I always opt for clubs that I think have the smallest chances of staying up, hence why I was happy that Kidderminster and Oxford City won the playoffs last season.
However, I'm unsure who that might be this time around.
E.g. Where does Worthing's money come from? I've read that their owner is a 30-something-year-old former youth team player of theirs who lost the use of his legs in a car crash and bought the club with some of his compensation. A great story, but I don't know how you can finance a club playing in the NLS, let alone the NL, without someone signing the cheques. (Maybe it's him, hence the question.)
UPDATE: Answering my own question, it seems the chairman is this fella https://worthingfc.com/2019/09/club-stat...t-is-over/
They have a cancer carpet pitch so have a steady income stream from that.
TCMB is from Worthing so for that reason I’d quite like them to go up.
