You can drive for 11 hours easily in one direction, lejog is over 800 miles which you'd struggle to do in 11 hours.

Depends how fast you drive

 

[Tony Towner]

I hear it's estimated at 14hrs and 50 mins

Can’t y’all just pick a system of measurement and stick to it!?

Is there an alternative to miles? Yards would be a bit unwieldy once you start going further than down the road. Leagues is a possibility I suppose.

Kilometers, surely?

I think you mean kilometres, no-one in the UK uses kms to measure distance.

Other than weirdo runners.

Kill-oh-met-ruhs? Never heard of ‘em

Whenever I feel like deleting the forum in the midst of an aggressive verdict thread, it’s exchanges like this that stop me

Playoff finals tomorrow for North/South:

Scunthorpe vs Chester
Boreham Wood vs Maidstone

Clearly Maidstone for Big George, don't mind in the North, both are clubs that have been through the ringer with awful owners

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Scunthorpe and Boreham Wood (boo) up

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oldham vs Southend in the Conference playoff, neither belong at that level

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oldham snatch it in extra time

 

[jd1981]

Good to see Oldham back in the league even still league 2 is still a league below their natural level and even then they should be challenging for the second tier.
Agree on Southend to, easily a tier 3 club, again both run extremely badly in the recent past.

York City (finished second on 96 points) have written to the EFL and National League complaining about the fact only two teams go up from the National League. They finished on 23 more points than playoff winners Oldham - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cvgnvjy2014o.

I remember the days when only one team went up and it always seemed grossly unfair given that most National League ('conference', as it was) winners always did pretty well in League Two. I'm not sure the EFL would want three teams leaving the football league every year.

I remember Bath City winning the Southern League by Easter and not getting voted in (I think it was 1977-78. Fell short of election to the league by three fucking votes.

Now that really sucked.

Ouch.

Jersey Bulls were in the Combined Counties League Premier Division South, however will play in the Isthmian League South East Division for the 2025-26 League campaign, following promotion via playoffs.

I don’t know why they don’t just have 5 divisions of 20 teams with the same number of promotion/relegation places in each division.

Agree. More than enough scope as nearly all of the National League is professional now.

Would likely soften the financial blow of relegation from league 2 as well which has a huge impact on clubs.
