That's a ridiculous rule!
Makes sense for that league though.
That's a ridiculous rule!
Ebbsfleet will be a league club in two years their owner is a rich Arab
Ebbsfleet win, shame feel sorry for Chelmsford.
Not at all. I think the Play_off system should be one leg with highest team at home.That's a ridiculous rule!
It is unfair that it's being played at Ebbsfleet though, just a normal home game for them.
An Arab investor.., why Ebbsfleet? They have no support and no footballing history? Bizarre!
Of course it isn't. They earned that privilege by finishing 14 points ahead of Chelmsford in the league.
Most non-league playoffs are structured such that the team finishing higher accrues some benefit and I don't see what's unfair about that.
Attendance must have been cut back. Saw their playoff v Dover a couple of years back with well over 4,000. Also even more than that for the Canvey title decider about 15 years ago (but less seats then).
Poor old City. At 1-0 up and ever the opportunist I was planning a facebook ad campaign for the book targeted at elated City fans. Think I'll give that a miss now.:sad:
Even if Chelmsford had finished above Ebbsfleet the Clarets still would not have been at home - no one thought to reserve their athletics stadium for a football match today so it was booked months ago for an athletics meeting.
Good to know that non-league games are backed up by non-league organisation :smile:
