Yeovil Town relegated tonight (We Will welcome back Jordan Young). The season we were promoted from the Western League we were playing their Reserves!
Weston super Mare promoted this evening.
Torquay lost 5-1 and now need a minimum of 4 points from their last 2 games to avoid 4th relegation place and their last game is home to Wrexham..
That said the Southend United forum still expects the Shrimpers to be thrown out of the National League, should that happen only the bottom 3 would go down.

A lot can change in nine years. In 2013/14, we secured Southern League Premier survival in April whilst Yeovil were playing in the Championship...
On another note, we could we’ll see a shake up to the Boxing Day/NY fixtures with this sudden welcome influx of West Country teams, especially if Truro are promoted too.

Good. Always annoys me how we play Bath pretty much back to back. Should be more spread out if you ask me.

An interesting observation BB. With 4 Somerset sides in the division you can see Bath v Yeovil and WSM v Taunton. If Truro get promotion and Torquay are relegated those two will be paired as Truro play in Plymouth. Not sure who that would leave us with on Boxing Day as Hungerford are likely to go down. However that depends mostly on Truro although Poole are also in the play offs.

Merry Christmas kids, I've got you some tickets for Slough away.

Bishop’s Stortford also promoted to the National League South (probably). They won the Isthmian Premier League last night.

Bishop’s Stortford is more northerly than Oxford so geographically they should go north. However, Oxford may ask to go North, as they have been there already, but who knows the F.A.’s thinking.

Please don’t discuss teams being relegated when they mathematically still have a chance of survival. It may hurt their feeling.
Also don’t form any opinions on players, performances etc..
Just pay your money and watch the games ;-)

Interesting permutations on the last day, especially if Concord get a win against H&W on Thursday. A Weymouth win against Dover could see them safe and Dover or Dulwich swapping places with them.
Be good to keep another west(ish) country team in the division especially as we are losing Hungerford.

I wouldn't mind relegating Dulwich to be honest.
