Gloucester City’s new manager Paul Groves will assess the state of play for himself for the first time this weekend.

His off-colour club may hold the leadership as they head to to Curzon Ashton, but AFC Fylde, Kidderminster Harriers and York City are all breathing down their necks in the North.

It’s up for grabs - and this weekend’s programme looks to be crucial as we head into Christmas.

It’s even closer in the National League South.

Just two points separate leaders Dartford and third place Dorking Wanderers - with St Albans City sandwiched handily in between them.

The Saints will go top for the first time this season if they beat Tonbridge Angels - what a turn around that would be for a club battling relegation last term.
