I guess at this time of year a 6 month ban and 13 games are pretty much the same thing?

This made me laugh more than it should have

With Wycombe losing, Wrexham will get a third successive promotion today if they beat mad Nathan Jones' Charlton.

 

[Kenny]

All of the top 6 in the NLS won so Truro promoted.

Carlisle getting relegated means an epic away game coming up

Not forgetting trips to Gateshead & Hartlepool. 15 hour round trip

I think you’ll find it’s ‘NLS’ not ‘the NLS’.

Kidderminster absolutely chucked it in the North. Win at Southport (who are shite down in 18th) and they'd have won the league. Lost and finished 3rd.

Home semi-final vs Chester or Buxton next Sunday.

Brackley won the league (don't think they have been in the National League or Conference before) and Scunthorpe finished 2nd (they messed up the playoffs last year, our very own Liam McAlinden missed in the shootout)

Have Truro been in the national league before if so it’ll be the highest a Cornish team has ever been unless there was one the past.

I have to admit, I reflexively had this thought on first read.

Nope, think they got to NLS once before but then financial backing dried up and they tumbled back down

 

[Kenny]

First team from Cornwall to reach that level

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Kidderminster absolutely chucked it in the North. Win at Southport (who are shite down in 18th) and they'd have won the league. Lost and finished 3rd.

They were on an incredible run too, unbeaten in 13, and won 11 of them.

I'm sure you know Phil Brown is manager (pretty high profile for that level to have an ex Prem manager) and David Davis is still plodding around their midfield (12 yellow cards..)

Who do people here think will get relegated in the Championship . One game left for all - squeaky bum time .

Luton and Derby have found form - Luton's goal difference could prove a problem for them yet . Cardiff and Plymouth relegated at this point .
Preston are on a terrible run and could easily go , as could Hull . Stoke as well .

Interesting at the very least .

 

[Tredman]

The Clayheads are very worried

 

[Kenny]

Stoke need all of those teams to win to go down. Would be hilarious but will probably escape.

I'm going Luton.

 

[Tony Towner]

Preston for me. Stoke and Derby are 18 and 20/1. Luton's form is good and Albion are on the beach so. Bristol City need to win and I can see Hull picking up a point if Bristol score early

 

[Tredman]

Got to hope Portsmouth will be on the beach, Derby to beat them, Albion will probably ruin it the wankers.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

My Stoke mate put a covering bet on last week at 350/1. Be good if by halftime the odds are evens on them to go down.

 

[jd1981]

Think it’ll be Hull
