So have Braintree. National League Clubs seem to be refusing left right and centre!

But not south-west as Truro are competing in it!

According to Kieran Maguire, HMRC have issued a winding up petition against Ebbsfleet. Fleet have however issued a statement to say they have not received any notice of this. A similar situation happened with them just two months ago. https://x.com/kieranmaguire/status/2082 ... JLl_yHWs2A

Maidenhead United Football Club can provide an update on our plans for matchday programmes for the 2026/27 season.
Under National League regulations, clubs are required to produce a matchday programme for each home fixture. This must be produced in either a physical or electronic format, and clubs must retain their chosen format for the entirety of the season.
To provide greater accessibility to all supporters, the club has opted to produce a digital programme for the 2026/27 season. This will allow more supporters to enjoy the matchday programme for free, through scanning the QR codes around York Road, via the links published across social media, on our official WhatsApp Channel or through our weekly newsletter where possible. Furthermore, supporters who may be unable to attend a fixture will still be able to download and read the matchday programme.
We look forward to producing the first edition of The Magpie ahead of our first home game of the season against Dorking Wanderers on Saturday, 15th August.

That's an awful lot of disingenuous words to say "it isn't cost effective to produce a physical programme". I don't like digital programmes (I suspect many don't), but if you're going to do them at least be honest with the reasons.

Dorking have just signed a player on a three year contract. Why?

At a guess because they think he is good.

Hampton gave Rohan Ince a contract. A player who hadn't played in how long, and was well past 30 with no sell on value.
He played bit part in what 7 games? Then now again potentially giving him another contract.

Yet young Finn, a young prospect, was not given a contract at left for free to join Birmingham City, a contract to a young player that could have netted a transfer fee, or at the very least payments for appearances or sell on percentage.

But yeah, criticise Dorking who have gone from Sunday league football to step 1.

Maybe they see his value, a good age, and protecting an asset that could have value if someone comes in for him.

He's 26 so not exactly a youngster. I suspect he's been given a three year contract because he wouldn't have dropped out of the EFL otherwise. If he was that good he wouldn't be joining Dorking. Sets a new benchmark for non league, all the agents will be rubbing their hands. And if he does his cruciate on that dodgy Dorking pitch like so many others then Dorking will hope they have sickness pay in their contract.
