Basingstoke Town is an experienced Conference South outfit having entered the division in 2005. Last season The Dragons managed to finish in their highest position since their debut in the Conference South. Basingstoke’s inconsistencies rarely saw them in the top ten and a lack of goals away from home is a weakness Frank Gray will have to focus on. The Stokes’ scored just 16 goals on their travels; only Lewes scored fewer. With the permanent signings of Delano Sam-Yorke and experienced Tim Sills their attacking options should improve.

Last Season
Boreham Wood took a while to adapt in their debut season and never moved out of the bottom three until they defeated Farnborough in February. Survival for The Wood was the aim after promotion via the playoffs the following year. With low crowds the Hertfordshire club relied on loan signings but one player who stood out was top goal scorer Mario Noto who netted five times against The Darts including a hat trick at Princes Park. Boreham Wood managed four wins in their last five fixtures to finish fourteenth, the highest in the clubs history. Manager Ian Allinson managed to come away with one award when he was announced as PFA Fairplay Award winner. Allinson put his side’s relegation battle aside because The Wood were a goal down when the ball was played out for a Havant player to receive treatment. In an effort to return the ball to The Hawks, Ali Chaaban over hit the pass unintentionally levelling the scores. Allinson ordered his squad to allow Havant to score a goal unchallenged. Over the summer the manager has strengthened his squad by shrewdly raiding Farnborough’s outcasts.

Bromley were quick out of the starting blocks last season with a 100% record in their opening seven games. In fact they remained undefeated for ten fixtures. The wheels soon fell off and Mark Goldberg left the Managers post. Wins turned to draws and from February their season fell apart. The Ravens went through nine winless games and what started out as a promotion challenge ended up a battle to sneak in the top ten. Hayden Bird’s side were denied on the last day when The Darts leapfrogged them. Failure to land a top ten spot and defeat in the Kent Senior Cup Final saw Hayden Bird resign as manager. A new chairman was appointed in Ashley Reading then none other than Mark Goldberg returned to the reins for the third time.

Chelmsford City’s strong squad meant a promotion push was last season’s target. Melbourne Stadium was a fortress up to February when The Clarets won eight out of nine, dropping just two points. The Clarets defence kept five straight clean sheets at home and scored at will. The home form kept the Essex side in a playoff spot throughout most of the season. Chelmsford City were only beaten four times and failed to score on just three occasions. On their travels they were steady and ended the season in fourth. Glenn Pennyfather’s side were denied promotion in the playoffs when they were beaten by Ebbsfleet United in the semi-final. They also enjoyed an F.A Cup run to the second round before losing to League Two side Wycombe Wanderers.

Last Season
Dartford struggled to get to grips with the Conference South after their promotion from the Isthmian Premier League. Mid January saw The Darts enter the bottom three and it was at this point when fortunes turned. Charlie Sheringham found goal scoring form, Lee Noble returned from his loan spell like a new signing and the defence tightened up with more clean sheets. Such was the good turn in form that Dartford climbed up the table to finish a credible tenth. It was in the cups that The Darts excelled reaching the F.A Cup First Round for the first time since 1989 and taking Port Vale to a replay. In the F.A Trophy they conquered Conference runaway champions Crawley Town, only one of five teams to defeat the Sussex side all season, and reached the third round. Tony Burman’s side did end up with silverware in the Kent Senior Cup beating Bromley in the final.

The highlight of Dorchester’s season made national headlines when player manager Ashley Vickers rugby tackled a streaker, then got sent off. It took nine games for The Magpies to record win number one, then four came along in the space of five fixtures, this summed up Dorchester’s form throughout the campaign. In February they failed to score in four consecutive games then went on a scoring spree by netting in the next nine. Vickers will be hoping for a bit of consistency, even though the Dorset club finished seven points clear from the drop zone they never really looked threatened.

Dover Athletic will have been disappointed not to have made at least the playoffs last season. Their home form was a key factor on The Whites missing out, had they been as good at home as they were in March and April then Martin Hayes side would have finished in the top five. Away from The Crabble the Kent club performed consistently. Adam Birchall (now at Gillingham) was influential in everything Dover achieved last season, especially in the tremendous run to the F.A Cup Third Round which saw Dover defeat Gillingham and Aldershot Town to make national headlines. The Whites finally bowed out against League One high fliers Huddersfield Town in the best F.A Cup run in the clubs history. A minor overhaul in the summer makes Martin Hayes’s side a contender for promotion.

