Can someone (Dr Who perhaps) explain to me how the play off final is set for 5th May, but Grays don't play Bognor at home until 31st May (as shown in the Ryman fixtures on their site)? What if Bognor have a chance of making the play offs before they play that match - would the finals be delayed? I'd like to know, because I missed last season's Div 1S final due to being on holiday. Bad planning then which I don't want to repeat this season, but I'm trying to organise a week in North Wales about then (Portmeirion and the Ffestiniog Railway are calling me)!

Another interesting question would be, what happens if we are in the play offs. There could be a bizarre situation where we are in the play off final but the other team would be promoted no matter what!!! Additionally, I m not sure how the losing semi finalist team would feel, having been beaten by a team who can t get promoted!!!

That's some fixture list Grays have got there!!
As it stands - in the 70 days between 15th February and 26th April, they have 21 games scheduled. That's without their games against Bognor Regis and Cray Wanderers. In addition they've got to fit in their Quarter Final cup tie against Chatham.
So I reckon that's a minimum of 24 games they have to fit in in 70 days .... and that's without any more postponements and assuming that they get knocked out of the cup!
To put that into some perspective - in the 49 days between 27th December 2013 and 14th February 2014, they will have played just 4 games

It is a ryman competition and we are in the ryman league.

I'm pretty sure an FA ruling states that no club should be permitted into the play offs (at any level) if they don't need meet the requirements of the league above.........which of course opens up a whole new can of worms

Even a can of worms wouldn't get far on our pitch...

We can always ground share should we get promoted . Any legal fight won't be sorted by the start of next season in any case .

Far better to highlight the absurdity of the Conference ban by staying in the Ryman and continuing to apply pressure

We could ground share with the mangels, Dulwich can use ours of they don't get promoted. Or we don't get promoted and everyone is happy for a while and Dulwich can share our ground cos we're all best friends. Anyway won't happen. Rather stay at our ground in the Ryman. Piiiiiieeeees.
