Fantastic. Again. What a team 

The whole team have done amazingly well yet again,.. I just hope the injuries arent too bad and they are fit for next week, whoever we end up playing.

RIP George, really sad day, George is a true Alty FC legend in every possible way.
Lovely man, lovely family, he will be very sadly missed by us all 

It will be strange, a lot of prep which could be just for 1 game.  Will this mean that we are unable to firm up our squad until after they are completed in case we are playing in the National?

Great opportunity,.. not too much to lose.
If it were just one game then at least the costs would be a lot less and allow PP more time to sort the squad for NLN.

I think Yusifu would be more effective in some games (due to his pace which gives us another dimension) than Mahoney but suspect he's on contract already. Having said that Mahoney is still very good.

Mahoney ? Do you mean Mooney or Mahon ?

Craig Mahon's nickname is Mahoney

It seems I’m in the minority, but I’m genuinely surprised that anyone thought the playoffs were ever actually going to take place at our level?

At least we (finally) have clarity now, can start looking towards next season, and not fall any further behind those sides who have already started their 2020/21 planning.
We still need a bit of strengthening, but we’ve looked a much better side post-Johnston, and so with a decent start next season there’s no reason we can’t look forward to having a proper run at it next time out.

Completely agree Matt, it did seem extremely unlikely playoffs would happen. How do you know we have fallen behind planning for next season,.. just asking like ?

Well, the other sides at our level have already had the opportunity to get their summer released/retained lists finalised, and also to start signing players for next season. Until last night we didn’t even know if we would be playing national or regionalised football next season. Or if we needed to start arranging short-term summer contracts to cover the 3 games we, theoretically, still had hanging over us from this season.

I don’t think it’s put us at any great disadvantage, but at least now we can start planning with more certainty, and crack on accordingly.

Cant argue with that logic. I have feeling parky plays his cards very close which I like about him. Wouldnt mind betting he's got things well sorted already.
