I was speaking to my brother yesterday and his first visit to Wembley was in 2015. He's 27 so would have been 20 then and our previous visits were the Trophy in 2013 (coldest day ever), MK Dons in 2008 and 2006 was at the Millenium Stadium.

So there is now another generation starved of success. With the increase in gates this season I would like to be more optimistic but Wembley is an expensive day out and the current cost of living crisis would make people think twice.

I am hopeful we can get into the playoffs. Personally don't think we quite have enough to be promoted though, but you never know.

Anyone know when the playoff final is please??


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Forgive me if elsewhere on here, but is his how the playoffs work?

4th-7th playoff over one leg, with 4th and 5th having home advantage?, no replay just ET and pens?

The 2 winners then play the 2nd and 3rd place teams, over 2 legs home and away?  ET and pens if all square?, any additional benefit for away goals?

Yes for the first stage 4th-7th but it's also 1 leg for the semi-final with 2nd and 3rd place having home advantage.

Thank you very much pizzza, well on our day I think we can beat anyone (certainly over one single game)

Good work on the stats in the opening post Ron. Obviously I’m confident we can make the playoffs. Assuming we finish 6th or 7th we’ve then got two successive away matches against teams that have finished higher than us before the Wembley final. Whilst we can beat anyone on our day I think two successive wins against sides we’ve not done that well against, is probably just too far for us I reckon.

Still if we do the double over Borehamwood and beat Chesterfield/Solihull/Stockport in the run in the whole picture could be different.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Some things to note about the new style of play offs

In 3 out of the 4 years so far, one of the teams finishing 6th or 7th has won the first round match

In 3 out of the 4 years so far, a team finishing 4th or 5th has been in the final, there has only been one 2nd vs 3rd final

No team finishing 6th or 7th has yet made the final

The playoff winning positions have been 2nd, 3rd, 2nd and 4th.

Still a small catchment however id definately prefer to be in the 4th/5th positions if we can manage it

Edit: just to add 7th place eastleigh came a penalty shootout away from the final

What id take from all this is that 3 out of 4 finals contained teams from the first round, having to play less games doesnt seem to benefit 2nd and 3rd a massive amount, so overall happy to be involved if we get to be
