England players are wearing "mind-altering shoes" to help them win the World Cup The daftest gimmick since Eileen Drewery
I see the non-league fixtures are kicking off at 15.03 in a bid to highlight the 3UP campaign. Quite right too. It's about time the National League became League Three, or three teams go up, two automatically. There are some big clubs in the NL who could easily compete in the EFL and even make it to League One, like Stockport and Orient have done. And the NL is mostly professional these days. Get it done, I say.
Carlisle United are top of the Conference, and are getting some fantastic crowds this season. They filled the away end at Southend last week - a mammoth trip. Mark Hughes stuck with them as manager when they went down last season , and is basically working there for nothing
Hughes does not need the wedge but I bet he's on a significant bonus should they go up this season. They reportedly have players on 3k a week there.
