[Football] National League Play Off

[atfc village]

If anyone is interested 7pm KO on BT Sport tonight Aldershot take on Ebbsfleet . Not very confident at all and yes it's POTG.

Good away day Aldershot ;-)

Oldies with with long memories may remember Bradford dropping out of the League in 1970, to be replaced by Cambridge. It's not on TV but tonight Bradford play away at Kidderminster Harriers in the Vanarama North play-off (it's only one leg). Bradford won there 2-1 on Saturday to qualify for the play-offs so we're hoping lightening can strike twice. They've never got this high before since re-forming, and they're massive underdogs. And frankly the Conference will be a struggle if they do make it as they won't be able to go full-time.

Anyway, UTA!

Think they will win tonight,but can't see anyone getting past Tranmere.

Is Tweeting near Ebbsfleet then? I wondered where it was, it does sound like it should be a Sussex village though.

Mate just left work to head down. Massive Aldershot fan. I'll be tuning in to support them. He didn't seem too confident.

Not a fan of this new play-off system (4th plays 7th and 5th versus 6th and then the winners of those ties play 2nd or 3rd)

My memory says it was Bradford Park Avenue, can't recall a league team called Bradford

They were called Bradford. The teleprinter referred to them as Bradford, and the crest on their stand read BFC. Unlike the Manchester or Bristol teams only Bradford City had a second part to their name so Bradford themselves stuck the (Park Avenue) bit on to differentiate themselves from the Manningham lot. They put it in brackets, Bradford (Park Avenue), to try and give the impression that it was a 'sort of' unofficial, not really part of the name, but they would tolerate it.

However they've been gone too long, and outside of a few hundred stubborn Yorkshire folk everybody else now associates the name 'Bradford' with Bradford City. So much so that last season the club gave up the struggle and officially changed their name to Bradford Park Avenue (no brackets). Wasn't popular with the fanbase!

Hoping Ebbsfleet do it as a mate of mine is a fan, and Steve Gritt is assistant manager there.

I am, however, ETERNALLY disappointed that Ebbsfleet have a centreback there called Mambo, but he's NOT their No5. He' wears 18. I mean WTF ?

One of my earliest memories is watching us draw 2-2 at the Goldstone with Bradford Park Avenue in the 4th division. I think Kevin Hector was their star player

There must be a " Great Tweeting " and a " Little Tweeting " or even an " Upper Tweeting " and a " Lower Tweeting "

Woo hoo! 2-0! Bring on Brackley!

 

[Superphil]

Ebbsfleet were 3-1 down in the pen shoot out, came back and won it 5-4, Shots keeper took a pen and it was saved.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Shots have had a shocker there. 3-1 up after 3 each. Score either of their last two to go through and miss both. Then lose on sudden death. Ouch.

The definition of TIN pot is Aldershot

I love it. Much better because it means you have an advantage for finishing higher in the league. My non league team is brackley. We host Bradford on Sunday. They have been flying recently with six or seven wins (including against us) in a row. We now have everyone fit so hopefully we win on Saturday and Chorley can upset Harrogate.

Imagine a play off final on Sunday week and the FA trophy the following week. It won't get better than thisbsupporting tiny brackley.
