    Bit of a farce when you think about Luton and Coventry having fixtures moved around to accommodate their problems, to name just two.

    Pick on the smaller clubs, that’s the philosophy

    Sounds cruel but considering how long they have played there, knowing the rules before a season started, and not secured anything permanent to meet EFL rules, smacks of crass incompetence behind the scenes of their club.

    Yes I think the necessary people have been aware of it,but it leaves the play off system a mess,altrincham who finished above Solihull still have to play their Elminator game,whilst Solihull don’t and now get a bye to the semi final…

    No. Which is shocking given the extra money that would come into the town on a match day.

    But the issues was securing the ground long term, not the ground itself.

    If they were playing in a container park or the local rec field I'd get it... They aren't.

    The national league have now changed their minds.and are making Solihull play Halifax now instead of altrincham who now get a bye into semi final…god I bet fans are really looking forward to these play off games or at least trying too…they are actually taking place this coming midweek…

    This was sent out yesterday by FC Halifax

    Having done all of our football & behind the scenes preparations we’ve now been told we’re playing @SolihullMoors on Wednesday 24 at 7pm.

    The National league have just decided to amend the play off schedule.

    There will be a further announcement once we’ve spoken to Solihull Moors.



    Why didn’t the NL warn all of the clubs who could get in the playoffs that Gateshead would not be allowed to compete. Apparently their deadline for compliance was March .
    They’ve been secure in the playoff zone for a few matches now so it’s been an obvious outcome for a few weeks now.
    Many FC Halifax could have already purchased train tickets into Manchester for the Altrincham fixture
    Where’s the forward thinking and planning
