    9th August : The Conference Prem season kicks off.

    25th October : 4th qualifying round of the FA Cup, which Conference Prem teams start from.

    8th November : 1st round of the FA Cup (if qualified).

    6th December : 2nd round of the FA Cup (if qualified).

    13th December : 1st round of the FA Trophy, which Conference Prem teams start from. (Non Leagues version of the JPT).

    3rd January : 3rd round of the FA Cup (if qualified).

    10th January : 2nd round of the FA Trophy (if qualified).

    24th January : 4th round of the FA Cup (if qualified) ALSO 3rd round of the FA Trophy (if qualified). Doubful I know but I presume if we got to the 4th round of the FA Cup and we were still in the FA Trophy, the FA Cup would take precedence over the FA Trophy.

    7th February : 4th round of the FA Trophy (if qualified).

    21st February : FA Trophy Semi Final 1 (if qualified).

    28th February : FA Trophy Semi Final 2 (if qualified).

    29th March : FA Trophy Final (if qualified).

    25th April : The Conference Prem season ends.


    Remember we will not be taking part in the league cup and will not be taking part in the JPT trophy.

    on the plus side for me, being in the conference we got the...
    1, league
    2, fa cup
    3, fa trophy

    if was still league 2 we would have been in...
    1, league
    2, league cup
    3, fa cup
    4, jpt

    so less distractions in the conference meaning can concentrate on the league <whistle>

    14k today at Wembley - absolutely shocking.

    We'll take far more to the FA Trophy final, FA Cup final and Conference Play-Off Final <doh>

    How will they survive? Decent managers, that's how. Both Alexander and Rowett - especially Rowett, have done really well on smallish budgets and average attendances around 3k. Let's hope DC can replicate their achievements and get us back up the leagues.

    fleetwood is a copy of crawley. lots of money along with crap attendances. its a good job they got up today as next season they would have been hit hard with the FFP rules for league 2. after going up from the conference they havent yet had to play with the exact same FFP rules along as the rest of the league. this coming season they would have had to. now they are up they get some time to adjust to league 1 FFP rules.

    I think Fleetwood and Crawley will end up like Rushden eventually they had some money behind them with plans to move up the leagues and we all know what happened to them

    14k isn't shocking if you look at he fans bases of Fleetwood and Burton. Rovers just happen to have a very large following.

    It's pretty poor. You'd think they could muster over 10k each for a trip to Wembley!
