I’d certainly support 3 up 3 down from Conf/L2 - so allow the classic top 2 automatic and next 4 do playoffs for the final spot. You’ll still have some seasons where 3rd place finishes far ahead of 6th, but them’s the ways the cookies crumble, oftentimes.

Missing the point that Southend were closer in number of points to the relegation zone than to York in 2nd place.

Whilst on rather unnecessary facts...Bradford won the same number of away games as Carlisle.

Actually looking at our final.table,Colchester lost less games than promoted Bradford

Actually Colchester had less on in 10th place.

Like.saying we scored the 2nd least goals in the top 9 teams but got promoted 👌

Only khan and TFL would have Wembley park station closed when a 50k crowd is due tomorrow!

Yeah but Maidenhead lost 22 games and Southend lost 12.

Due to the expanded play-offs in the National League you have York City who won 29 games not going up. Southend who won 17 games could be promoted tomorrow. Maidenhead who won 14 games relegated.

Southend have quite a big story themselves

Southend sold 29k tickets today and have put 50 coaches on

Lol

It was truly a fine example of how football was a team game when the side with Hazard was trailing to the side with Paul from The Traitors.

Trigs, Sam Cosgrove surely

Does that make Eden Hazard the best player to play at Plough Lane to date?

Ah makes sense, thanks. Didn’t even realise that was being played last Sunday! Sounds fun and for a great cause

Timmy - don't know what day they were there but one of them played in the Great Ormond St charity match held there last Sunday. Stuart Douglas played but was stretchered off. Eden Hazard played the 90 and scored. Wayne Routledge missed a pen v a non-professional keeper.

What were Katie prices kids doing in the plough lane stadium during the week? Bit random if they did the stadium tour!

Well Kelly didn’t exactly set the world alight and he was a decent goal scorer in the division below when we signed him

Jake Tabor is a free agent, the non league version of Haaland. Won’t cost that much in wages, no transfer fee either. A big jump from Amersham, but might be a little gem.

Indeed Spit. I think I watched every series of MASH when it was first broadcast here. I'm sure that a lot of the early stuff went way above my head as a pre teen but we as a family watched the final episode. RIP Margaret "Hotlips" Hoolihan.

RIP Loretta Swit

Martin, if you're lurking there's an issue with the Sutton bookings. The link on the OS goes to the home sections. I phoned Sutton up and they told me that the correct link had been sent to us. Goodness knows how many of our supporters have bought home tickets.

WTID, I thought Goodman was short until I met him. He's 6'4".

Bit on Will on BBC 1 news within next 10 mins if anyone's interested.
