Solihull 2-0 Ebbsfleet now. Fairly weak deflected shot. Can't see Fleet coming back now - looks like all three points going to Solihull. Alty down to 5th.

The bookies seem fairly certain of our Top 7 status - currently 1/50.Feeling pretty good about the £20 I stuck on at 10/1
There's a YouTube video with a York fan's perspective on the game, along with some very good video highlights of the game. It gives a different perspective on the goals scored at the Chequers end. Stick around to watch his comments after the highlights, he makes some interesting remarks about the J. Davidson Stadium:

For the first time, clubs from the National League (Step One in the football pyramid) all the way to the Premier League will be licensed to compete in men’s elite football competitions in England. The proposed licensing regime will be proportionate to any problems, size and circumstances and involve a system of provisional and full licences, to give clubs time to transition.
It follows a number of issues in recent years including financial mismanagement, breakaway plans for the European Super League, and changes to club names, badges and colours against the wishes of fans.
All clubs will be subject to new baseline requirements enshrined in legislation irrespective of licence status, such as protections against breakaway competitions and stadium relocations.
The provisional licence will require all clubs to meet some mandatory conditions as standard, including basic requirements on fan engagement, corporate governance and financial reporting.
The regulator will then apply additional bespoke licence conditions on clubs, as necessary, to ensure they meet the necessary standards for a full licence across three key areas: financial resources, non-financial resources (such as relevant systems, policies and personnel), and fan engagement.
Fan engagement is a central tenet of the Football Governance Bill and will ensure fans are put back at the heart of the game. As part of the licence, clubs will be required to consult their fans on key off-field decisions, such as club heritage and the club’s strategic direction.
We will need to be at our absolute best for sure - wins instead of draws wherever possible (but avoiding defeat to Gateshead and Oldham key too).
As much as we'd expect to be strong favourites for the home games with Oxford and Wealdstone, the away trips to Dorking, Ebbsfleet and Kiddy will all be tough.
