THEY WON'T BE DANCING IN THE STREETS OF PORT VALE.

So much going on this weekend as clubs fall by the wayside and others survive, We saw Mallorcan joy yesterday in the last minute of the game as the home side grabbed three vital points. Salvation? Possibly not, as their next match is against Real Valladolid who are 8th in the division. Elche who slipped nearer the relegation places by losing yesterday, play bottom and already OUT club Mirandes at home next so probably all will be well for them.

I  was distressed also to hear that OC Andy Brewer, a resident in Palma was at the game yesterday and got in FREE having been given tickets by locals treated by the club to ensure a decent turn out. Aaarggh. Had he read my previous blog stating that I was in Mallorca, did he use social media warning me that there were free tickets? Come on Andy where's the old boy hospitality!! The next time you are near Barnsley........

And to sum up the ups and downs of yesterday:
Tranmere get through to the National Play Off Final beating Aldershot on aggregate 5-2. Forest Green Rovers and Dagenham and Redbridge stand at 1-1 and play today. The winner will meet Tranmere, who hope to get back into the  Football League after two years.

York City fall again this time from the National League along with Braintree, Southport and North Ferriby United.

Newport County some how survive in the Sky Bet League Two as Hartlepool and Leyton Orient don't. The Welshmen score in the 89th minute to beat Notts County and survive. Hartlepool beat already promoted Doncaster 2-1 but cannot avoid the drop. Here's a poem to celebrate County's success.
Out of League One are Port Vale (the only club in the EFL not in a place. Work that out? and what's the link with Raith Rovers), Swindon, Coventry and Chesterfield. Wigan and Rotherham are out of the Championship and Sunderland doomed.

Finally Pompey leap from third to first in League Two thumping Cheltenham 6-1. They won seven of their last eight matches. Close rivals Plymouth get promoted, but only drew with Grimsby, along with Doncaster.
