Play Offs Quarter Finals

What’s worse is that statistically you have a greater chance of being relegated from the National League. League 2 wants everything their way. 4 up but 2 down. Yet our league is 2 up and 4 down.

That’s a good point about the four promotion places from L2 as well. It’s the closest there is to a closed shop between L2 and National League.

They could rebrand the National League to L3 and have three up and four down. Part of the requirement for gaining entry into L3 would be having to turn full time professional if not already.

With the likes of Yeovil and Sc.unthorpe getting relegated if they stay professional then the quality in tier six improves as well.

People keep telling me there's a good chance of 3 up/3 down being introduced in the NL next season, I'll believe it when I see it. One thing you can be sure of, if we get promo, it will be introduced, if we don't, it won't.

The best team will ultimately win the play offs, and the league position and stats show that to be Notts

If only it was that simple.

The big problem is that the best team in terms of league position doesn't always win.

Just noticed Alfreton Town v Kidderminster Harriers is on National League TV tonight, NLN P/O QF.

Very true, just watching the build up
To the Barnet v Boreham game and you forget how much experience Boreham have with the Play-Offs in very recent years. We need to be at our best and not gift goals like they’ve just shown from the match at Meadow Lane against whoever we face!

As above^^ all Barnet but Wood take the lead.

Looks like a really poor turn out for a local derby play off game. Still want Barnet to win this. 3 sendings off in their last meeting, looks like the type of game for another tonight

2 pretty poor teams so far, DKE actually playing very well tonight, I hear Adam Virgo saying he thinks LW would prefer to play Boredom in the semi finals as they would allow Notts to have the ball for most of the game, what do you guys think?

Think the exact opposite. He’d prefer to play a team we tonked 4-1 at home and it was only uncomfortable because Baldwin and Slocs gifted Smith a goal. B’Wood we’re the most successful team at stopping us playing IMO. And we don’t want highly motivated ex-players showing up
