Geoff Chapple backing regional split as key to survival for Non-League

Non-League great Geoff Chapple is calling on football to return to regionalisation and save the grassroots of our national game from being uprooted.
No stranger to The Non-League Paper as a five-times FA Trophy winner with Kingstonian and Woking, Chapple is back on the front this Sunday echoing the urgent calls of Havant & Waterlooville boss Paul Doswell and others in football for innovative thinking to tackle the coronavirus crisis.
Like the Hawks boss in last weekend’s NLP, elder statesman Chapple believes Non-League’s top two tiers must consider turning back time to survive the aftermath of the global pandemic.
“There’s never been a better time to time than now,” Chapple tells The NLP. “The people I’ve spoken to at the top level are all saying that.”

Sunday’s NLP:
TURN BACK TIME
