Sutton all but promoted

[ClaretTony]

Need one point from two games to win the National League

[redwasp]

Not certain yet. Dover have 41 games in hand and could sneak it yet.

While Gander Green Lane is not quite as bad as Springfield Park was, it is a dump and will be the poorest ground in the EFL.
Good luck to them but I can see them going down again next year.

[diamondpocket]

been following the NL a fair bit this year online. Incredible that Torquay didn't win today against relegated Barnet. What a missed opportunity. With Sutton playing a strong Hartlepool team tomorrow it would have given Torquay a real chance with the last game.

[Aclaret]

Are our friends from Stockport involved ?

[gc14]

Sutton will need to rip up their artificial pitch as Harrogate did .. Stockport involved in the play-offs with some big clubs
Notts County, Hartlepool. Torquay,Wrexham,Chesterfield ...
No relegation from the National League this year so Barnet safe ...

[claretburns]

Big last game next week with Halifax v Chesterfield, both need to win for the play offs, will be my first live game in since last February, looking forward to it.

[TheFamilyCat]

I don't know why but I'm pleased to see former league clubs get back into the league. Probably for nostalgic reasons from our 4th division days.

[Tribesmen]

So wanted Torquay to do it , but hey there you go

[tiger76]

Barnet have fallen on hard times haven't they, as I recall they were a more than usual lower league outfit, and often gave us some tough games back in the day.

Staggering how far Notts County, Stockport & Yeovil have sunk also, Wrexham might yet make a return to the FL, and give their Hollywood investors an instant return on their purchase.

ah, didn't know that. Thanks. Is that due to some sort of re-structuring lower down the leagues?

[gc14]

The National League's North and South Divisions stopped their leagues after 15 or so games so can't really promote anyone,
Dover gave up mid season

[timshorts]

Gander Green Lane hasn't improved. I went there last season (or was it the one before) to see Chesterfield.
My bet is that Halifax v chesterfield won't matter as Eastleigh, perennial play-off failures will overtake to finish in the last spot. Pity as the Spirites were in the relegation spots in December.
Notts c have been on a poor run in April but have just snapped out of it.
Anyone but Stockport.....

If Torquay had managed to beat Barnet I would have won £2,266.59 from Goals Galore Extra.
Had to be satisfied with £71.88 for my £30 stake (5 singles plus accumulator)

I feel if Halifax win then they're in the play offs, they do need other results to go their way as well but the other teams have tough games. Eastleigh away at Solihull Moors who have won 5 in a row, Bromley away at Notts County and Wrexham away at Dag & Red who have won 7 out of the past 9 games.

I play Walking Football with a man who was in the Sutton United team that beat Coventry in the FA Cup many years ago

As positions 2 & 3 get a bye in the NL playoffs I’ll be shouting for the monkey hangers tomorrow. A win jumps them above Stockport into 3rd.

Mate of mine is a Barnet fan and pre lockdown hadn't missed a game for about 15 years. They lost their ground at Underhill and now play at Edgware. I have been a couple of times, tidy little non league ground. They seem to have problems with the owner and operate a revolving door policy in the Manager's Office. They have had 12 managers in the time since Sean Dyche took over at Burnley.

They have been really poor this season and only stay in the NL as there is no relegation. Must be time for them to appoint Martin Allen for I think the 5th time.

Think they'll need a win coz if I remember well it is Hartlepool's last game as their final one is against Dover. Not sure what the point system is when playing a team who hasn't finished the season.

Dovers results were annulled. Only played 40 so must have 1 more match after today.
Just checked, they are at home to Weymouth next Saturday.

Hartlepool keeper nightmare gifts Sutton the lead, 35 mins.

[tiger76]

[ClaretTony]

Sutton 3-0 up with 4 mins to go

Sutton finally make it into the Football League WD
