Like the National League?
For some reason I thought runners up below the national leagues got automatic promotion but obviously not

Torquay must be absolutely pig sick to finish second on GD shortly after beating the champions away from home

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
Frimley Green FC were founded in 1919 by a group of survivors from the Great War. My grandfather was their leading goal scorer and is pictured here (Ascot League Div 2 winners in their first season)Image.


I offered the club some reproductions of photos held in my collection many years ago but didn’t get a reply!

Indeed. They were head to head with Chester that season I think and just lost out. They were a really good side-won 9-0 away at D&R if I remember right. To date we haven't had any occassion to gripe about the P/O's (ie by finishing a clear 2nd, beating all the other P/O sides home and away just to lose to a flukey goal against one of them) and have done ok -Imagine if we'd beaten Carlisle after they'd walked all over us in the league game at the rec?!-they'd have ben as wild as the Wolves fans in 87!

Yes Hereford won 9-0 at daggers on a Friday night if I remember correctly and I think they were better than Chester despite the fact the table doesn’t lie as we’re being told, a home loss against the lowly Leigh RMI cost them dearly I would say

True, but if the Isthmian League was structured with playoffs like it is now, i think we would have (a) had some great playoff games, and (b) made it out quicker than we did.

Was that Carlisle in the P/O circa '04? Very spicy outside the ground that day

I've been watching the Kidderminster vs Chester game, both teams look pretty poor tbf.

Scunthorpe v Chester in the NLN final. Maidstone v Borehamwood in the NLS final.
Any preferences as to who you’d like to see promoted?

Scunthorpe and Maidstone.

Uxbridge won their Isthmian League South Central Play Off Final match against Haworth Villa 2-1
