A total of 597 clubs from Steps 5 and 6 in the National League System took part in this season’s Isuzu FA Vase, including seven clubs that have entered all 50 FA Vase campaigns.
Whickham manager Lee Haldane has admitted there is some pride in being the Northern League’s sole survivor in this season’s FA Vase – but stressed it means nothing unless they continue their run this weekend.
