Ahmed Obeng was one of my favourite players at the club with his skill on the ball. He had an ability to open up defences. I understand the reasons for his decision, but I am still sorry to see him go and wish him all the best in the future. He may get more games by dropping down a level.
York City have encountered financial problems because of delays in their move from Bootham Crescent: Ticket price freeze
Title winning Kettering boss Marcus Law has resigned, apparently over financial issues. He has been replaced by former Barnsley defender Nicky Eaden.
Earlier this month top scorer Rhys Hoenes left the club, appearing to suggest that he and other players were owed money. However, the Poppies insisted that they had paid players everything that was due and a number of last season's players are coming back.

In fact, by the end, there was nothing left.'
'Now the bad guys are gone and the good guys are back. I think the club can make a good go of it in National North.'
This is, of course, one of those grounds where an athletics track separates you from the field of play.
One consequence is that Oxford City will move back to the National League South, denying us a relatively short away trip. However, their ground was not easy to locate.
Delighted with the news this morning that Jack Edwards is staying with the Brakes. He puts in a real shift and shows great skill.
