Gateshead take on Cambridge United for the privilege of
joining Luton Town in the Football League Two next season. The game is at Wembley today at 4pm. Halifax Town
and Grimsby Town fell at the semi-final stage in their campaign to regain full
league status. Looking at the Skrill Conference Table there are a number of ex
league clubs hoping to join the big time as soon as possible; can you name them? At the bottom of
League Two, Bristol Rovers and Torquay United fall out.
At the other end of the table, Burton Albion will play
Fleetwood Town at Wembley next week, to decide who is promoted. After Burton's team bus broke down on its way south to play in the away leg of the semi-final play off, Gary
McGurk, who scored goal in the home fixture at the Pirelli Stadium, made manager Gary Rowett smile by grabbing another goal to win the tie overall. Another strike on Southend's home ground at
Roots Hall, secured the victory 3-2. Alas, the Shrimps found the hot afternoon too much, despite dominating the
first half. There was nothing manager
Phil Brown could do to raise his troops, not even employing the old trick of keeping his team on the pitch at half time or bringing Jimmy Bullard on to do the team talk. The Brewers from Burton did not droop however, as they put in a pedigree performance to win their play off place at the
national stadium.
