Play-Offs

[Barling Magna]

some games tonight that can help us close the gap, IF we beat aldershot of course.
Rochdale v halifax.
Hartlepool v Altringham.

We need Hartlepool and Halifax to win, I think. It would also be good for Sutton to beat Gateshead.

But, of course, we need to beat Aldershot, and convincingly because our goal difference needs boosting.

The NL 4th v 7th and 5th v 6th playoffs can be as quick as Thursday 8th and Friday 9th May depending on the FA Trophy finalists. The next games can then be the following Tuesday.
This would enable a play off final to be on the Sunday 18th May at Wembley. It would be a tight schedule but they have done that before.

It makes playing the final games on the Monday 5th May rather than the free Saturday 3rd May even more of a strange decision. Maybe they wanted a free Saturday in case some teams needed to catch up on postponed games.

NL play off final can't be Sunday 18th May as that's the Womens FA cup final that day.

Really have no idea when or even where it could be. There doesn't seem to be a free date at Wembley.

Anyway it's unlikely to be our problem!

I wrote to them a while back, and they were unsure if the final would be 31/5 or 1/6, which I have to say is rather late if so.
