves and Norwich in the Championship following their convincing display against Leeds at Wembley. This shows what you can achieve if you invest and run your club properly, and what can happen when you don't!

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!

Cambridge City have failed in their appeal to the Football Association against the club's enforced relegation from Blue Square South.

City will compete in the BGB Southern Premier Division next season after their Milton Road home failed to earn the FA's Ground Grading Category B. be ratified at the Conference's Annual General Meeting on 7 June. City's Milton Road ground fell short of the 'Category B' rating required of all Blue Square sides owing to a lack of terracing behind both goals and inadequate turnstile facilities. Clubs throughout the non-league pyramid were handed a deadline of 31 March to get their facilities up to scratch.

Earlier, this month the FA's Leagues Committee had decided to relocate Worcester City and Redditch United to Blue Square South. The switch was made following the relegation of four northern clubs from the Blue Square Premier - although the decision is subject to change. However, no decision has yet been made over what effect the relegation of Boston and/or Nuneaton would have on the divisions. As for Southern Premier Division champions King's Lynn their fate will be ratified at the Conference's Annual General Meeting on 7 June.

Halifax Town, who were in Blue Square Premier last season, are on the brink of liquidation, and have not been placed in the first four levels of the "Pyramid" by the FA - thus reprieving four teams from relegation - Altrincham (Blue Square Premier), Hucknall Town (Blue Square North), Boreham Wood (Ryman Premier Division) and Slough Town (BGB Southern League Division One South & West).

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!
It seems King's Lynn have been unsuccessful in their written request to the F.A asking to be switched to the BS South. After the Conference AGM was held on Saturday the following decisions were taken: Hucknall Town and Vauxhall Motors will remain in the Northern section due to Boston and Nuneaton's failings, whilst Dorchester Town regain South membership at the expense of Cambridge City.

Redditch United, who had been earmarked for a stint in the Blue Square South (after four Northern clubs were demoted from the BSP) have now been re-instated in the North.

Worcester, another side moved from North to South, will remain in the South division.

This whole process has been a drawn out-affair and I'm sure we haven't heard the last of it yet! This is the revised line-up for both north and south divisions respectively.

 

Blue Square North:

AFC Telford United

Alfreton Town

Blyth Spartans

Burscough

Droylsden

Farsley Celtic

Fleetwood Town

Gainsborough Trinity

Gateshead

Harrogate Town

Hinckley United

Hucknall Town (reprieved)

Hyde United

King's Lynn

Redditch United

Solihull Moors

Southport

Stafford Rangers

Stalybridge Celtic

Tamworth

Workington Town

Vauxhall Motors (reprieved)

Blue Square South:

AFC Wimbledon

Basingstoke Town

Bath City

Bishops Stortford

Bognor Regis Town

Braintree Town

Bromley

Chelmsford City

Dorchester Town (reprieved)

Eastleigh

Fisher Athletic

Hampton & Richmond Borough

Havant & Waterlooville

Hayes & Yeading United

Maidenhead United

Newport County

St. Albans City

Team Bath

Thurrock

Welling United

Weston-Super-Mare

Worcester City

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!

As a result of the above King's Lynn striker Danny Bloomfield has said he could leave the club because of the amount of extra travelling they will have to do next season.
The Linnets look certain to be playing in the Conference North following the league's Annual General Meeting.
"For me it's an extra 4,500 miles to what we did last year," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.
The 25-year-old former Norwich City youngster scored 20 goals last season as Lynn won the Southern League title.
Bloomfield who is in his second spell with King's Lynn played an important role as they clinched Conference level football for the first time in their history.
He lives and works in Ipswich and says he might not be able to commit to the distances involved.
"I've got a young boy now, seven months old, and I work quite long hours as well," he said.
"It's just a juggling act of trying to have a life and play football at the highest level as well as for the club I want to play for."
King's Lynn had wanted to be placed in Blue Square South but the league decided to keep the club in the northern division instead.

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!

Simon Weaver has revealed his decision to quit Blue Square North club Boston United for King's Lynn was down to money.

