Joining us next season from L1...

Northampton, Rotherham and Port Vale have been relegated. Then the last spot to get relegated is out of Blackpool, Peterborough, Burton, Orient, Wimbledon and the current team in 21st which is Exeter. Squeaky bum time for them all.

Joining us from the National League...

York are currently top on 107 points. Rochdale are 2nd on 105 points. Only 1 goes up automatically and there is just 1 game to go and its Rochdale vs York. What a game that will be! Winner goes up and the loser drops to the play offs and will battle it out with Carlisle, Borehamwood, Scunthorpe, Southend and Forest Green. Toughest group of teams I've seen in the play offs for many a year!

Leaving us going up to L1...

Bromley have already been promoted. MK Dons need just 1 point to also get promoted. They look very strong favourites to secure that point needed. Then Cambridge in 3rd have the points advantage over the teams below and have a game in hand too. Also strong favourites to join Bromley and MK Dons. That leaves 6 clubs fighting for the 4 play off places... Salford, Notts County, Swindon and Chesterfield with Grimsby and Barnet who are currently outside the play off places.

Leaving us dropping to the National League...

It's very close at the bottom of L2.

As it currently stands...

20th..... Crawley........ 38pts... -24gd... vs Accrington (a) and Salford (h)
21st...... Tranmere..... 37pts... -24gd... vs Cheltenham (a), MK Dons (a) and Grimsby (h)
22nd.... Newport...... 37pts... -31gd... vs Oldham (h) and BARROW (a)
-------------------------------------
23rd..... Barrow.......... 36pts... -29gd... vs Cambridge (a) and NEWPORT (h)
24th..... Harrogate.... 36pts... -30gd... vs Walsall (a) and Barnet (h)

For me, whoever loses in the Barrow vs Newport game goes down. I reckon its out of Harrogate and Tranmere. I can't see Tranmere getting another point but will Harrogate? Walsall away is tricky and Barnet in great form like we are and hunting a play off place. There is a chance that Harrogate wins and if the Barrow vs Newport game ends in a draw, they both could send each other down. What a game that will be.

Title match in National League today was crazy. 2nd place Rochdale vs 1st place York. Winner will be champions. Draw would send York up. Home advantage was Rochdale's though.

0-0 after 90 minutes.

6 minutes given for injury time.

95th minute Rochdale scored. Pitch invasion happened. Took ages to get everyone off the pitch.

Game finally restarts. 103rd minute York scored. Another pitch invasion but this time by the away fans.

Full time 1-1 York promoted. Rochdale has to fight it out in the play offs. Wow.

MK Dons have joined Bromley in getting promoted out of L2. Its out of Cambridge, Salford and Notts County in getting the last automatic promotion spot. County face us so we play a big part in what happens.

Very tight at the bottom of L2. Barrow are pretty much down regardless if they win their last game as they are 3 points from safety and their goal difference is the worst. If they beat Harrogate then they send them down too. If Harrogate win though then Crawley, Newport or Tranmere could go down.
 
Everyone has played their games in hand in L1 and L2 so just 1 game to go.

Joining us from L1...
Northampton, Rotherham and Port Vale.
It's out of Exeter and Orient to get the last relegation spot with Exeter currently occupying the relegation spot. Exeter need to win their last game home to play off hopefuls Bradford and hope Orient lose home to Burton. A draw won't be good enough for Exeter.

Who is going down? Exeter or Orient?
 
Leaving us to L1...
MK Dons and Bromley.
It's out of Cambridge, Salford and Notts County to take the last automatic spot with Cambridge currently occupying that position who face Crewe away - a tough game! A point behind is Salford who are away at Crawley who are fighting to stay in the football league. A point behind Salford is Notts County who are up against the most inform team in the country over the last 10 games - us! (Rovers have 27 points from last 10 games, Lincoln have 26 points, Man City, Southampton and Luton all have 24 points).

Who will get that final automatic spot? Cambridge, Salford or Notts County?
 
L2 play off teams...
Two from Cambridge, Salford and Notts County. The other 2 spots are out of Grimsby, Chesterfield, Swindon and Barnet.
We know Cambridge, Salford and Notts County's opponents. Grimsby have Tranmere away who can still get relegated. Chesterfield have Swindon - thats 7th vs 8th - whoever wins that guarantee's their play off spot. Barnet have Harogate who also can still get relegated.
1 from those 7 clubs will be promoted from the play offs. But who do you think it will be?
 
Leaving L2 dropping to non league...

20th..... Tranmere..... 40pts... -25gd... vs Grimsby (h)
21st...... Newport...... 40pts... -30gd... vs BARROW (a)
22nd.... Crawley........ 39pts... -24gd... vs Salford (h)
-------------------------------------
23rd..... Harrogate.... 39pts... -28gd... vs Barnet (h)
24th..... Barrow........... 36pts... -32gd... vs NEWPORT (h)

Barrow are 99.9% relegated. They need to beat Newport AND Crawley to lose to Salford with an 8 goal switch! AND Harrogate to also lose to Barnet with a 4 goal switch! If Barrow beat Newport and both Crawley and Harrogate avoid defeat then Barrow would be sending Newport down with them. Tranmere can still go down if they lose by a few goals and Newport, Crawley and Harrogate all avoid defeat. Crawley could go down if Harrogate gets a better result than them.

Who will go down with Barrow? Harrogate, Crawley, Newport or Tranmere?
 
Joining us from the National League...

We know York won promotion in the last second of their final game.
Rochdale came 2nd and Carlisle came 3rd.
The winner between 5th place Scunthorpe vs 6th place Southend face Rochdale in the semi final.
the winner between 4th place Boreham Wood vs 7th place FGR face Carlisle in the semi final.
Tonight, Scunthorpe beat Southend 1-0 Scunthorpe face Rochdale.
Tomorrow, Boreham Wood face FGR.

Who will join us out of Rochdale, Scunthorpe, Carlisle, Boreham Wood and FGR?
 
Exeter got relegated joining Port Vale, Northampton and Rotherham. All will join us in L2 next season.

Cambridge went up automatically with Bromley and MK Dons who will be leaving us.
Plays offs are Notts County vs Chesterfield and Salford vs Grimsby
Barnet and Swindon missed out altogether and will remain with us.

Barrow and Harrogate are relegated to non league.
 
With Harrogate and Barrow both losing we will not be playing them in the league next season as Crawley drew
