The half time score from the Play Off Final:
AFC Fylde 0 Ashton United 1.
Martin Pilkington put Ashton ahead on 7 minutes when Fylde keeper Ben Hinchcliffe came out for the ball and missed it, leaving Pilkington to tap into an empty net.
1-1 now as £ylde have equalised
Ramsbottom get promoted from D1N and Belper from D1S
£ylde won on pens so go up.
Good result for us? Well financed but not well supported so good for us they have gone up.
WHS.
From a personal point of view im glad Ashton lost as its one of my favourite away trips, plus ive never been to Ramsbottom or Belper so another couple of grounds to tick off not forgetting next seasons first visit to FCUMs new ground!
That’s if it’s finished. Looking at the photos they are nowhere near and they haven’t even begun to lay a pitch yet.
I personally wouldn’t be surprised if they are still at Gigg Lane or Staylybridge next season
Agree with matt, Ashton is one of the better away days and fylde is just lifeless!
I noticed that there was over 1100 at fylde yesterday,now where did they all come from? They don’t normally get that many in four games!!
Fylde were putting on free buses from Bloomfield Rd after Blackpools match finished to attract more support
Now we know who are in our league next season Mr. Pritchard can get on with planning to win it!!
WHS.
Well that might explain it then.
It must be nice to have the money to do things like that but at the same time it’s a bit poor that you need to do that to get a decent gate at home in a play off final!!!
Personally if I was a fylde fan I’d be more than a little bit concerned!

how did gateshead get 8000+ in the play offs they struggled to get 200 when we played em
They’re done with Gigg. Playing the first month or so at Stalybridge but they expect the ground to be ready early in the season.
Gateshead’s Gate boosted by a few thousand Newcastle fans apparently. Rumour has it that if the Mike Ashley/Alan Pardew axis continues to rule St James Park these fans may adopt Gateshead as their club as an alternative to forming an FC Newcastle type club.
Great, I enjoyed Belper away when we were in the South! :pie
