Decisions, decisions

Bloody well done to both Kidderminster and Chorley for well and truly dropping the ball and allowing Boston and York to reach the play-off semi finals.  They had one job.....

The play-off's now (for the next few hours) look like this: -

Brackley v York

Fylde v Boston

I wouldn't have minded either Kiddy or Chorley going up - Kiddy without their pies is a nothing game.  Chorley?  Never been there, never wanted to.

I've reached the difficult stage of having to chose a promotion candidate from one of four teams that for various reasons I don't want to go up.

 

Obviously we don't want Brackley to get promotion as it puts us firmly back into third place in the County.  No, it's much funnier watching them blow the play-offs EVERY year and listen to Radio Northampton desperately trying to create some sort of rivalry between us and them.

York should stay down to keep their entitled fans in their place.  And York is a great place to visit.  And any team we do the double over shouldn't be good enough to get promoted.

We need Boston to stay with us because games against them still have an old-school flavour.  Forgetting for a moment their manager, we've all enjoyed tussling with Boston for so many years that it would be a shame for it to end.  For a season.

So that leaves Fylde.  Their sense of entitlement eclipses York's.  2022 indeed.  As a club they were screwed the moment Blackpool FC stopped being such a basket case and took all their supporters back.  And their manager (a the time of writing) seems an, interesting character....

So.....I guess Fylde by a short head from Brackley if I was forced to nail my reluctant colours to an equally reluctant mast!  Cox to stay down and be sacked by Boston by November.  We can but hope.

Fylde it is then....I suppose.
