You’re a big club in that division, I expect you’ll be on BT sport quite often.

At least that way I can probably get links to see some matches.

 

I recall the days when my dad had to buy British newspapers over here to find out how Notts were doing. Was always a bit behind though 

[purpleronnie]

Soft spot for Notts county I used to go and watch them when Leicester played away in the early 90's.  Sad to see them drop out the football league, hopefully they'll make a swift return.

Have you heard the one about the Football Club, the accountant and the webcam glamour model?

National league play off final shouldn't be at Wembley.  Should be at a decent sized premier ground.  Would still be a good day out. 

Just watching it now and they only have one section of the ground open to fans and that’s the stand behind the dugouts.

Rooney is out for Salford.

[EastAnglianFox]

Salford it is then

Well done to the Cash Of 92.

[Tuna]

I wonder whether they'll sack the manager afterwards like they did the last pair after winning promotion.

Warrington Town leading King's Lynn 2-1 in the super final.

Doubt it tbh. Graham Alexandar knows what he's doing, been there and done with Fleetwood and Scunthorpe.

2-2. Extra time.

Also extra time in the other final between The Met Police and Tonbridge Angels, also finished 2-2.

I wasn't being entirely serious, but I wouldn't be surprised if they let him go next season if they were mid table. Think they'll be targeting another promotion.

[Corky]

Look, they've been extremely well-financed and that is part of the game now. We've benefitted ourselves from good backing.

 

But it is not a fairytale. If you can get players from the top division of another country you aren't a normal non-league club.

Oh yeah I agree with that.

[Tuna]

Lynn and Tonbridge both win 3-2 AET and are promoted to Vanarama North / South.

[EastNeukFox]

Sky Sports seem to have got a bit confused about the number of clubs promoted to the Football League.

 

Salford join National League champions Leyton Orient and runners-up Solihull Moors in Sky Bet League Two next season following their automatic promotions.

I wonder what odds Sky Bet will give on Solihull Moors to get relegated from League 2 next season?

 

[Tuna]

Woking promoted back to the National League.

Chorley and Spennymoor Town are in the second half of extra time, 1-1.

[Tuna]

Chorley win on penalties. 

[Nalis]

If Salford didnt go up this season it would have been next season or the year after that.

I think they'll be fine in League Two, as well, sadly.

 

It's the step up to League One which is more difficult to adjust to, usually. 

 

When they can pay new players £4-5k it's not quite the fairytale that's made out sometimes, especially in the mainstream media. The only reason it gets so much attention is because it's the 'Class of 92' heading them.

Pleased for them. Went to a Chorley fan's wedding last year so have kept an eye on them since then. They do well to get the support they do given how close they are to a number of league clubs and Manchester/Liverpool.

[Nalis]

Anytime I see the name Chorley, my brain says 'Chorley FM - Coming in your ears'.
