Does anyone know what happens to the NLD if Arsenal reach the next round of the UCL?

Huge congrats to DB and the team. Must be one of our most sustained seasons league position wise. Not forgetting having the most settled managerial period for ages!

Listened to the Halifax manager's post match interview. Loved how he blamed their slow start ( and so conceding 2 goals ) on the Accrington hospitality. If we get them in the P.O. semi we'll have to go to town with the Welcoming Mat!

"We were the better team...but Barnet deserved to win"

From Arsenal Website
The match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is scheduled to take place on Sunday April 28 at 14:00pm, but dependent on our potential UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg with either Manchester City or Real Madrid taking place on Tuesday 30th April, this game could move to Saturday April 27 at 12:30pm. Should the game move, original tickets with the initial date/time will remain valid for entry.

Very accomplished performance.

Two quick goals, and well taken I might add, followed by a solid performance.

3 wins from league two

It's 2 wins

An excellent performance against a useful team who had most of play in second half.

Stand out players for me were Croker and Cropper who prevented Halifax from dominsting the wings, and loved the moment Okimo crept up front for about 2 minutes.

Collinge getting back to his best and thought Brunt got stuck in.

When Kanu playing up front on left ball is not reaching him often enough. Coker and midfield have to find a way to address this.

Keeley's handling was excellent, saved a couple of goal opportunities.

Special shout out to Halifax's Golden who endured the bulk of terrace "banter". His winning smile did not get them the 3 points

25 wins from 45 is an awesome achievement. I remember being as worried as others about the tricky start of season but the team took it in their stride and pushed on..

DB’s recruitment is absolutely spot on, virtually every signing has worked. I watched Nicke’s interview on a recent podcast where they asked him about the gaffer and he said (affectionately) ‘He’s a madman’, but you can tell just how hard the team and the management squeeze every last drop out of the talent they have..

Didn’t go, but great result, important to get a clean sheet and quite happy finishing 2nd if it avoids Alty who seem like the form team along with ourselves at the moment. Would be surprised if Southend scrape in but if they do they will really fancy their chances.

It seems like we are really well placed and have been ready for this next challenge for a good few months now.

In terms of injuries sounds like Pritch and stead should be fine, agree with comments that it feels like Oluwo won’t make it in time, for me getting Thompson fit is key, without him and Oluwo the 3 at the back option is less appealing.

So neither clashes. Our semi is an evening game and supporters can get to both the old and our match on the same day if so inclined.

Over the last 10 games, we're 2nd behind Alty. A great place to be going into the play offs. No one will fancy coming to the Hive.

Halifax v Oldham is now being played next Thursday at Chesterfield. Oldham fans not impressed.

What are the dates for the play-offs? Are both Semi-finals being played on April 28th? What time is kick off? Does 2nd play the winner of 5th/6th and 3rd vs 4th-7th? I have found conflicting dates online

Really? Every source I find online says both semis are on Sunday 28th. Do you have a link?

Yeah, most places are saying both semis are on the Sunday. This one though says split across two days.
