So, who is in league 2 for 21/22

[kieran_vale]

Not enough for Torquay there. Think that almost gets Sutton up given their huge GD advantage.

and Sutton play Barnet in their last match (Barnet GD -54)

 

[AdamStag]

Think that’s got to be advantage sutton now

yeah - they have 4th place Hartlepool next week - but that Barnet game on the last day surely means they should be almost there....

Not really - a lot of teams train on 3G or 4G pitches these days. We won at Bromley last season, Drew at Sutton (we were 2-0 up) and our match at Harrogate fell foul of covid.
Passing teams do ok on them, but teams of 6' brick shitthouses that kick lumps out of the opposition do struggle on them.

I remember for Rovers, certain players; Steve McNulty comes to mind, couldn't play on plastic pitches due to previous issues, so it did give the home team an advantage forcing us to change our preferred line-up. Our record on them wasn't too bad though.

Only caught the last twenty minutes or so, looked a decent game but both sides and particularly Torquay fluffed some decent chances, while some great last-ditch defending.

yeah there are players like that - but for every McNulty there is also a Scott Quigley - who scored for fun on 4G (probably because he used to play for TNS who had one)

We've still got to play Barnet as well though. Nice little 5-0 for us next week coupled with Sutton losing to Hartlepool and we're top on goals scored going into the final game (we're away to Alty). Unlikely but I'm clinging to any straws I can find.

i would as well - just make sure you beat Stockport in the play off final if you don't win the league though.....

Most teams actually avoid training on 3G/4G don't they? It's usually only there as an all weather pitch so there's at least one pitch to train on as a last resort.

We had to train on it a lot this season, which did for Nicky Ajose. A pitch that's used every day soon cuts up in Winter

Yeah, it’s a last resort thing for a professional football club.

 

[BarraMatt]

Sutton can wrap up the title with a win against Hartlepool today. A draw would also mean they are likely promoted.

League 2 is becoming more and more like the conference by the season.

That’ll make it even more embarrassing then when you’re relegated next season.

For the 15th consecutive season, by November.

 

[BarraMatt]

All over bar the shouting. 3-0 to Sutton.

 

[valefan16]

Sutton look confirmed and Tranmere now confirmed for next season.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Turf supplier must have caved on the deal negotiations, Sutton home in style

 

[BarraMatt]

Congrats to them, and welcome JaredSUFC.

Get the lawnmower checked. Must be a bit rusty.

 

[Boz]

Prediction : Morecambe lose final, Adams leaves, Morecambe relegated next season.

If Morecambe lose the final and Adams leaves, surely it will depend on who replaces him and how many of their current squad stick around.

 

[AdamStag]

welcome to sutton.

unlucky tranmere!

 

[Agombar stool]

Very well done to Sutton United for making it into the league.

 

[jojo]

 

[Robshep]

welcome to sutton.

unlucky tranmere!

We did what you did 2 years ago. Should have been much better with what we had.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Well it’s official now. I think it’s fair to say that by size of club we’ll be the smallest in the league and our ground is very non-league. And Sutton is boring suburbia. You’ll love it

 

[Robshep]

All these "welcome Sutton" posts will soon disappear when you see the....quaintness of the away facilities on google street view like I have.

A lot of us have played them before.

Will this be our first meeting?

Looking forward to the away day, Sutton is pretty close to me atm so I'm delighted you've come up after losing Wycombe, Charlton, Gillingham, MK Dons & Wimbledon in L1

We're not tinpot enough to have ever played them.

I remember a random friendly 20 years ago between Sutton and Rovers.
