A bit of fun...IF BUDGETS WERE BANNED, WHO, WOULD WIN THE LEAGUE..
If no player got paid. Take into consideration the skills of the management, coaching teams, the club history, facilities and the main thing the pull of the manager, his contacts and ability to persuade the best players to play for nothing, sculpt them into winning formations, top coaching and tactics, all, for the love of the game and WINNING...

Probably much more even. We all know some players who will move to clubs purely for the money. And will be off like rat up a drainpipe when the money goes. If there was no money I think it would definitely be where players played more locally with mates. Why travel all the miles when you can play local to where you live. Anyway it’s never going to happen is it but still a good question.

Simple answer- Bishop Auckland, for all reasons you have mentioned.

Great points, going off some of your posts your involved with Birtley, whats your actual thoughts on getting more local players into your, and others clubs. It seems like a no brainer to me and could never understand personally why, players would travel an extra 20 mile or so for an extra tenner. Also, does anyone know which team has the most "local" players in, ie those born or living within lets say 2 miles of their club? How many do Birtley have?

From the top of my head we have 11 lads living in Birtley in the squad . Around about 7 from the Gateshead area . 3/4 from Washington maybe. 2 players farthest out are 1 in Sunderland and 1 iWest Denton Newcastle. We did have 1 from Hartlepool who I think has left. We have around 32 registered but quite a few are no longer with us

Great post. Having played in the Northern League for years up until fairly recently, I'll give my 2 penneth.
Based purely on Geography I think clubs like Tow Law, Esh etc. would struggle - clubs like Birtley (as Big C has already mentioned they're already very good at this), Benfield, RCA and Heaton Stan would do well. Based on history and stature of the club, Bishops, the Bay and Shildon.
I can't speak for the skillset or the pull of the managers in the league but their is some obvious big names in there with quite a pull - look at Redcar etc.
I don't think facilities would be all that big a factor in honesty, unless you're at the very bottom end of the scale and even then that's extreme.
There is still clubs paying "big" money in both divisions - from a players perspective it can be lucrative, you can easily pay your mortgage each month by playing football in the Northern League. It's often the view the players are greedy - 99% are working lads in a tough financial climate where getting paid to play football is a no brainer and the more you can get paid for playing the better.

Good to hear a players view and i wonder if in the near future as clubs who actually pay a wage will be in the northern premier meaning meaning players will need to move up a level if they want to earn more, been like this elsewhere in the country for several years

A lad i worked with about ten year ago got £70 a week in division one back then
