So based on what we know, who do we think might be strong next season?
You'd have to say Torquay, (if they don't win at Hornchurch) Dagenham, with their impressive new manager who knows the division well, Weston, if they can keep their squad together, and I suppose Dorking.
Farnham will find this division an altogether different kettle of fish and may settle for sensible consolidation.
Onto strugglers then...
I'm going to tentatively (at this early stage, based on no info whatsoever!) go for Salisbury, Slough, and Farnborough.
Us? I'd like to think we might surprise a few people...

Thins from Ebbsfleet's website commenting on, shall we say, some dubious financial practices in the league:

I might be wrong, but aren't Ebbsfleet are one of the clubs most responsible for increasing the player budgets at our level to unsustainable levels? And presumably the same Ebbsfleet that have net liabilities of over £6M?

Extraordinary isn't it! They clearly aren't too big on self-awareness and irony in North Kent...

Truro City's owner / chairman has stepped down with immediate effect.
The rest of the ownership group are still committed to the club the statement says.
