Conference Play-Off's

[Fat Bastid]

Everyone (Except me!) seems to think that Barnet will go up but what do you think?

For me, Hereford are by far the strongest of the four sides and only just missed out on automatic promotion after all!

Morning.

Ah, no problem, B.O.L.A.C.S. will be in full force today then  

As it is I agree with you, as much as I'd like Barnet to go up for another local-ish match, I can't see beyond Hereford for the play-offs.

Yes, I believe that I used that term a number of times together with a few other choice words!

Hereford were, I believe the divisions leading scorers and sound to me like they are the best footballing side.

Aldershot would be fun though as we always used to put a fair few goals past them!

Hereford, no problem will go up

Ben Smith still play for them?

Yeah they're a very good side. Esp when they beat Dag & Red 9-0 this season, just shows you how good they are against another good team like D&R.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm in the tone of your post young lady?!

Lol, might have been

But seriously, Dag & Red aint really performed as well as they know they can this season. When i saw the 9-0 defeat at Victoria Road, they were awful, complete opposite of what they usually are and should not have been beaten by that many goals. They are definately a top 2 team, and i cant believe it hasnt hapened for them this season.....

How do you think Exeter must be feeling then?

Played their last game in front of about 9000 fans against Accrington. Won, but still missed the play offs!

Well Exeter should have been consistent throughout the whole season then, shouldnt they, and then they wouldnt have missed the Play off's!

Canvey are going to sink without a trace next season in the Conference.

Would not be surprised if they go back down again!

Shame, but sad fact is they are up against far stiffer opposition week in week out next season.

Got to be Hereford I reckon. Best GD in the league and missed out on Chester's impressive 92 point haul by one point.

That said, never seems to happen like that in football. Wouldn't be surprised if Aldershot knock em out.

Is the Play off final a two-legged affair or at a neutral ground?

If so, where?

Top venue! Only seen it from the outside mind!

They will certainly be looking for a season of consolidation (they couldn't go up again anyway with their cr*ppy ground!), but they've regularly played Conference and better sides over the last few years (not just one offs) and generally acquitted themselves well.

They've also played League sides and gave a good account.

Ah, yes but wait until the northern clogger brigade teams meet them and injuries kick in!

Like to see them do well but I cannot see it.
