As you are probably already aware, the weather took an axe to this weekend's non-league fixture list and only a handful of matches took place anywhere. The FA Trophy Third Round matches were completely called off and will be played at a later date, so the draw for the quarter-finals, which is to be made tomorrow, will have a somewhat odd look about it.

There may only be a couple of days left to go. Darlington FC continue to stare into the abyss and the comments of the club's joint administrator, Harvey Madden, in an interview with BBC Radio Tees this evening will have offered no comfort to those of the opinion that it is now only a matter of time before this football club folds after one hundred and twenty-nine years.

There has been, as has seemed perpetual over the last few months or so, a lot of bad news about recently. Whether we are driving to distraction over racism, looking at football clubs that are staring into the financial abyss or lamenting the death of anything approaching civility within our national game, putting our heads above the parapets of modern football for longer than a fraction of a second can be a thoroughly dispiriting experience, and it can become a thorough bind to even seek to engage with the wider world of football at times.

Sorry.

Those are the toilets area in which one is supposed to dispose of bodily waste of Ebbsfleet United, the club which became famous as part of that fan-ownership experiment some years back, leading to the theory that the common man doesn't care much about the loo. They're taking part in and currently leading a competition to find the worst restrooms in English football, the "winner" of which will get £100k in order to spruce up the facilities with a nice TOTO setup, one would imagine.

David Bridges has returned to Kettering Town, 3 years after he made the move in the opposite direction to sign for Graham Westley's revolution. A lot has changed in those 3 years. Boro have gone from annual underachievers in the Conference to punching above their weight in League 1. That is ultimately the reason why Bridges' time at Broadhall Way has been cut short.

It's starting to become known as The Vaughan Effect, and it's a very modern phenomenon. Whenever any mention is made of the slightest possibility the involvement of either of the Stephen Vaughans getting involved in a football club, there is a reflex reaction from the supporters of the club concerned and from various social media outlets, and this time the club with which this most dread of names has been associated with is Stockport County.

Wrexham FC: Sold Down The River?

That it wasn't a great surprise doesn't mean that it wasn't a disappointment. Geoff Moss, the owner of Wrexham FC, had the chance to do the right thing just the once before handing over ownership of the club to someone else, and he couldn't even manage to do that in the form of handing ownership of the club to the Wrexham Supporters Trust, preferring instead to hand it over to a group of individuals with no prior interest in Wrexham FC, one of whom is also banned from acting as a company director until 2018 and was as recently as the end of last year was struck off the Solicitors Roll as well.