Weaver's six-month spell as a United player came to an end when the former Lincoln defender failed to agree a new contract with the club and opted to sign for King's Lynn.

United boss Tommy Taylor was keen to hold onto the 30-year-old defender but was restricted on the offer he could make thanks to a cut in the wages at the club.

Weaver travelling from his North Yorkshire home felt that the commute required to York Street was too much on the wages offered and will instead play for the Linnets whilst also working outside the game.

"I was hoping to stay, but was asked to take a major drop in wages," Weaver told the Sports Echo.

"I have to travel from Wetherby and on the money I was offered, I don't think I could have done it.

"I would have been happy to accept a drop in wages, but not what I was being offered."

Weaver leaves with no bad feelings towards the club and was thankful for the support handed to him by the Pilgrims faithful.

"It's disappointing, but there are no hard feelings from me," he added.

"Tommy Taylor is an honest guy and I'm sure he did what he could.

"I'm going to miss the club because they have a great set of fans. They give you great support and they are big crowds for that level."

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!

It looks like both Danny Bloomfield and Matt Nolan will be on there way out.

Webb said yesterday: "I have given Danny until the end of Friday to make a final decision as it isn't good for the player or the club if it rumbles on.
"I understand where Danny is coming from and he has made his feelings clear, but I think his calculations of the extra travelling involved are a little wayward."

Nolan is holding out for improved terms however his demands are unlikely to be met by the board.

"Matty is already one of the better-paid players at the club but he is holding out for better terms.
"There just isn't the finances to give him what he wants so it's now down to him."

If Bloomfield and Nolan (two of Lynn's most southerly-based players) both leave, a new striker will be at the top of Webb's wanted list. On Leo Fortune-West, Webb set the record straight: "I was interested in Leo just after our FA Trophy run but haven't made any enquiries since then."
"He's still a fit lad and will probably cause one or teams problems at this level, but he is 37 and we need experience and leadership in other areas of the pitch."

Webb added: "There's still some time before the start of pre-season and I want players here who want to play for the good of the club."

Yesterday Lynn's local rivals Boston Utd were demoted from the Conference North to the UniBond Premier after losing their appeal, which raises the possibility of Lynn landing another Pilgrims player. There was talk about another defender joining the club.

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!

I was browsing through some non league football sites and came accross the new site for Leigh Genesis, formally Leigh RMI. http://www.leighgenesis.com

Despite getting relegated from Blue Square North to UniBond Premier, Leigh Genesis will be playing at the new 10,000 seater capacity Sports Village Stadium, in its first season as a full-time professional outfit come August. Their new kit (pictured below) doesn't bear any sponsorship name instead the shirt will dispay the word Genesis. They've completely revamped the club even changing the colour of their 1st kit from all red to white and black. Leigh are moving to the newly built Leigh Sports Village along with the town's Centurions rugby league team and the Harriers athletics club.  

The new Leigh kits

with regards to leo fortune west, being based in east anglia for cambridge united, perhaps he may be tempted, could certainly lead from the front.

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!
I have just seen on the Pinkun that Bloomfield will be staying on, that will be good for Lynn, hopefully they can do as well in the next league, and join Norwich in the Premiership in a few seasons.

Re: Linnets North/South you decide!

Leo Fortune-West has recently signed up with BSN rivals Alfreton Town. I'm glad to hear Danny has chose to stay on with us as he can be a real asset. I hope we can get a few more faces in before the friendly games start in July, another new defender or midfield playmaker would do nicely as for our strikeforce one more quality addition would suffice.

The Blue Square North fixtures will be released on  4th July.

Just heard Blue Square Premier club Cambridge United have parted company with manager Jimmy Quinn after almost two years in charge.

The former Northern Ireland international striker was due to return from his holiday in Portugal on Wednesday to start rebuilding his squad for the new campaign.

A statement released by the club reads: "Cambridge United Football Club can confirm that the club has parted company with manager Jimmy Quinn."

The 48-year-old started his managerial career at Reading in 1994 and went on to join Swindon in 1998 following the departure of Steve McMahon. We are due to play them next month in a friendly fixture.
