In these times it’s going to be really tough for a lot of clubs at our level and in L1 and L2. The money is just not there. So it means that the power is with the clubs instead of players which may not be a bad thing as football has needed a reality check for along time.
To answer your question I think Stockport Hartlepool and Yeovil could be a strong contenders to kick on and try to retain their football league status.
Other former football league clubs like Halifax, Barnet, Torquay and Wrexham could also attract the better players available. Chesterfield may have reached rock bottom and may now be in a position to move forward and progress following their takeover. They are likely where we were a year ago.
Outsiders for me would be the likes of Woking who did really well but fell away so if they strengthen they maybe strong. Also Solihull Moors.
That’s ten clubs including ours in that group I’ve mentioned. There maybe a surprise package as well.
It will not be easy and we will need to be really consistent and very good if we want to go up as Champions.
