Eastbourne absolutely threw that away. Next year will be tough and I wonder if they don't go up next year how long the chairman will stay around for.

Nice one. Really enjoyed the chat and the game.
Worth watching for the pitch invasion at the end and the rather large chap in the pink shirt on the left at 10:36 struggling to get over the fence.
If there's jumping over a fence and Burgess Hill involved it's 100% Evan Ferguson

Get in. My mates are manager and assistant manager at Telford and they won away at Kettering in the play offs to secure national league north. They are the reason I support Brackley because they were there for years so now keep an eye on Telford too. Chuffed for them.

Presumably they'll just pick the northernmost of the three, either that or move somebody else from south to north if they're really, really southern in location. I think Oxford City have spent the last couple of years in the NLN, despite not being particularly northern. Nor are Kings Lynn, in my mind, but needs must.

There was rumours of Hemel moving north but playoffs means it will be easier to do with promotions.

Yep we'll be able to welcome a new team to Gorings Mead next season, in the SCFL Premier!

Looked at this earlier today, the only difference I could see was Merthyr being in the south with a south team moving north eg Hemel joining the likes of Oxford City in the north.
How many did Maidstone United take to Priory Lane yesterday? The only reason I ask is there was a few on my train as I headed to Falmer who were all quite impressively drunk for 1130 in the morning. They all got off at Pevensey & Westham.

They sold out their 515 allocation.

Why is it unfair?
They finished 7th in the league and everyone knew the rules going into the season. If you don't want three away matches in the play-offs, then win the division or finish higher in the play-off standings.

Chelmsford can’t be much more southern than Merthyr?
In fact I’ve just googled it. According to www.morenorth.xyz it seems like Hemel is 1 KM more northern than Merthyr, which in itself is 1 KM more northern than Chelmsford. So it could genuinely come down to where their grounds are in relation to the city centre

The top line is Hemel Hempstead, the bottom one is Chelmsford. Merthyr is in line with The Plough. F*ck me that’s close.

I believe it’s done on transport links as well. Chelmsford was further north than Bishops Stortford, but if coming from the North by Road, it would be further to travel, as you’d have to drive through Stortford to get to Chelmsford.
