The thing with play off games is that although the efforts through out the season get you into that position, at the same time it almost makes them pointless.  A team finishing 5th can go up instead of the team finishing 2nd. At non league level this is only a recent thing and to be honest has mixed feelings with a lot of people.
Saturdays game was such a scenario where Bromsgrove had finished 2nd in the league 4 points ahead of Wilenhall. Obviously in these type of games as mentioned with the Telford game the key thing as Officials is not to be responsible for the outcome of the game.
The pitch was rock hard and didn’t really help with the game and made it a little more nervy. Also with the pitch being on a slope sideways running was a bit of a nightmare I found. A couple of times I rolled my ankles which is never pleasent![]()
Luckily again we were not an influence in the result as Bromsgrove won 2-1 with a winner 10 minutes to go in extra time. Â
