Having put an impressive second-half of the season together with a small squad of first teamers, the Wings finished in third place in National League South and face Chelmsford Town at Park View Road at 3pm on Sunday in their play-off semi-final. They beat Chelmsford comfortably enough in their league fixture at Park view Road a couple of weeks ago so will be confident of securing a place in the play-off final. If you have a spare afternoon why not get over there and support the Wings. They play good attacking football and have been scoring plenty of goals in the run-in (entrance £12).

To be honest I dont even get why there are Ground issues to go from the National League North / South to the National League (like what Concord Rangers have suffered) - Surely its all under the one body so the ground rules should be across all three Leagues, surely it should change so your either not allowed to go up into the Football League or you just shouldnt be allowed into the National League Regional Level in the first place
Weds 1st May Bath v Wealdstone
Sunday 5th Woking v winner of the above
Sunday 5th Welling v Chelmsford
Sunday 12th May Final with winners from above.
Highest place team has home advantage in Final.
Can't get promoted as they don't have 500 covered seats.
Their average crowd this season...............404.
At the very least (if they did get promoted) they should be allowed a 1 year grace period. I've read that Concord even said they could get it sorted over this summer, but the league said no.

In my opinion it made it a bit of a joke i.e. where do you draw the line in terms of entering the next team down (i.e. Hampton finished two places outside the Play-Offs that year but were allowed in)
doubt they are eager to pay for the work if they don’t get promoted, what’s wrong with waiting and seeing what happens in the playoffs.
I believe there is a time scale for work to be carried out during the season for the following season. Surely if a club has an ambition to progress and they are near the top then they should make sure that they can get the work done in time or be disappointed.
Still find it remarkable Brentford are allowed Terrace in the championship
To meet requirements clubs have to build random covered terrace stands, no bigger than a bus shelter at times. This could cost 5K upwards, and these clubs are getting double figure gates.
Most likely some fat guy in a suit made the figure up at a lunch meeting.
Beats me why a club who don't even get crowds of 500 have to have 500 covered seats or they can't go up.
Still, am free on the 12th when we’re in the final.
Is John Bartley still banging them in at PVR?
