What an incredible time for Ilkeston Town supporters. Just when we think we've won the lottery things keep on getting better.
Can't wait for next season because on top of everything that is happening off the field, our owners have stated their commitment to a promotion challenge.
With the non league restructuring affecting Ilkeston Town directly, I think that securing promotion will be more difficult due to stronger opponents and more travelling. Whilst it is not certain, Ilkeston are widely predicted to be in a NPL South East Division which could mean several 100 mile journeys to away games. Imagine travelling to Cambridge, Soham, Histon, Cleethorpes, Wisbech and St Neots for night matches. The makeup of teams in our league is not yet known for sure but it is likely that several teams with financial backing will be competing for promotion. Teams like Stamford, Worksop, Belper, Loughborough Dynamo and Corby are likely to be giving it their best shot.
Assuming we've seen the back of COVID, then 2021-22 could be a season to remember with Ilkeston Town becoming a major force in local football with average gates of between 600 and 700. With success on the field and the additional ground improvements, gates should then rise even more.
Thank you, Mark Clifford, Dave Hilton and Andrew Nally
