Goodbye Football League....Hello Conference

[lucy6lucy]

Halifax v Cambridge tonight in the first leg play off semi. I've tipped Halifax to go on and get promoted so i'll give it half and hour until finding out that Cambridge are 6 nil up.

0-0 half time

Really would love to see Halifax get promoted. Don't know why, but as long as Gateshead don't go up then I'll be happy regardless.

Been watching in parts, anyone watching think we should fear any of these two sides?

I would too. A well run club now who are another example of a phoenix club rising from the ashes. I hope Gateshead go up though. There is something weirdly special about us playing clubs in the far northern corners of the country and it's kind of like a badge of honour to say you were there (a bit like us lot at Hartlepool mate! ) but I really, really, really don't want to go to Gateshead. It is grim as hell and will be on a Tuesday night in January too. You can guarantee it.

The only memory I have of Gateshead was going on a blind date with a lass from nearby Consett, going round Gateshead and the Metro Centre then getting mullered on cheap booze under the tyne bridge in Newcastle. I bet she wished she was unable to access her vision on that occasion I can tell you! True story though.

Gateshead is a mess.

COME ON GATESHEAD!!!

FT 1-0 Halifax.

Guiseley beat North Ferriby 2-0 at home in the conf north play off first leg so not looking too good for Ferriby. I'd take Guiseley going up. Leeds, not far.

In the other tie it was a 2-2 draw between Hednesford and Altrincham.

In the southern section Ebbsfleet all but book their place in the final with a 4-0 rout of Bromley whilst Sutton draw 1-1 with Dover.

COME ON DOVER!!!!

Any of the 4 in the south would do me but fancy a trip to the Crabble so come on Dover.

Although a colleague lives in Bromley so may be able to get him along to a game there. Doesn't look likely now though. Drive past Ebbsfleet's ground on the way home from work sometimes if the traffic is playing up.

As for the North, went to uni in (dirty) Leeds so Guiseley would provide an opportunity for a reunion of sorts.

'The Crabble'?!!!

I WANT TO GO THERE!!! SOUNDS AMAZING!!

Codheads have it all to do now drawing 1-1 at home against Gateshead tonight in the first leg. It will be a toughie up there and Town can be porous away. I fancy Gateshead and then Halifax to beat them in the final. Cambridge pay the price for leading the table for a long way then falling away and Grimsby always don't turn up when it matters so there you go!
