Amazing achievement for both teams in fairness, who've predicted at the start of the season a Shrewsbury vs Rotherham play-off final?

Strange all this I've heard about fans of little clubs picking fights with those of big/ex-league ones, in this case the Bath fans (ie those that actually attended) seemed perfectly civilised and just there to get behind their team. Might've been different though if Woking had won?

Not that I condone such an incident as it shows complete lack of class (something that Boreham Wood already have an unfortunate reputation for, including their thug of a chairman) but is an empty plastic bottle with the cap taken off likely to hurt anyone badly, even when thrown from high up/far...

This lot were doing it from just outside the ground while the match was in progress, I don't remember anything kicking off after the match though. The Woking fans just laughed at them, that's what they deserved no more no less.

Wow. Five London teams, one on the fringes (Borehamwood), and five from the Home Counties, and one not far off (Aldershot). Is this the most southeastern Conference/National League ever? Remove half a dozen Northern teams, and it could almost be the old Isthmian League over again.

Was that when you played them in the FA Cup in 2007? I went to Twerton Park once, when Bath played Woking in the Conference South play-off final in 2010 (Bath went up). Bath is indeed a great place for an away trip, but I can't imagine Twerton being a very pleasant place to live in, if the...

BTW just noticed Dulwich have been promoted to the National League for the first time in their history (although they have been at this level before when it was the Ryman Premier). Good on them (although it would have been nice to see my nearest team Hendon make it, they would have similarly...

Could you kindly agree on a swap between Vydra and Gray? :) In all seriousness, many of us still feel we shouldn't have let him go, and he can't be any worse than the current bunch we have up front - it's weird because our midfield is easily top 10, maybe even Europa League qualifying form, but...

Though I imagine back in February when you were looking good for autos you were expecting a bit better than having to secure your play-off place on the final day, but a solid season nonetheless. Are you confident next season will be your year, you've been up there for a fair while?

Good effort from Derby, but best team won. Seems they were too cautious over the two legs but then they did finish 13 points from Fulham and if they'd been too open the tie probably would've been over a lot sooner. Good luck to Fulham and Joka, if Villa get through they'll be the tougher...

Depends on if you look at it from the perspective of the 21st or 22nd place team. In 9 of the last 14 seasons, looking at it from the point of view of the 22nd team (the one looking to stay up), 50+ points has been needed to guarantee safety, and 49+ points has been needed in 4 of the last 7...

That's what they've said about us every season for the last three years (including some of our own fans) but somehow we always do enough in at least the first third of the season to keep us out of the relegation mix, no matter how bad we are for the remainder of the season.

Oh, and well done to Peter Crouch in scoring the 1000th goal of the Premier League, albeit in somewhat bittersweet circumstances.

Newcastle have clearly improved since our comfortable win at SJP when there was a lot of doom and gloom among their fans. They've needed to after losing at home to a team that has gone on to pick up fewer points (the grand total of 1) and goals (2) in 12 away games than they did in that game...

Hampton don’t have much luck in Step 2 play-off finals do they? Had a feeling Braintree would win the shoot-out, very little between the sides but they just seemed to play with more conviction after they equalised and it was written in the stars they’d win after all those epic away wins and an...

Does anyone have attendance figures for both sets of fans for the Conference play-off finals played at Wembley? Crowds have been surprisingly low for the most part in recent years, I know that's partly due to playing teams of small fanbases like Gateshead, Newport, Forest Green and Boreham...

Was this as bad as or worse than the penalty decision at Swindon?

...And the burning question is, should you use the ring as a weapon, sink it in the depths of the sea, or destroy it?

Sorry, I meant clubs that have been automatically promoted/relegated and have remained in business. Nice if Maidstone finally make it back up though, they've had quite a climb up the pyramid - more promotions than Aldershot and Newport had to do, I believe? Good to see them establish themselves...

You mean by one season?
