  1. Your City finished in 2nd place in the National League. They amassed 96 points, scored 95 goals & won 29 games, but unfortunately for them they lost their playoff semi to Oldham 0:3.

    Their defeat, in a one off match, has resurrected once again, the debate on possibly allowing the top 2 teams to go up automatically from the National League & the 3rd place team going into a promotion playoff.

    What do PON members think. Is it time for 3 up from the national league, which could mean 3 teams being relegated from League 2?

      9 times of of 10 96 points in any other league gets you promoted, so I totally feel for all the York fans right now.

      I think the 2 relegation spots in League 2 give teams a false sense of security at times, but the reality is if you get relegated into the NL it is so much harder to come straight back up - as we know all to well! 3 up and 3 down will actually make it easier to get back into the EFL if you do get relegated.

      I think had we not gone up in our season where we got 107 points, it would've sparked some sort of action. But because we won the play-offs, everyone got to say the right outcome happened, so in the end it didn't really matter. I can see this topic and debate dragging for a long while yet.

      I didn’t actually listen to the post-match interview until now (because I just wanted to forget about the match over the weekend) but it does give me a strong impression that Stuart will be here next season.

      He does sound very confident he’ll be here next season, I’m pretty sure the if he was unsure he would’ve probably said so because he is usually pretty honest. He doesn’t mention anything like a meeting with the owners or new director of football to discuss his future...

      We desperately need new coaches so I’m glad at the very least that will be addressed. I still find the bit about not adding coaches “because it had the potential to upset the group” a tad strange though. The coaches we would’ve bought in would’ve fit the club’s style, they wouldn’t have bought in coaches with totally opposing ideas!
