The National League play-offs. Where exactly do you start?!?!? This past week it’s really blown up off the pitch when on it the action has really delivered in abundance.

Let’s start with the good stuff, well for Oldham and Southend Utd fans it is, not so much for York City and Forest Green Rovers. The former of course are heading to Wembley in just under a week’s time whilst the latter will feel aggrieved it’s not them having finished second and third behind champions Barnet and points miles in front of the others.

The Latics and Shrimpers were well worth their wins and a trip to the capital but there is a lot behind these wins that don’t sit right with a lot of people and not just for the fans of the losing clubs but also those Wembley bound, so grab a subscription via the offer below and see what you think about the in’s and out’s of what can only be described as a ‘bury your heads in the sand’ moment.
