North Ferriby is a very charming place. It is however, absolutely tiny. It makes Banstead look enormous. The total population of the village is less than 4,000. Is it actually in Hull? Or next to Hull? It's about 9 miles or so west of Hull. There is a train station in Ferriby and it's not that far from the ground. North and South Ferriby is split up by the Humber and there are some interesting local pubs dotted around. I hope they do it. If only for the remarkable statistic that Tranmere's average home attendance is higher than the village population!!

Wow - 13, maybe 14 new grounds for me! Northern monkey, make it 4 new grounds for you - Eastleigh and Boreham Wood will be totally unmemorable To be fair, Andy, Eastleigh's ground has changed quite a bit since Sutton last played there. There's now a massive stand behind the goal at the far end. (Think Woking and you'll get the idea.) My view on that would be "you can't polish a turd, but you can cover it in glitter".

And of course Mr Butterfingers Julian, who apparently has had a good season at Bromley...

Forest Green went through to the play-off final after their 1-1 draw last night (winning 2-1 on agg) so we'll renew acquaintances with Dover again next season.

Looking at Braintree Vs Grimsby the main difference for me between the National and the South is the defensive organisation.
Attacking wise, I would only have Padraig Amond from Grimsby, our attack is so dangerous! I think we would give both of these two a game.

It'll be North Ferriby United Vs AFC Fylde in the Northern final after Ferriby reversed a 2-0 first leg defeat with a 3-0 victory over Boston. Fylde drew with Harrogate at home after earning an away win earlier in the week.
