I'm not sure the Tamworth players were in the best position to ask about the incident, being hundreds of miles away in Wrexham today?! :? ;)
Curtis Osano said it was for a head butt on Shane Huke! :shock:
Thanks. Shocking if that was true.

the Tamworth players would had a similar view as I did of the incident - none :P ;)

But it did look like he spoke to several Kiddy players before he sent the guy off

I think second place would go straight through to the final. I'm sure this was mentioned last season when tht Ploppies were flirting with the Play Offs but wouldn't have been allowed to compete due to their ground situation.
Yep, the NLP article on Wrexham says this would happen. 2nd place (Wimbledon) would get a bye, which imo is wrong. I think it would be much fairer to include the next team, because at the end of the day, if a team like Wrexham didn't cheat their way there, Kiddy would be in that place! :roll:
The official Conference site sayes that if Eastwood finish in a play-off place in BSN then the 6th place club will compete in their place:

Surely it would be the same for the BSP.

The problem is that this is the Conference board who make up things as they go along. The 2nd placed team in the Conference last year would have received a bye to the final if K*ttering had got into the playoffs.

Either way, the Conference board are once again confirming what a joke they are.

Got to agree, over a number of years the Conference Board seem to have made complete fools of themselves with their inconsistant handling of various issues.
Anyway they seem to be fairly happy for Wrexham to take part:
