Manager Dave Challinor believes the National League is set to become tougher than ever next season, however the travel isn’t getting any easier either!



Some of the more ‘local’ clubs in Tranmere Rovers, Macclesfield Town, Guiseley and Chester have been replaced by arduous trips to Havant & Waterlooville, Braintree Town and Barnet!

With 9,000 miles to cover and over 160 hours on the road, it is set to be a long season for the Coasters in every sense of the word!

The furthest journey is once again Dover – an eye-watering 634-mile round-trip – whilst Salford City are now our closest opponents at 46 miles, indeed the only round-trip less than 100 miles!

The travelling support was outstanding last season and greatly appreciated by everyone at the club. Let’s have more of the same this time around!
