Have to feel for Shildon after being so far ahead of the other 3. But that’s the beauty of the playoffs.
Makes tomorrow nights game even more interesting. Any of the remaining 3 will fancy their chances.
My money is on Heaton now.

Nothing against West Auckland at all but sums up why I don't like playoffs. A team 5th and 16 points behind 2nd place potentially promoted ahead of them. Goes against the whole ethos of having a lague.

They offered nothing all game so maybe just maybe the better team won

As a neutral. Only one team wanted that game, and it was the team that won.

It was nice to get out of the house tonight seeing a game of football, nice to see some familiar faces as well at Shildon and a good crowd of over 600 saw the game, not the greatest game in the world but 1 goal was all it took in the end!

As a Bishops fan not really too surprised Waste turned them over again.

Like I said it's nowt against West, congrats to them and if they do win the final and go up then good luck to them. Playoffs just don't sit right with me.

Was nothing with with the top 3 being promoted a number of years ago. Not much of a fan of these play offs myself, if they are to stay though it should be the top 2 automatis and 3, 4, 5, & 6 in play offs.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I thought Shildon were coming off the boil at the wrong time & I had a sneaky suspicion that Heaton Stannington could win the playoffs. No disrespect to West & Birtley and I wish them both well. Now Shilldon are out, can someone please answer the question I asked at the same time. How far are the 3 remaining clubs grounds away from being step 4 suitable?

Not sure about heaton and birtley, not been in years
