Guess that Martin Allen must be allowing himself a wry smile after Barnet swapped places with Cheltenham

From Wiki

Allen was suspended by Cheltenham Town and placed on gardening leave pending an internal investigation into allegations that he racially abused a nightclub bouncer. In November Gloucestershire police announced that no action would be taken against Allen concerning the alleged nightclub incident. He remained on leave whilst Cheltenham Town considered his future at the club. On 11 December it was announced he had left the club.

Should be a cracking final. You'd fancy Rovers to bounce straight back but I wouldn't write off Grimsby.

Really poor from Gateshead that they are refusing to pay for the operation their player JJ O'Donnell needs to try and get back playing.

Real lack of class on their part.

Maybe they weren't. But Grimsby and Bristol Rovers were long time league mainstays who didn't go bust and deserve to be back

The season Grimsby went down they went about 27 games without a win before going on a winning run when it was too late. Notts went up that season and we may well be reunited next year. Oddly enough the games between Notts and Grimsby were only 10 days apart because the meeting at Meadow Lane was called off on Boxing Day

Be the biggest crowd at a Conference play-off final?

42,669 is the current record when Oxford beat York in 2010. 33,000 of those were Oxford fans!

Should be comfortably the biggest. Rovers should take 35-40,000 on their own and Grimsby 20,000+ would be my guess.

A side fairly local to me Truro City won the southern league playoffs on Monday and will be in the conference South next season. Cornwallis best team.

Rovers will smash those urchins all over the pitch.

Congrats to North Shields on winning the FA Vase in front of nearly 10,000 fans at Wembley

Big changes next season with both the FA Vase and FA Trophy being played on the same day at Wembley (May 22nd)

Well done to Boreham Wood on their promotion to the Conference!

Fired to promotion by Luton loanee Lee Angol

Yes. Guiseley finally go up. Buzzing my titties of with that news. I am hoping Forest Green and Braintree go up next year.

And I was proudly one of them

1-1 at half-time between Bristol Rovers and Grimsby in the Conference Play-off Final.

Good game so far.

Come on Town!!

We can do it!!!!

Good game so far. Come on Grimsby

Really good game, could go either way.

1-1 at full-time. Will we get a winner in extra time?

it goes to penalties. Bristol Rovers bring on their sub keeper especially for them.

Tough way for one of these to lose now. Both sides have given their all.

Best team alway loses on pens, I hope I'm wrong though!

You've done us proud Grimsby.

First miss to Grimsby.

Bristol Rovers win 5-3 on penalties.

Congrats to them, back in the Football League. commiserations to Grimsby.
