@NEFootballHub This is why I think the leagues at step 6 should control the ups and downs rather than the FA and the treating of step 6 as a nationwide thing, why should teams withdrawing in say Essex effect the Northern League

Thoughts on this? Obviously, clubs in danger of relegation would love this, but what about the thoughts of others, who aren't directly affected by it? Please RT so we can get as many views as possible We all want what's best for the region's football, and this is my view 👍⚽️

Well that was definitely "a week!" at work. Need a switch off weekend that's for sure. 😔

@NonLeagueHQ1 @Liversedge_FC @NCEL They won 3-0 at Parkgate today, wasn't playing Sheffield

@AdamGittingspt Athersley Rec for me

What is your favourite NCEL Division One Ground??? #NCEL Let me know in the comments ⬇️

This is what I saw when I've just come on here and think it sums up perfectly the situation non league finds itself in over the winter months! You just can't win when games are cancelled or played 🤷

@iyrwah @buryfcofficial @WorkingtonAFC @worksoptownfc @mansfieldtownfc @RamsbottomUtd @BPAFCOfficial Sad to see your career end, always a fan favourite at Emley and many memories created. All the best for the future 👍

This is my last season. I always joked if I got a big injury I’d call it a day, who knew how powerful words can be. Want to say a huge thanks to all my Clubs ,Teammates ,Managers ,Coaches,Staff and Volunteers I’ve worked with. It’s been short and sweet ❤️⚽️ IG

FA vase is the one FA comp where u know every team wants to win, no resting players or weakened teams. Which brings me to the nearest ground I haven't been to for today's Vase tie #favase #groundhopping #nonleague

Fair play they absolutely deserved that. That is what the FA Cup is all about

Was definitely a 3g and thermals kind of day! Took advantage of the M62 being quiet for once and headed over to @SouthLplFC against a well supported @WythenshaweFC.

Being back at work today for 1 day before the weekend after being off from the 23rd is the most pointless ever, hardly anyone here and nobody can be arsed doing anything 🤷

changing year of my life. 2025 has shown me that life is too short, don't regret not doing something! So we decided to put our house on the market and move over to Northern Ireland near the family over there. Big change, fresh start but something we have talked about plenty

Glad 2025 is over tbh, started well getting a new job end of January which was my aim this time last year. Losing mother in law and my grandma this year hit me harder than I thought and then the new workplace has turned a bit sour last few months. 2026 could well be the most life

2025 footy done. New job and a fair few weekends away meant I didn't get near my aim of 100 matches. Completed NCEL again. Just gonna tick off as many new grounds as I can at the start of the year and sometime in 2026 there will be plenty of new grounds in another country 🤞😁

@Horbury_TownFC Hopefully he gets more chances at Emley to show what he can do

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬 🎰 This guy yesterday was unplayable at times (don’t read this Emley AFC).. 4 goals in 4 appearances for Horbury since his dual reg agreement with Emley. We’re not sure when he’ll put on a Horbury shirt again, but we hope it’s very soon. A young, exciting talent.

NCEL completed again. Been putting this ground off TBF, an hour to do the 33 miles which mostly was 40 mins to do 15 or so thru the s***hole that is Bradford!

Work done, looking forward to Xmas and New year. Boxing day up North east for 2 or 3 matches 27th Eccleshill v Campion 28th bangers at Barford or Kings Lynn 30th Sheffield Steelers ice hockey and new years day Emley v Ossett. Plenty of family time with food and drinks around that

After the sad folding of a famous northern league team @BTFCOfficial yesterday I've been up North to watch 2 more long standing @EbacNorthernLge teams in a survival fight with @Towlawtown beating @Synthonia 4-3 in a hard fought game

@JeffreyPeel @Ryanair Had an issue a while ago coming back to Liverpool from Dublin, it was fine going out 🤷 the woman had zero customer service skills with the way she spoke to us. Last ever time we will use them

I have now submitted a complaint to Ryanair. When I finally boarded the flight last night - after paying the £75 "fine" - I received a round of applause from my fellow passengers. However the experience was truly appalling. The fact that a Swissport checkin agent in a Grinch sweater could deliberately cause such mayhem, delay the boarding of the already delayed flight, call for police intervention and require my wife and I to wait right to the end of the boarding process under police supervision, is reprehensible. And, so far, despite over 50,000 views of this post, not a single word of response from Ryanair.

So @Ryanair your agent in Belfast International airport is refusing to allow me to fly to Malaga (without additional charge) with this bag even though I've already paid for it and priority boarding.

Enjoyable weekend up the North East again. Not the best start with 2 attempts to watch on Friday being victim of the heavy rain but managed to watch Sunderland v Man C u21's and North Shields v Liversedge today. Think that's it for travelling about for footy for this year though

On days like today it's best to go safe with the match choice! Plastic pitch and plenty of cover although at the moment I do seem to have found a part of the country where it isn't raining! @HeanorTownFC v @skegnesstownfc today at @ilkestontown_fc