If goals are what you want to see then there would have been not many better places than a fixture involving Eastbourne Borough. Unfortunately, the majority of goals were conceded by The Sports and from 3 January 2011 they never escaped the bottom four. After three seasons in the top flight of non-league football Eastbourne Borough were relegated. The Sports were denied glory in the County Cup when they lost 2-0 against hosts Brighton and Hove Albion in the first ever fixture at the new American Express Community Stadium.

Eastleigh has become an experienced side in the Conference South and seems to always fall short of the playoffs. The Hampshire side announced going full time by offering younger players new contracts with the more senior players staying part time. A big move for The Spitfires, who will no doubt be eyeing up a playoff spot this campaign. Ian Baird’s team also enjoyed a run to the F.A Trophy 3rd Round knocking out Folkestone Invicta, Sutton United, Worcester City before a shock exit against Chasetown.

Farnborough were promoted alongside Dartford and experienced their first year at Conference South level since reformation. The Boro were guided to an excellent runner up spot by manager Steve King and almost pushed champions Braintree Town all the way, falling seven points short. The Hampshire side looked powerful up front; Grenadian international Bradley Bubb hit form in January scoring an impressive ten goals in twelve league matches. When Bubb failed to score they could rely on Kezie Ibe, Jack King and Dale Binns (36 goals between them). It’s no surprise The Boro scored the most goals in the Conference South. Despite a successful season they experienced playoff heartbreak in a 4-2 final defeat against Ebbsfleet United. With the loss of Bubb, Ibe, King, BInns and Booth it will be an interesting transition next year.

The Beavers have been in the Conference South since 2007 and in their first two seasons suffered playoff heartbreak. Now consolidated in the Conference South they have finished in the lower realms of the league. Last season The Beavers struggled finishing five points clear of safety. Between October 2010 and February 2011 Mark Harper’s men could not find a win, until they won at Princes Park. With an away record worthy of a mid-table team, The Beavers managed just three victories at home. More consolidation and mid-table safety will be the target this year, anything more a bonus.

Winless in the opening month of the season Havant and Waterlooville picked up form in September going on to win six out of seven.

Last Season
Maidenhead United survived on the final day of the season last year. Thurrock needed to win at Farnborough and The Magpies had to lose if Maidenhead were to go down. Rewind two weeks a crucial last minute goal by Max Worsfield against Thurrock gave them breathing space. Overall it was a traumatic season for the Berkshire club as they went on the longest losing streak in the league. Johnson Hippolyte relied heavily on loan players and was it not for a run of one defeat in the last seven games The Magpies could have easily finished in the bottom three.

Last Season
It’s not often a football club reach their pinnacle then drop two divisions, this is what happened to Salisbury City a year ago. Financial problems led to a breach in Conference rules when The White Tigers couldn’t agree a CVA in time. A year on and promotion to the Conference South was secured via the playoffs. A new consortium arrived and newly appointed manager Darrell Clarke assembled a team of youngsters to take them up. Salisbury finished third despite leading the Southern League going into the last month. In the playoffs they defeated Cambridge City in the semi-final and second place Hednesford Town on penalties in the final. Salisbury will look towards the playoffs at least in an attempt to reach the levels where they feel they belong.

The Swans could have finished higher in the league last season if it wasn’t for the treacherous April they had. Winless in their last eight fixtures in which they lost six in a row, Steve Cordery’s men could have finished closer to the top ten. In those final matches in became evident that a striker was required, something Cordery may have addressed this summer. Each week you never knew which Staines team would turn up, the one who defeated Eastligh 4-1 away from home or the team who were thrashed 5-0 by the same side. If Staines is to improve on last season then Steve Cordery will have to work out a way to make his side more consistent.

