Just the general atmosphere and the noise. It was superb. The scarf twirling after a goal was pretty impressive. And you'd never guess that Gigg Lane was an all seater

The atmosphere will be superb in a few years time when Leeds are playing non league football.

FC beat Skem 4-1 in the play off final.

2 penalties, and Skem ended up with 9 men.

Think we will find our level in the Unibond Prem next season.

Attendance 3258.

So its either Cambridge or Exeter, to accompany Aldershot in the football league.

Having watched the semi-finals, both of them deserved to be in the final and are both big clubs. I'm sure that either will be able to sustain a place in the footbal league.

Exeter for me, they'll be the new Carlisle if they go up. Huge catchment area.

After watching you against us (Fleetwood) I think you have more than enough to do well in the unibond prem. The only serious contenders, Witton (if they dont go up with us in the playoffs) are imploding after throwing away their season with manager and chairman resigning.

I feel FC United really need to move away from gigg lane though. £100k a year is a lot to spend at this level

Alty look to be off the hook for the third season running, FFS! They should just get 3 successive relegations at once and go to the Unibond 1st div!!

I'd prefer Exeter to go up. Last proper team in the division. Increases our chances of getting out of this sodding place.

Hope Staly Vegas win through tonight as well. Should be a decent trip for that.


And what's the latest re Alty?

A very sad day for Halifax Town as they have gone under after over 100 years.

They could now be relegated from Blue Square Premier and Blue Square North and have a slim chance of playing in the UniBond League next season.

If the Shaymen are relegated at least two divisions, as looks likely, it could mean reprieves for Altrincham who finished twenty-first - the highest of the four relegated clubs in the Blue Square Premier - and Hucknall Town, who finished twentieth in Blue Square North.

Incredibly, it would be the third successive season that Altrincham had finished in the relegation zone, but been reprieved because of other clubs' problems

I would have thought at best they could reform in the North East Counties league Division 1 like Scarborough have done.

Barrow v Stalyvegas Celtic on Shetana tonight.

Farsley won this game last year on penalties
