Unfortunately we are unable to bring you Seagulls Radio for our fixture with Ebbsfleet United as our request to broadcast this match has been rejected.
There will be coverage from BBC Radio Kent.
Seagulls Radio will return for our match with Worthing on Tuesday.

@StuartLock @WSM_AFCOfficial CEO of learning organisations digging out rivals football clubs on X like a 12 year old. Good work.🫠

@Devonyellows @TUFC1899 We agree,paying a fee when so many options were available is madness
English
@ProperFoot @TUFC1899 Fair enough,can’t say I believe it personally, we don’t have the money for that when we had the applicants to get someone who didn’t cost money but who knows!

@Devonyellows @TUFC1899 That’s what totton are reporting internally
English
@ProperFoot @TUFC1899 Genuine question,where have u got 40k from ? Cant see us paying that personally
English
@BeamDest @succed01 @WealdstoneFC Professional means being paid . Does ballers league pay ? Regardless the second part of that clause means it doesn’t matter, he risked injury. He has beached contract
.
English
@ProperFoot @succed01 @WealdstoneFC It says Professional. ballers league is not far licensed it's the same as a goals kick about.

We are aware that Sak Hassan, under contract with Wealdstone FC, appeared in this evening’s Baller League.
The club was not approached for permission for Sak to participate, nor were we made aware of his involvement in advance.
We will now be following up with both the Baller League and the player directly. No further comment will be made until those discussions have taken place.
English
@simmo_on_sport We don’t know tbh but they are paid mostly per match.
English
@ProperFoot I don’t know the answer to this, but do lads sign short-term contracts to play in the Baller League?
English
This is wild.
I can understand why semi-pro lads want to accept lucrative offers to play in the Baller League.
However, we must be at a point now where this stuff is going to need clauses in proper written contracts, right?

@KieranMaguire @kipianitblisi Isn’t it then a case Kieran that continually highlighting & criticising clubs is akin to blaming & highlighting commuters for causing traffic jams? I mean , it’s the industry & crazy model of football- if clubs don’t keep up & spend their own fans want sackings .Can’t win 🤷🏾♂️
English
@kipianitblisi Correct, although some of the new owners have done spectacularly well out of it.

Wycombe Wanderers submit 24/25 accounts, when the club finished 5th in League One. 🔑Figures
Prepare to drop your 🥓 bacon sandwich.
⚽️Loss for year £9.8 million (up from £3.8m)
⚽️Total losses over the years£23.5m
⚽️Infrastructure spend £9.9m
⚽️Player purchases £2.2m
⚽️Total borrowings £20.5m

@BLSCOPE_ @StruberBaII @bfcseth @jimmysmith_76 @Dalah5511 Not really they just require him to get their written permission as per the standard contract he signed. This is about Baller league at all.
English
@StruberBaII @bfcseth @jimmysmith_76 @Dalah5511 3 league starts all season 😭😭😭
For a player who had 30 G/A the season before, give it a rest.
Non-league clubs would rather let players rot on the bench all year, then start having a heart attack when they see them play for 15 minutes in 6-a-side.
English
@stockport871 @WealdstoneFC Not specifically
But you do need your contracted clubs written permission
English
@WealdstoneFC Do you need permission to play power league?
English
@BallsOfSteele1 @cfcjoe6777 @WealdstoneFC He breached it whether injured or not. This is a standard clause.
English
@cfcjoe6777 @WealdstoneFC You’ve not seen some of the lineups then, not long retired former premier league and championship players in there , if he gets injured he’s well and truly breached his contract
English
@WealdstoneFC Quite staggering the number of people on here unable to grasp the fact that he’s under contract and paid by Wealdstone football club to play for them and not in some glorified 6 a side kick about. He should be in Newcastle preparing to play for his employer tomorrow evening.
English
@WealdstoneFC Why does he needs to ask for permission to play in a 6 a side tournament?

@GlenSTFC @BillyWood__ @KieranMaguire That’s full time. It may not be in terms of being in 4 day times per week but it is as far as the wages they need to pay 💰
English
@BillyWood__ @KieranMaguire Sort of both right, although I’d say 4 times a week training is nearer full time.
“As the Rebels move towards the full-time model that an increasing number of National League South clubs already have, they have begun holding four full training sessions a week – up from two.”
English
It’s not just Northern clubs losing money at grassroots level either. Worthing, currently third in National League South, had losses increase from £42k to £364k last season, taking total losses to over £784k. Club is funded by a combination of fresh share issues, loans and grants
English
@BillyWood__ @KieranMaguire Billy, Worthing are spending like there is no tomorrow. The wiktor makowski deal is prime example: if you know your stuff and know the details of that deal you couldn’t with a straight face argue in favour of it being sustainable or healthy or financially savvy
English
@ProperFoot @KieranMaguire Player churn doesn’t always represent that they are overspending, management change early in the season, different personnel wanted, few injuries, Hinsh trying to find his formula again
English
@BillyWood__ @KieranMaguire Worthing are equal top in terms of player churn with an incredible 36 outfield players used this season. Not so sure Billy.

English
Kieran with context, Worthing have done extensive upgrades to their stadium, making matchday experience better which in turn have increased attendances. They haven't overspent on chasing a dream on a larger squad or over extended in a boom or bust, it's well thought through down at that club
English
And towards the bottom some notables are :
Bath city 30 😲
Enfield 29😲
Eastbourne 36 🫠

Injuries,recruitment,managerial changes all affect squad size over season.This seasons National League South has thrown up some frightening stats in terms of players used with more signings today!
Of the clubs competing for play offs ( outfield players plus 1 keeper counted)