Two years ago Sutton United finished runners up to Dartford in the Isthmian Premier League. Last season they went a step further and finished as champions. Incredibly Paul Doswell’s team went unbeaten at home winning 17 and drawing just four. On their travels The U’s were defeated seven times but still beat Tonbridge Angels to the title by a comfortable 11 points. Sutton was never knocked off their Isthmian league perch once they reached top spot on 3 November 2010. Paul Doswell who was so successful at Eastlieigh has brought in Paul Telfer as a coach. After winning the Surrey side their first trophy in 12 years consolidation in the Conference South could be on the cards.

Last Season
Thurrock finished in the bottom three last season and was saved by the demise of Rushden and Diamonds in the Conference. Southport was reinstated in the Conference National, Bishop’s Stortford moved across to the Conference North and so Thurrock was reprieved. It took The Fleet 15 matched to record their first win and during that time top scorer Cliff Akurang already scored six of his seven goals. For a team in the bottom three rarely Thurrock failed to score but their defence kept just five clean sheets. Thurrock kept their first clean sheet of the campaign against Dartford after 6-1 and 7-2 maulings. The torrid season started with Hakan Heyrettin as boss and after no wins he resigned. In came Greg Lincoln who left after the drubbings against Chelmsford City and Dover Athletic. Grant Gordon’s attempt to steady the ship failed and this summer he stepped down for ex Dart Robbie Garvey to take the reins.

The Angels were promoted after clinching runners up spot in the Isthmian Premier League. In the playoffs they defeated Harrow Borough 3-2 after extra time in the semi-final then had to overcome Lowestoft Town. The final was dramatic with Tonbridge leading 2-0 and 3-1. The lead slipped when Lowestoft equalised but nine minutes from time Lewis Taylor secure promotion. Managed by ex Dart Tommy Warrilow, Tonbridge lost their opening three matches. Form picked up in October when they lost just once up until mid-February. The Kent club will hope to stay up this season and the re-signing of Jon Main could add goals in attack as he looks to rediscover his form which made him so popular at Longmead.

Last Season
The rise and rise of Truro City continues with their debut season in the Conference South. Cornish football is not at all represented up the footballing ladder but that is the aim for club Chairman Kevin Heaney. Over the summer rumours linked the businessman with a move to save Plymouth Argyle, this was turned down. In 2005 they were in the South Western League and five promotions in six seasons has seen The White Tigers propel themselves to the Conference South. Added to their success is the 2007 F.A Vase victory at Wembley against AFC Totton. Last year the journey continued at full speed as Truro City finished ahead Hednesford Town by four points. Truro led the league for most of the season before dropping to second for three games, however they retained top spot with five games to go winning their last seven matches. Truro will be hoping their climb to the Football League continues momentum.

Last Season
It was a difficult but successful season for Welling United last term, a respectable sixth place finish for Jamie Day and company. Plagued with financial difficulties and a potential winding up order The Wings pulled through and survived. Even with five points deducted Welling would have been disappointed to miss out on the playoffs because those five points would have left them in third place. Goals were no problem for the Kent club with Andrew Pugh scoring 17 goals, Clarke getting 15 goals and Jamie Cumbers netting 14 times. An organised outfit with the third best attack and defence, if they can keep their house in order then they should be up there next season.

Last Season
Weston Super-Mare finished mid-table last term in their best position since 2004/05. It was a vast improvement to a club that has finished in the relegation zone three times since 2007. Manager Craig Laird has kept faith with his players and has bee rewarded with more stability in the Conference South. You never knew what you would get as a Seagulls fan as Weston Super-Mare rarely put a run of any kind together win, lose or draw. This is perhaps summed up in the week they lost 3-6 against Boreham Wood then thrashed Bromley 7-0. With low attendances the west coast side will be satisfied for more stability.

Last Season
Like last season Woking will be amongst the favourites to be promoted. The Cards are the most successful club in the division with three F.A Trophy’s, two near promotion misses into the Football League and the famous F.A Cup run to the fourth round. Woking has the second best support and one of the biggest stadiums in the league. Garry Hill will take heart from the astounding run in February and March. The Cards won seven in a row without conceding, drew 1-1 with Farnborough, then won their next four games conceding just one more goal. Woking made it to the playoff just in time but were beaten in the semi final by Farnborough.
