Johnnyrotten Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Notts County v Grimsby in National League play off on BT Sport, very big crowd. Winners go to Wrexham in semi final. It must be odd getting in the play offs like Grimsby and Chesterfield and knowing you have to win 3 games to go up, and none are at home, will be amazing if either of them manage it. Adam Chicksen starts for Notts, he still looks decent. Giles Coke on Grimsby's bench, he's often overlooked in worst ever player discussions, but has a strong case.

Marc505 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Seem like such a slog these NL play offs. Surely about time there were 2 automatic slots into L2 but I'm sure EFL clubs wouldn't be voting for that anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll give Wrexham a game if they go through but will probably get outmuscled/out headed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was scarred by his debut at Blackburn, truly awful, but I can't remember his other 3 games. His league career seemed to be going well till he was about 28, then he had 5 years where he played a total of 20 games and ended up at Grimsby when they were relegated. Club captain at Grimsby so he must have something about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffer cup 07 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 For me the end of season has been a absolute mess. Our last game was on the 30th April were now 24th May and the season's still not finished, an absolute joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased for them, another relatively big ex-league club that should never have been as low as the 6th tier, they've been lower than National League for 5 years and moved grounds since. Another club that will be looking to compete in National League along with Oldham and Scunthorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last game was on the 30th April were now 24th May and the season's still not finished, an absolute joke. Agreed, hard to follow it at times. Obviously Sky, and to a lesser extent BT, want a game or 2 every single day of the week in most of May. BT all the NL play offs on separate days now, no coincidence they only started after the Prem finished (final is 6th June!). Next year just slightly better, the 3 EFL Divs at least finish same weekend (6th May) but then 3 weeks of Prem finishing, alongside play offs. Presume the late finish is down to the World Cup break so its understandable (unlike the farce of when/where the WC is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Mansfield sold 16,500, Vale sold 17k for tomorrow. Hoping for a Vale victory for a semi-local derby, and a decent sized away ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted May 27, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2022 I wouldn’t mind Mansfield, don’t think I’ve been since Seagraves equaliser nigh on 30 years ago. Both better than Swindon though so easy with either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
