Is the rumour true that Gateshead are not allowed by the NL to compete in the play offs as their ground does not meet EFL requirements and Solihull get a bye to the next round?

If only there was a thread about it….

Seeing that it's in vogue to slag the NL management off (justifiably) at the moment a revisit to our inconvenience of the date change at gateshead which was apparently justified because it was unfair on Aldershot to travel Gateshead on Thursday and then locally to D&R less then 48 hours later thus maintaining the integrity of the competition. However when they eventually find a home for Halifax to play Oldham they throw consistency and integrity out of the window by playing the game on Thursday night and then making Halifax travel to the south coast to face Eastleigh

Thought this had been explained to you previously and not just by me. Talk about flogging a dead horse.

Here's a thought to cheer you up on a dismally wet Monday. Most of those referees that conspired against over the last two or three years will be on the league list by now and will be conspiring against us next season.

Thankfully, me and thee appear to have different humour genes.
