The grounds that seem to be bit of a trek from the station are Loughborough Dynamo, Newcastle Town, Lincoln United and Northwich Victoria. Gave up on finding route to Gresley, Market Drayton, Leek and Stocksbridge Park Steels. £5.55 return to Belper with the station being a 6 minute walk away from the ground sounds good though!

As I live in Stoke, Newcastle is doable by train, Northampton to Stoke can be cheap and the ground is a short 10 minute taxi from the station. You will find taxis are generally cheaper up here. Kidsgrove also very doable on the train, a short walk from the station. It's on the London - Crewe line.
As for Leek, that's in the middle of nowhere, but as someone has already mentioned, it's a very nice ground.
It's a competitive league but i'm sure we'll be capable of competing well.

Cheers!
Got no idea about Market Drayton in particular, seems to be near absolutely nothing. Stocksbridge PS also looks pretty difficult, a fair distance from anywhere with a train station.

They could reprieve Bedworth in the SLP and move Evesham into NL1S with us. Last year they made a lot of changes when Flackwell Heath declined promotion, I think there ended up being 3 or 4 changes to the previously announced SL1C lineup.

Either way presumably Corby back in the Southern League.
