       For anyone struggling with the FArcical play off situation at
       step 4 promotion, tonight's game is as follows:
       If Horsham win they go up.
       If Ashford win they can ONLY go up if BOTH Brighouse and
       Cinderford win their play-off finals on Saturday and Monday
       respectively.
       Bearing in mind neither Brighouse nor Cinderford can go up under
       any circumstances that particular "double" is probably long
       odds.

       Well Horsham duly won and go up.
       Heybridge Swifts now are in the same position as Ashford were -
       they can ONLY go up if BOTH Brighouse and Cinderford win their
       play-off finals on Saturday and Monday respectively.
       Given that their play off is Sunday they could be out of it by
       then.
       Horsham's result is bad news for Radcliffe, Yate and Leek whose
       hopes rest with an unlikely combination of other outcomes.

       Does anyone know how these games were arrived at? Were they
       drawn randomly or based on performance? I doubt was the second
       as the clubs involved WT and KL gained 84 and *) points
       respectively whilst MP and TA were on 78 and 70 respectively
       from their seasons.
       If they could sort it for promotion to the NLS & NLN why not for
       the others?

       They were allocated by the authorities who reserved the right to
       do so based on geographical or "other" reasons. So in this case
       almost certainly geographical.

       They were decided prior to start of the season and based on
       geographical location.

       Cheers aaa
       So they could quite easily have done the same throughout then
       rather than having meaningless play off games. There's so many
       teams in the North/south split zone it's not a major issue to
       work out placings!!

       What was decided prior to the start of the season was that the
       FA Leagues Committee would allocate based on the most suitable
       geographical basis once the teams were known.
       Had the qualifying teams been, for example, Brightlingsea,
       Leiston, Hednesford and Merthyr the cross divisional pairings
       would have been different.
       While I'm here, let me thank you for all your efforts throughout
       the season keeping us informed of all those myriad appointments
       !!! Thank you, indeed.
       ..... and Toprefm yes they could.
