So coming up will be Horsham and maybe Merthyr.

Who do we want from the play offs?

Isthmian; 1 from Billericay, Cray Valley, Dartford, Dover
Southern; 1 from AFC Totton, Walton & Hersham, Gloucester City, Dorchester

For me anyone but Dover. Obviously we have history with Walton and Hersham.

 Crap choice from the Isthmian! I’ll go with Cray just for somewhere new.

Southern, prefer Walton for locality, then AFC Totton, Dorchester, Gloucester.

Having been to Cray last season I wouldn't get too excited about visiting there if I were you! No idea how they would ever manage to make the Step 2 ground grading.

Got a new ground haven’t they? Yes looks quite basic but I’m sure they have plans to expand if they go up. Bored of visiting the other 3 who we’ve played alot over the years. Plus I’d expect Cray would be the weaker of all 4 sides.

I'm not aware of a new ground. The fact that they're looking at achieving back-to-back promotions tells you that they've got a decent manager, playing squad budget and side. So if they do make it up I wouldn't expect them to be push-overs. We shall see.

Sorry mixing them up with Cray Wanderers. No I meant they’d be weaker in terms of budget compared to those other 3.

I'll go for Cray Valley (somewhere new) and AFC Totton.

Pictures of Cray Valley's ground which looks pretty basic.

Agree with Cray as somewhere new to go to. 

Walton or Gloucester for me. Walton for the locality and Gloucester's ground was decent and easy to get to last season when we played Truro there. Has to be a chance they'd end up back in the North with a re-structure though.

Purely from a selfish point of view, Gloucester City as it's only 10 miles away....   Having a feeling they and/or Merthyr may end up North though.

I think one of them will. Particularly as all but Fylde of the Step 1 relegatees will come south.
