Sadly, Torquay won’t be joining us.

Yes,was hoping Torquay would be promoted.
Boreham Wood only took 280 fans. Be interested to know if that was their allocation or all that were interested, shocking if it’s the latter.

That’s a big pity about Torquay. So it’s Borehamwood at Wembley versus the winners of Eastbourne v Maidstone.
Let’s hope Maidstone make it back into our league as at least they will bring a decent away following. Unfortunately, it’s another 3G pitch that goes with it.

Frimley looked as if they were going to batter them first 15 minutes but couldn't score
ECV scored early second half
A number of scrambles near the end saw FG go close and the equaliser came direct from a corner by sub Adam Mekki in added time
FG produced an Aldershot Town level on the penalties losing 1-4

Won’t be at Wembley, will be at Eastbourne if Eastbourne win but at the wood if Maidstone win

Sittingbourne finished the season on 101 points, which was incredibly only good enough for the runners up spot, and lost on penalties to Burgess Hill Town.

That's the kind of thing that will happen when you ditch a pure league format and introduce play-offs. Indeed, you could well argue that play-offs are designed to facilitate exactly this kind of situation.

Bit of a strange league where the runners up don’t go up automatically
