I knew about Farnborough, I've been keeping an eye on the SLP all season but it's funny how, despite us being "north" I've not batted an eyelid at the Unibond!

Surely no-one wants to go to Boston next year?

[BobCarolgees]

Why not? Good support there, tidy ground as well. Few too many pikeys though

[Pablo]

I'd rather visit Boston United than Guisley or Retford United!

If Farnborough bottle it again and go into the playoffs, anyone fancy going to the play off final (!) lol!

[Neil]

Not only the distance but the roads out there, even though Guiseley is Leeds way, it's easier to reach.

[dommotyger]

Fair play to Nuneaton they have come from know where.............a bit like FGR!

[Simon]

One of my best friends at University is a Guiseley fan, it'll be good have a little rivalry!

[BobCarolgees]

Boston went top of the Unibond yesterday after a 4-1 win over FC United infront of over 2, 500 supporters.
Guiseley lost at home to Marine so dropped to 2nd.

Durham City remain rooted to the bottom, with zero points and 160 goals conceded :eek:

In the Zamaretto Farborough remain at the top after a 2 nil defeat of Swindon Supermarine, almost 1400 there which is pretty damn good considering Swindon wouldn't have taken many (Swindon Town at home) and Aldershot were at home that day as well.

In the south west divison Ciren put 11 (eleven) past Bracknell at the Corinium to keep up their hopes of being in the play offs, watched by only 86 people though!!

Also special mention that FA trophy quarter final opponents and victors Aylesbury are relegated from the midland league into a regional feeder!

[Neil]

Farnborough did a "pay what you like" day.

And Aylesbury, well, if anyone thinks that we've had problems they're nothing in comparison to them. I feel sorry for their fans.

[Si Robin]

What happened at Aylesbury Neil?

[QUOTE=Neil;1135]Farnborough did a "pay what you like" day.


Pity we cannot afford to that !

[BobCarolgees]

In the Blue Square north Southport won promotion to the football conference with a 3 nil win over Eastwood Town. Fleetwood, despite also winning in front of over 3,000 fans, finished runners up. Fleetwood will play Droyslden whilst Alfreton will play Workington in the play offs. Vauxhall and Harrogate were relegated.

In the Blue Sq Prem, Stevenage were already champions and will play in the football league next season. In the play offs Luton will play York and Oxford will play Rushden & Diamonds. Relegated were Grays, Ebbsfleet and Forest Green Rovers....

In the Blue Sq South, Newport County won the league at a canter, accumulating a massive 103 points. Woking managed to get a play off berth with a 4 nil win over Weymouth infront of 2,137 supporters. They'll play Dover Athletic, Chelmsford will play Bath City. Going down were Weymouth, Weston Super-Mare and Worcester City.

In the Unibond league, it went down to the wire with Boston only drawing at Marine, meaning Guiseley's 2 nil win over Ashton was enough to see them gain promotion to the Blue Sq North. Only 485 were there to see them crowned as champions though. In the play offs Bradford PA will play Kendal Town whilst Boston United will play North Ferriby. Durham were relegated without a single point. Ossett also went with them.

In the Zameretto Farnborough were already promoted to the Blue Sq South so their 2 nil defeat at Chippenham didn't matter. Nuneaton will play Brackley and Chippenham will play Hednesford in the play offs. Nuneaton or Hednesford gaining promotion may will affect who goes where next season. Tiverton, Hemel Hempstead, Clevedon and Rugby were relegated.

In the Ryman Dartford won the league, Sutton will play Kingstonian whilst Aveley will play Boreham Wood in the play offs.

And to finish, Cirencester confirmed their play off place after a 1-1 draw at Thatcham, Sysum with the goal. They'll play Windsor & Eton. Bishops Cleeve finished 12th, Cinderford finished 16th.

Windsor play vtfc on Monday so play off game still to be decided!

[Joe]

Interesting to see Tiverton and Hemel getting relegated from the SLP. Hemel were in the play-offs last year and Tivvy have always seemed like a big club to me, what with their quality ground and all.

Also, the SLP gaining Worcester, Weymouth, and Weston will add some spice. Would have been a couple of nice days out at the seaside if we were still there!

Good luck to Ciren.

[Neil]

I can't help but think that many of these clubs aren't going to be losing their league status that they've had this season. The initial faer and excitement that is felt at this time of the year is often misplaced, for shame.

[Darran]

I might go and watch Ciren if they have to play Windsor on Wednesday.

[Lee]

Best of luck to Ciren...Windsor is probably a bit too far but i'm tempted to go down to Twerton on Tuesday night.

[Alex]

Boston beat Bradford PA 2-1 (into Blue Square North)
Chasetown beat Glapwell 1-0 (into Unibond Premier)
Colwyn Bay beat Lancaster 1-0 (into Unibond Premier)

[BobCarolgees]

Be interesting to see where we end up now with Boston and Nuneaton up and FGR down.

[dommotyger]

Chippenham lost 2-1 after E.T.

Crowd of Three thousand!

[Simon]

Colwyn Bay beat Lancaster 1-0 (into Unibond Premier)

Went to this game. I've never seen rain as bad as that in a football match in my life, think away to Mangotsfield a couple years back, 5 times worse with a pitch virtually unplayable by the end. It totally ruined the game and lead to the only goal. A Lancaster defender (stupidly) slid in and the slippery ground basically made him rugby tackle the Colwyn striker. 85th minute penalty to send them up.

Fairplay to the Colwyn Bay fans, they stayed in the open end all game, got absolutely soaked. There were even a couple fans who were topless the entire game.

[leon city fan]

glad boston went up! really wanna go there next season if were in the north.

[Neil]

Love this quote from the FGR forum


Also note that Bath city are in the play off final at home!!! How humiliating it would be if they were to finally over take us and expose us as the smaller club?? how the mighty have fallen?

http://fgrforum.publicitymatters.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3057&sid=1b1ecdd8d808702b6ded69bc3f498714

Forest Green aren't big at all. We're a bigger club than them, but Bath are bigger than us both!

[BobCarolgees]

Chippenham fans arent happy...
