I've never understood why the play-offs follow on just days after the end of the season proper, giving teams no chance to rest/re-group and forcing them into 3 games in a week. It hardly seems fair on Bristol Rovers who, like us a couple of seasons back, still had a chance of automatic promotion just 72 hours before.
It looks like it'll be an exciting play-offs this season though, with 4 in-form teams. The favourites would definitely be Bristol Rovers but they could easily slip up at Forest Green in the away leg...

Re: Play-Offs
Sounded like Forest Green should have been drubbed last night but then could have sneaked a draw...
Had a dream last night that I met Josh Gowling, and Grimsby had been tanked 5-0 at Eastleigh.

Sounds like we may have to keep you away from meeting our back four next season then!!Had a dream last night that I met Josh Gowling, and Grimsby had been tanked 5-0 at Eastleigh.

Re: Play-Offs
Hardly a great advert for Conference football, Forest Green looked poor - expect the Gas to trounce them in the second leg.

Re: Play-Offs
That shocking ref Swabey again.
The kick on the keeper from Clough was a red card and Swabey bottled it.
The run ten yards and bodycheck by Parkin towards the end was a red card. Swabey bottled it.
The second foul by Harrison was a yellow at the most but his earlier card made it a red. Swabey should have just reminded him that he had already been booked and not send him off.

Doubt he is that shocking, when he has been given a play off game ahead of about 25 other refs!Phil wrote:That shocking ref Swabey again.

I see my tip for play off success - Grimsby have just taken the lead with a unbelievable goal from Olly Palmer - CLASS.

Hurts to see Josh Gowling in black and white stripes. Class as always of course.

IMO Gowling will be missed next season - way more than any of the others that have/will depart from Harriers.

Guiseley in the Conference. Beat Chorley 3-2 after being 2-0 down at ht. Adam Boyes scored for them.
Extra time between Boreham Wood and Whitehawk with the score 1-1 after 90 minutes.

Re: Play-Offs
I was at Chorley yesterday. Brilliant comeback by Guiseley and well deserved after so many years of PO disappointment.
I hope they do well next season as they're a great club with potential, run by some really great people.
