No. It's a one-off game at the home of the higher placed team.
thanks all is clear now
Not so, 2 legged semi with 2nd game at highest placed team. Final is at Neutral Venue to be decided by Conference once finalists are known.
SEE 'SINCE WHEN??? etc' POST FOR RULES ON CONFERENCE WEBSITE !
No it isn't. Otherwise we couldn't have a chance of holding it at ML (if we finish 4th and play Halifax in the final).
Ive been reliably informed the Conference has got this one wrong and have incorrect info on their website.
Sorry!
You appear to be correct. According to the Conference website, the final WILL be played at a neutral ground.
I think a great many people on here will be surprised by this! (including me).
