Any other lower league/non-league supporters on here? It’s all change at my team, Aldershot Town. We’ve released 25 players and the new manager has brought in 21 or 22 completely new players. Going to be an interesting gamble.

There’s a little video here on the reasons why:

Lifelong Carlisle United supporter here.🤦‍♂️ Good luck for the coming Season and see you in October!

Lower league football has this more regularly, no? Quite often I'll see League 1/2 sides have signed a whole new 11 every summer.

Admittedly, changing the entire squad is different.

1st game of the season Friday, Wolves v Port Vale in the league Cup. Will be my 8 year olds first ever game live and he is a wolves fan. ☹️

Fair to wolves the pricing is great. Adult £12 and under 16 £3 for the game.

That's not bad tbf. I know it's a hard sell with the aftermath of a dismal season last year and a League 2 side but it's still cool to check these off for kids as milestones.

I seem to recall my first football game was in 2001 at around 9/10 at a non-league side whose ground hasn't been used in 20 years and which is a bit of a sad sight every time I drive past it.

Yeah credit where it's due, that's a really good price to try and help get people in.

Most of my early football games were to see West Brom as my uncles are Baggies. Did a few trips to the Hawthorns, Luton, MK Dons, did most of the London grounds between Championship + Prem.

Ive always had a lot of time for the mighty Shots, a pal of mine used to commentate on their games for Sussex Counties radio and he'd sneak me into the ground for midweek games, and we'd even nick a tea and a plate of sandwiches. This is back in the George Borg days, so um . . a little while ago now
