Other local non-league...

Having a look at some of the clubs in the division below us, Uxbridge, Hanworth and to a slightly lesser extent, Chertsey, have started the season really well haven't they?
There'd be an extremely galling irony if our traditionally much smaller neighbours Hanworth were in the division above us next season. It could happen...we're currently going through a very worrying time whereas they're a very well-run club who do a good job on the field, and who have a solid core of experienced volunteers, many of whom we know well of course, because of their many years of service at Hampton. I go and watch Hanworth a few times a season when I cant get to our more distant away games, and whilst I've personally never been that impressed with the football on display they are clearly doing something right.
What do others think?

Hanworth and Uxbridge made some really good signings over the summer. Chertsey were strong last season.

Uxbridge v Farnborough in the next round of the FA Cup could be interesting.

Harrow Borough will be leaving Earlsmead at the end of the season, having sold their ground. Looking for a groundshare, another club that may struggle to keep going.

This never ends well does it? The ground is the mainstay of the club, players and managers come and go, and with increasing regularity these days. Sounds like the board weren't exactly forthcoming until it was a done deal too. Where will they end up? Can't imagine Wealdstone being that interested in a ground share, for example.
