Monday's Games / Scores

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Everyone misses the two matchdays they would've played Macclesfield.

Annoying that one of ours falls on a bank holiday Monday though  

Quoted from aldi_01

Our week off isn’t it? Seems weird you’d give teams games off this close to the end of the season…I’m aware there’s not enough teams but at this stage it’s got to be better they all play…

I was at King's Lynn today as Aldershot clinched survival with a 3-1 win over Notts County. King's Lynn play their last game of the season next Saturday, 8 days before everyone else and they potentially had loads at stake going into that.

The game was surreal as they went 3-2 up in the 5th minute of 5 minutes added time. Players celebrating and desperately trying to find out how Aldershot were getting on and the deflation that quickly came over them as Tommy Widdrington turned to the crowd and gestured a slit throat. A moment of madness ensued and King's Lynn conceded a penalty immediately after kick off to draw 3-3.

Anyway, my point is relevant because I heard their owner Stephen Cleeve telling someone that the National League tried to help them end up playing their final game at the same time as everyone else (essentially make someone with nothing to play for have a free week) and offered a club £5,000 to move their fixtures but they refused. £5,000...

I can't believe I've just thought of this but... Picture this in the national league :
Team A - use the example Notts County, have a home game vs Team B, I'll use Weymouth for this example. Team A are 1 point behind Team C (I'll use Grimsby for this example) but Team C (Grimsby) have played all their games.
So Notts County v Weymouth.. Would Grimsby fill the away end in hope Weymouth pull off a win to secure promotion for Grimsby?

King's Lynn were on the verge of being in a similar situation at the other end of the table. If they won today and against Woking on Monday but Aldershot failed to get a point in either of their games this weekend they would have played their last game of the season next Saturday.

The National League offered teams £5,000 to try and rejig the fixtures so this wasn't going to happen!

Your comment is what led me to think of that scenario

That's insane!

Which shows how amateur the league really is…

Losing to us seems to have had some effect on Stockport, I still don’t think Wrexham will go up and if I’m honest, my personal view is Halifax have been the most consistent side all year, nobody really talks about them yet there they are, 3rd and never seem to lose…

If Halifax don't go up, it can't be long before someone comes in for Wild. Assuming we get out of here I'd love to see Wrexham stay down purely for their arrogance in thinking they are definitely going to the play-off final. If Stockport blow the title, I can't see them getting through the play-offs.

I hope Wrexham have an absolute shocker in the playoffs…it’ll make that documentary worth watching. If Stockport bottle it though it’s their own fault.

Agreed, if Halifax don’t go someone will surely take a punt?

League One is a massive step up but Lincoln have got a huge appointment as they've parted company with Michael Appleton tonight. They now look for their third manager since May 2015. In that same period we've had Hurst, Bignot, Slade, Jolley, Holloway and Hurst again.
