...particularly as the games are only over one leg and the team's final position determines whether they play at home. So the team finishing second will always be at home and the team finishing fifth (Dulwich last year) will always be away.

Ha! Having attended many of them, I have to agree with you, taper. However, I've noticed that - in recent years anyway - this has tended to happen when they've started the season strongly with good placings in the table. This didn't happen this season and so am hoping that an alternative pattern (hopefully the reverse) is emerging...

So get knitting! ;-)

Finishing third is a great advantage because it would get Hamlet a home play off semi final, and just possibly a home final (if the 5th team wins at the 2nd in the semi). Let's all get there on Monday and help them home.


Worth mentioning also that Hamlet have following today's results (barring unrealistic goal difference swings in the last two games) qualified for the playoffs, though we could still finish as low as 5th. (This is because the 4th and 5th teams have yet to play each other, so can't both pass us.)

    • Well worth a read   https://manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-raised-the-flags/
    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
