Darlington were the rightful winners in my eyes. They were shafted and that league is discredited . As for the conference play off final - I'm in the position of wanting both teams to lose. I can't stand either of them.

Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis


I was at Tranmere away and I can't forgive how their fans gloated when we got relegated, far worse than some dude giving the FGR stewards excrement then getting chucked out for it! Ok the way he got chucked was a bit OTT, but you reap what you sow.

Therefore I want FGR to go up.


I too was at that game I remember it well, I put that down to "football banter" they would've done that to any team that got relegated, not just because it was us, just like town fans would've done if Tranmere got relegated at Blundell park, if people think otherwise there're being incredibly naive.

As for the FGR stewards, I think you'll find he wasn't giving them "excrement" as you put it, he was playing with an inflatable ball with his 12 year old daughter,  you're not a Barnet steward are you?  


Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

Hurst out

How do you know they had the money to do either?


Well they had competitive squads so they must have spent some money.

Quoted from Vance Warner
But when 3 teams make it all the way to the end of the season, finish in the playoffs and then have to drop out it makes a mockery of the whole system. If there were safety concerns fair enough but this is about 500 covered seats!


Them's the rules. They knew them in advance. So whether the rules are right or not they should be applied to all. It didn't come as a surprise at the end of the season.

The ironic thing is Darlington had no shortage of covered seats at their old ground. Everybody could sit on their own row. But clubs shouldn't be allowed to go up without adequate facilities. Guiseley's ground was inadequate for our support base, especially when a Boxing Day game was scheduled there.

Half truth, yes he was playing with an inflatable ball he was then told that inflatables weren't allowed to which he refused to hand it over, he then pushed a steward and was removed by force.

It's a bit stupid that the rule only seems to apply to the play off games and not to every other regular fixture.

They wouldn't have been allowed into the NLN if their ground didn't meet the requirements for that division. The requirements for the NLP are more stringent.

It is a bit strange. Surely they should let them into the play offs and if they get promoted, they have the close season to sort out the seating arrangements or the next team in line gets the spot? I presume it's a requirement of the league above and not the league they are trying to get out of?
