Tonights football

Post by Harry »

Okay so we're not playing this week but there are still a couple of important games going on...


Oxford 1-0 Dons, with Dons down to 10 men. So that's looking good...unless you still reckon we're on for the title. ;)

K*ttering 3-0 up at Tamworth, i'm sure that'll give them some confidence ahead of Saturday. :(

I know it doesn't have any impact on us, but the Wobbl£r$ scum are 2-0 up at Hereford. :(

Yeah that's always annoying to see despite it having no impact on us.

Bloody hope they don't make the play offs. If they do I'd back them to win it after such a turnaround.

K*ttering beat Tamworth 3-1. Oxford won 2-0 so are now six points clear at top, really cannot see Stevenage catching them.

Well the main thing is Wimbledon lost tonight. In the grand scheme of things K*ttering can't go up with their ground situation, so it really is just Mansfield and Wimbledon that we need to worry about to ensure the playoffs.

Is it absolutely 100% definite that K*ttering can't get promoted?


If so...would there be any point in them being allowed to play in the playoffs if they finished in the top 5?

From what Radio Wobbs and what they've said regarding the ground issue, and from what I gather about the rules, they need to own the ground or have at least ten years on the lease.

In answer to your second question, not really. They could win the league and still be in the same boat I believe! ;)

Correct, they won't be allowed in the playoffs.

However, we all know that the Football Conference don't always stick the rules. :evil:

Does that mean if K*ttering were to finish in 5th, would the team coming 6th then be involved in the play offs?

Maybe the side coming second would go straight into the play-off final at Wembley?
