Yes, I think the combination of fixtures means we would be away for all three games. I could be wrong.
If the team in 7th gets to the final and the team in 6th get to the final the team in 6th hosts the final.
Elimination Round - Match A - 5th place vs 6th place
Elimination Round - Match B - 4th place vs 7th Place


Semi Final - 2nd place vs winner of Match A
Semi Final - 3rd place vs winner of Match B


Promotion Final

Glad you worked it out, my brain was hurting. If Darts win two games and if Dorking do the same then final would be Darts v Dorking. Probably have to play on the Community pitch if PP pitch not ready? Oh well, you can but hope. COYD

This is descending into a farce, there is no way that the play-offs should continue with everything that has gone on and there is no way that the clubs should get themselves into debt just to keep a few players in work for an additional few weeks. Over 40,000 lives have been lost and the fact that we are even discussing this is quite disturbing.

If one team has to go up, it should be Wealdstone and if the league say two teams must go up I would give this to Havant and Waterlooville. Hope the league suspends football at our level until it is safe for everyone involved to continue, no games should ever go ahead without supporters.

It's not the players calling the shots here though is it??

I did say in an earlier post that there are bigger issues than football to put this into context. My main point was that the NL should close the season and be fair to all clubs as much as possible. IMHO I had written off the season but if any club feels strongly enough to not want to compete in play offs then that is a choice they can make - if they are allowed to make it.

I believe that our Club's decision to continue to pay players as they did was admirable and the desire to compete in the play offs is up to Directors and that would be good. If the proposal falls flat or Directors decide not to compete that is also fine by me.

When do we find out if the playoffs will actually go ahead though? That hasn't been confirmed yet.

BBC Five have just re-affirmed the National League have voted to play the play-offs in all 3 divisions.
It just has to be ratified by the FA Council which they believe will be a formality as there shouldn't be any problems.

I wouldnt worry. Just sit back and leave it all to Kingy. He will always be one step ahead, if not more, than anyone. The bottom line is its a free hit. Not many months ago, i reckon Kingys remit was "just make sure you keep us in this division". Steve is just possibly 3 games away from failing the boards requirement.
