Where I do differ is that I would be upset if GGL was used for a political event. Like it or not, it's a statement by the owner I thought we didn't have owners? :-)

I think in our case it’s the council who own the land.

Given the indiscriminate manner in which they throw their money around it's a small wonder anyone noticed.

Yes, they’re spending loads. How else would a historically county league club be here? Would think keeping Danny Rowe tells you everything you need to know about their finances!

Crowd today at Wembley is 8049. Must be the lowest ever. I understand how amazing it must be to play there, but sure a nutural, more local, smaller ground would create a far better occasion, atmosphere etc. A fullish stadium at Blackpool, or a half full Goodison for example would surely be better.

I'm still waiting to see my team play there. I would be incredibly annoyed should we be denied that opportunity and have to play elsewhere.
I once thought I was in with a chance of playing there, but the Varsity match was switched to Fulham. I didn't make the team anyway, but that too would have been frustrating! Finally my brother, who in my opinion isn't the best in the family, did get to play there once though, although I rather ungallantly dismissed that as a non-competitive fixture!

After Boring Wood's embarrassing rant about Brexit earlier this season, I thought that other National League clubs would have the good sense to leave this highly divisive issue well alone. Not so. I've just noticed that AFC Fylde allowed their ground to be used for a political rally in support of Nigel Farage's Brexit Party on Saturday 4 May. I know they're not the best supported side in our division, but surely there are less desperate ways to boost attendances... Suffice to say, I'll be rooting for Salford in the playoff final. Even more reason to support Fylde then but unfortunately it's money again which has seen Salford into the League. I wnder how they'll fare with Financial Fair Play.

Even sadder, all that money he lavished on her and apparently their "relationship" was strictly platonic. Ironically, only the club got screwed.

So we will know the make up of this league by about 6pm tonight (barring Gateshead or Ebbsfleet dropping out). One short journey and one rather longer.

Gateshead chairman seems confident that they have a budget for next season with a mixture of youth and loan players. However i would mark them down for occupying one of the relegation slots come May next year.
