Pilko Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 York losing their play-off 0-3 against an Oldham side that finished 23 points behind them, proper shan. Needs to be three up, two automatically from the Connie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Horrible night for York, so disappointing. Hopefully Oldham go up and not Forest bloody Green. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Bedlington Terriors demoted to the Alliance League and Dale Pearson signs for Heaton Stan. Great signing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Finished on 96 points and still didn’t go up, the national league is a farce really. In my opinion the EFL needs a reconfiguration. 20 teams per league, the National League and League Two should be the same level and divided by North & South. 2 down and 2 up from each of them. Less midweek games by reducing to a 20 team league could mean that you reconfigure the EFL Cup earlier rounds. It would also mean that towards the end of the season there are less games with nothing riding on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 There's nothing wrong with the Football League, I have no idea why you would want to regionalise the pro game at League Two when the league is thriving and one of the strongest pyramids in European football. An additional promotion place from non league is obviously overdue as there is a current bottleneck - but that is it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I don't know why, but I have an irrational hatred of Southend, it may be residual dislike due to being associated with Phil Brown, so howay Oldham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Maps for steps 7 and 8 next season. NPL Premier Division NPL East A shame there's not a few more North Yorkshire sides so that the likes of Matlock and Lincoln U could go into the NPL Midlands. Pickering, Knaresborough and Tadcaster are in the league below (Northern League Division One equivalent, and Harrogate Railway a league further down) but none of them were in promotion contention this year, but even having those 9 north east sides will be a massive boost in terms of travel, Friday night matches, a few more at the gate etc. Blyth S should get some decent crowds against Blyth T and Ashington, you'd think / hope - unless it's looking like a third successive relegation could be on the cards. It will be very hard for everyone to stay up this year, but hopefully it's no more than one if any of them do drop to still have a net gain coming up from the Northern League the following season.

Big Geordie Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Spartans need a proper clearout - I think from their retained list, only 6 or 7 have been kept on. Gonna be a real competition when it comes to getting players for all teams up here, you would think. Can only be a good thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw FGR at Xmas, and was really impressed by the family aspect of the club. I even had a vegan burger for my sins with a nice pint before the game. Poor parking facilities, but lovely area. Not sure what the hate for FGR is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Magnay resigns from Gateshead. Got a really ominous feeling about the season ahead. They could have made it and gone up last two years, doesn't feel like that'll be on the cards this year unless there's a seismic shift over the summer. Wonder if they'll try get Willo or Elliot back?

If they get one of those then there's hope. I noticed Ian Watson who was Willo's number 2 at Gateshead & MK Dons has went to South Shields as manager.

Knaresborough have flirted with promotion but didn't get near this year. Railway had their first good season for years and finished mid table. Loads of clubs I might pop and see there. NPL east wise I've only been to Bradford PA and Matlock. Might start planning trips to Garforth, Pontefract, Emley for starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
