Wembley wembley going to Wembley!

[Rich]

Town!

[Thrilla]

Are you guys going to the game? How much are tickets?

[Rich]

I'm buying us tickets tomorrow, they are not cheap (£36 or £41)

[Gazz]

For a tenner more you could go see Stoke vs Hull at the arse end of November.

[Rich]

I am so excited to go to Wembley again it's ridiculous

I doubt many will pay much attention to the non-league but Guiseley and Boreham Wood have just earned promotion today to the National League (formerly the Conference Premier) via the Play Offs. Guiseley came from 2-0 down away at Chorley to win 3-2, whilst Wood won it 2-1 in extra time against Whitehawk. Very pleased for both sides, they've been knocking on the door for a few seasons now.

[Hobo]

The National League sounds a little bit fascistic.

[Lineker]

Borehamwood! That's 5 minutes down the road! Amazing.

[Colly]

North Shields won the FA Vase. Might as well keep it up north.

*adds Boreham Wood to list of Lineker's teams*

Gutted.

I care about Non-League and have been posting about it a lot

Used to live not far from Grimsby (my parents still do). Would be nice to see them win this weekend. Football in Lincolnshire has been pretty woeful in the last decade or so.

I've been to Gypsy Tears in Cleethorpes...that makes me an honourary Grimsby fan.

I want them to win but I wouldn't tell my friend that

The ITV digital deal collapsing really fucked them up and they've never really been the same since. Back to back relegations, floundering in League 2 and then struggling initially in the conference before making it to the playoff semis twice. Be nice to see them back in the Football League.

Telford used to be my non-league team due to their awesome team on some version of Champ Manager with Scott Huckerby and others, but then they went down the swanny and got revived as AFC Telford, and it just never felt the same

[DavidMarrio]

My local non league team would be Prescot Cables who finished 20th in the Northern Premier League Division One North.

I should probably go down and watch them play one day.

Gypsy Tears is a dive.... Like most bars in Grimsby/Cleethorpes

They opened up a new "cocktail" bar last year, the cocktails were friggin' awful, they all tasted like the cheapo ones in 'Spoons
