York / Rochdale


League Two is massively skewed in favour of the clubs in the league already. 4 promoted but only 2 relegated.
 
It should be 3 up/3 down as the top of the national league isn't any worse than the bottom of league 2. Since they moved to 2 promotion/relegation spots there hasn't been a side going straight back down in their first season after promotion, but they will need league 2 clubs to vote for it which will never happen.
 
York manager was interviewed on Radio 4 Today this morning. That might never have happened before. He did a good job, got the 3 up 3 down message in, right on cue.

The current system is a double edged sword. You might think the turkeys might never vote for Christmas but you'd have to be pretty naive to think that you're never going to go down and then it's really hard to get back out again. Probably in everyone's interests to level it up really.

My old gaffer one of the 50 banned. 96th minute winner, fans pile forward and a section of boards give way. Absolute ridiculous decision what has not come from the club but the stadium owners.

Today they have removed the ban from the u18s after they had a talking to from the local police. Adults are still banned for their home game against Yeovil tomorrow.

Was it the Stadium Owners not the club that banned them or something like that
 
Been to both grounds as a Hartlepools Fan and both have a cracking set of Fans who deserve EFL Football and indeed both their Teams merit promotion this Season... ...personally would like to see York City Promoted as Champions....They play exciting football and as the stats testify, bang the goals in...Beat Pools 5-3 last Season when I was there and as I say their Fans are sound.......Rochdale too have some decent fans, Pools beat them 2-1 with a terrific Free Kick last I was down there and their Fans took it in good spirit although like Hartlepools, they too strive to be back in the EFL.

Best outcome for me this Season both promoted.....Darrell Clarke in at Hartlepools and both Pools and Carlisle promoted back to the EFL next Season.

Ha'way the Lads...Up the Pools and Ha'way the Mariners!!.......Shields, Pools and the Heed in the National League should be fun. 😎

Yeah the stadium owners banned them out of the blue during the week. One thing I find bizarre about it all, and poor from the football club side.

They sent the official emails and letters out to all supporters banning them. Then the owners came out in support of the fans and kicked up a fuss on social media.

Why didn’t they push back to the stadium owners before firing the emails and letters out? Whole thing seems badly handled from all sides.
