Excitement is building with the new National League season just a few days away.
It is that time of the year when journalists, fans and pundits make themselves look a bit silly with their predictions...and now it is our turn!
We are all set for what could be the most competitive National League season yet.
Chesterfield will be up there, we think, but it’s going to be some ride.
Here’s how Liam Norcliffe thinks the table will look come May 15.
Chesterfield will be up there, we think, but it’s going to be some ride.
9. Torquay United 9th
The Gulls have lost a couple of their top performers from last season and I think losing in the play-off final will be hard to get over. Photo: Jan Kruger
Paul Hurst led the Mariners out of this league the last time they were in it. I am not sure they will have enough to get promoted at the moment so I'm going for a solid top half finish. Photo: Ashley Allen
The Spitfires tend to be around the play-offs, but it's such a strong league this year I think they may have to settle for midtable. Photo: Naomi Baker
Pete Wild has been trying to rebuild his squad again after losing a number of key players. Wild always seems to find a few gems but it will be dfficult for them to compete with some of the bigger clubs this year. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
