Presumably the EFL and National league have acted now because the worst case scenario would be for Gateshead to have won the play off final and then launched a legal challenge against the ban on them joining the EFL. Whilst they would have little chance of winning in court any case would have dragged on for a couple of months putting all plans for the new season in utter chaos.

I do feel sorry for two of my friends who missed today's game because they had tickets to see the England V Brazil game. I know which was the more entertaining game.

Looking at the fixtures earlier in the season March always looked like it would be a tough month especially if Oldham and Halifax had a sniff of making it into the play off. If we win or draw on Saturday we will be the first team in the top 5 leagues to gain promotion. I think at the start of the season most fans would have taken that.

It is very hard to see any of the chasing pack finishing with more than 90 points.

When we played Barnet I thought they were the kind of team that would struggle when the temperature started to fall and the pitches become mud baths. I'd be very surprised if they are still in contention by the end of January after they have had a couple of trips up North in the bleak mid winter.
