I'll be rooting for Blyth Town in that one. Enjoyed our visit there on Monday. Nice, friendly club.

 

Been to Bishops once, albeit about 10 years ago and they were an odd bunch to say the least. 2 of their fans arrived by horse.

 0-0 draw for Spartans, at home to Garforth Town. Might be a big point come the end of the season. Seem to be lacking a centre-forward at the moment. 

 

Alnwick Town says hi :lol: 

 

Manager is leaving at the end of the season after two league cups and promotion back to the Northern League. Canny knock in five years.  We can only finish 8th or 9th and it's been a frustrating season with a lot of points dropped to shit teams who are going to get relegated but from the point of view that we were playing in the Alliance two years ago I can't object too much. Signed off at home with a 3-1 over a shit Darlington team with only 3 subs, last game is at Chester le Street next week, a ground I haven't been to.

 

Morpeth looking in trouble now as well.

South Shields win, Fylde lose........they can still get top spot!

Crazy. I watched them Monday and thought it was done, they were awful against Darlo. 
 

If they beat Macclesfield (hard game) Tuesday they go top.

Be A shame if that Rochdale v York game on the final day isnt a title decider...Rochdale better get a goal in the next half hour otherwise it could be done for them

As someone who is going to York's final home game of the season, I hope you're wrong [emoji38]

They'll have to win by 2 to go top, but it is back in their hands, and a first away win since February. Fylde have now lost 3 in a row away.

I was at the Bishops-Blyth T match, exciting first 15 minutes, but fizzled out. Bishops won via an extremely controversial second half penalty, one of the softest you'll see, having already missed a penalty in the opening 15 minutes.

 

Maybe a fair result, just about, but both have a very tough fixture within their remaining two matches, so I unfortunately could still see both going down. Silsden winning away wasn't ideal.

 

Ossett are away to Consett on Saturday - a similar fixture to the one last night against Heaton, playing a team who have had a great season, but not much to play for, but Consett did win 3-0 today (albeit vs the bottom team, Brighouse, who's relegation was confirmed), and it is their last home match of the season, so hopefully they will put in a good performance.

 

Silsden's win means it's very likely we lose at least 2 north east sides from that league this season.

Not sure what happened to North Shields today in the league below. Battered 1-6 at home to mid table Birtley and all but ends their play off hopes.

 

Guisborough won the league today and will be playing in the NPL East next season.

 

Great 1-0 win for West Auckland away at Whitley Bay to very much keep their playoff hopes alive. That could be a repeat of a playoff semi final in a couple of weeks, although Boro Rangers are probably favourites for 4th and to avoid Shildon in the semi final.

Shields have 3rd place Kidderminster away last day, not ideal if needing to win which they most likely will.

Aye, could do with Shields beating Macclesfield and Macc dropping further points before the final game so that Kidderminster secure the 3rd place and play off bye as that might make the match a bit easier as Kidderminster may rest players, or they don't jump in to tackles etc. to risk injuries or cards, plus it won't be their final home match as they would have a home playoff match, but if they need points to secure 3rd then it won't be easy.

 

Fylde are away at 8th place Merthyr on the final day, who are very much in the playoff picture, so you'd think a chance for them to lose 4 away matches on the spin. The only problem is Merthyr have only gained 1 point from their last 6 matches [emoji38]

I live 5 minutes from Ossett so will be going the last game if it's still deadlocked.

Can't wait to see where Gateshead go from here next season. Incredible effort.

 

Definitely worth a little bet for a playoff place when the odds come out IMO. Elliott's got them riding the crest of a wave.

Yeah, I quite like the idea of Town and Albion merging with the aim to push on, but a chance the new club will fall lower than where both original clubs were back in 2018, prior to the merger. 

 

A reasonable chance that they will be out of the relegation zone going into the final day as they have the easier looking match on paper than the other 2 sides in relegation contention up next, but then they do have a tough final match vs neighbours Bradford PA, who will very likely be going for the playoffs, especially if they do beat Bishops this Saturday. I saw them last Saturday vs Dunston and they really should have won that match comfortably and looked a good team.

 

It's looking like 2 of Bishop Auckland, Blyth Town and Ossett United will drop as it stands.

Yeah I was at Ossett Town academy/reserves around 2007. Chris Kamara's son played for reserves haha.

 

The manager now James Walshaw was a really good striker for them for many years, he was in first team when I was young think he had some trials at football league clubs.

 

The president of Ossett United is ironically Gail Platt from Coronation Streets brother.
