The 2022/2023 National League season commences 21 August. The EFL League2 commences 30 July
So, dependent on this week, the break between our seasons will be
One - 15 May to 30 July if we win league - a break of 10 weeks and 6 days. Probably back in training and friendly 5/6 weeks after this season ends
Two - 25 May to 21 August if we do not win league and lose in semi final play offs - a break of 12 weeks and 4 days
Three - 5 June to 21 August if we do not win league and lose in play off final - a break of 11 weeks
Four - 5 June to 30 July if we win play off final - a break of just 7 weeks and 6 days. Hardly any time to react to a promotion and to get a squad for a higher level together. Back in training and friendlies 3/4 weeks after season finishes !!!!
Imperative we go up as champions and have appropriate time to get the right squad for next level or we run risk of players we have identified already moving elsewhere
