Let's Have A Thread About non-league Cheaterfurlough

[Bros]

Spireites run in is hard. They've got 4 top 6 teams in their last 10 games.

Their 10 remaining games reads as... 3 hard games, 4 easy games and finish on a hard away game.

3+4+1=8
County have got 9 to play

Just shows what a farce the National League has become. There should be no easy games. Taking relegation away has made the competition a lottery. The bottom half teams have nothing to play for. Surely if relegation has been ruled out, then promotion should be too.

As I said in a previous post, this would then put L2 in the same position so would you advocate no promotion from L2 ? If so, then it would continue to trickle upwards to the point where the whole English football season was meaningless.

I think you’re doing a disservice to a lot of teams/players by saying that. Look at Barnet yesterday who won again and they’re the only team in the league with nothing to play for. Even the team 3rd bottom can still mathematically make the play offs it’s that wide open still.

[chip63]

Does finishing 18th get more than 19th etc..unlike the professional leagues.

[Dan]

Not sure but I thought that’s what did happen in our leagues.

No Dan, was reading about it this week.
We all get the same share from the "the pot"

[kevin kents tasce]

I’m sure that there is no reward for placings in EFL.

There might be prize money for winning the league or getting promotion, but there is no difference between 8th and 18th etc

[HitchcocksShins]

I hate the ESL because there's no competition in it, also, ban relegation and promotion from the conference

Ah right. I wonder when that changed as we used to get a payment for wherever we finished in the league.

You make a good point Dave. It's got to start somewhere. The lowest league (National League) is the sensible place to start. However, I still maintain promotion in the National League has become a lottery. Not just the teams you have to face in the run in. Also those who were given loans and those who were declined them. It has made the run in an uneven playing field.

As for Dan's point, I think it was Altricham that Barnet beat. Neither side had anything to play for as Altrincham's push for the playoffs was over. Let's see how Barnet, Kings Lynne etc fair against the top ten sides.

I think Cheaterfield have a good chance of gaining promotion through the playoffs. I think Stockport are the only side currently stronger. Hartlepool have issues as they will lose loan players prior to the playoffs. I think our other neighbours won't make the playoffs.

Agree here mate the spires have to be second fave to go up.... As much as it pains me to say lol
I actually fancy stockport to take the top spot over torquay which will drop another strong contender in the playoff lottery..personally id like halifax to come up.

County have blown it (for the second season running)

I think they will make the playoffs but fail to get through them. The top3 are all better teams and should be good enough to see them off whichever ultimately wins the league.

Next season is crunch time if they don’t make it this time around and with variants running riot in Covid, there is still no guarantee that next season will see unlimited crowds return. Unless they get money through the door, I can only see bankruptcy and liquidation for the twisted ones.

[yorkshire stag]

would rather the bedwetters come up than the Cheats

[bellwhiff]

They won’t come up.

[Spireite1983]

It'll be tough if Stockport don't win the league......... bloody hate Stockport proper bogey team

My best mate is a Spireite
He’s said the same

I don't think Sutton are a better team than Cheaterfield. They seem to be struggling at the moment. Hopefully either of the other two (Hartlepool or Torquay), will be able to hold off Stockport from the title. As I think Stockport would prove to be clear favourites to win the playoffs.

[awalkinthepark]

Sutton have identical form to Chesterfield over last six games.

[yorkshire stag]

come on you mighty Sutton ....i say
