Play Off Final Venue Confirmed

Could they have chosen a more difficult to get to stadium? It's miles for everyone, lots of travelling on M25 and a very tough area! Very very underwhelmed.

There speaks a man who's never been to East London lol.

If I was coming from Nottingham I wouldn't drive. Train to St Pancreas and tube it across. Easy as you like. Plus plenty of great drinking spots before the game.

Not that it should worry us, but why anyone know why it isn’t Wembley?

No idea BFP it could be an event is being lined ie boxing or gig ??

West Ham ground is decent but there isnt much near it in terms of pubs.

We are not going to be playing in any final....So I wouldn't bother about the venue ...

A typically weird National league decision. The current top 7 clubs are all level with or north of Birmingham, but they decide on a London location.

Why? Surely Villa Park or somewhere north would be available.

Rubbish choice. In view of the probability that the contesting clubs will be from the North and/or Midlands (not forgetting North Wales), the final should be somewhere further north. And somewhere smaller too, to create a bit more atmosphere.

There were plenty of possibilities, e.g. Villa Park, Stoke, either Sheffield ground, Bolton..... Typical of the National League!

Can't think of any that close to the place. Maybe some halfway, if you don't take the HS1 from STP. Or Howling Hops at Hackney Wick?

Don't forget your binoculars

Something to do with the Borehamwood Chairman still being on the board of the NL? Surprised it’s not at the Emirates, although the Wood are looking less and less likely to be involved now.

But selfishly it’s a pretty good option for me, head down the M11 and keep going until it ends and then A12 or a couple of hours on the train to Stratford via St Pancras.
