Well that’s it. Today (24th April) saw the last round of games in yet another exciting season in the Blue Square Premier. Although the top part of the table was already decided, there was still much to play for down at the bottom, with 5 teams all battling to survive.
Here’s what happened:
Stevenage finished the season off in style as they beat York City 1-0 and lifted the Blue Square Premier trophy they won last weekend at Kidderminster.
The other promotion place will be decided between Luton Town, Oxford United, Rushden & Diamonds and York City in the play-offs.
The play-offs will start next Thursday with Luton Town playing York City and Rushden & Diamonds playing Oxford United, with the winners earning the chance to play at Wembley.
With Grays Athletic already being relegated several weeks ago, the remaining two relegation places were up for grabs between Ebbsfleet, Gateshead, Forest Green, Eastbourne and Histon.
However Ebbsfleet and Forest Green were the unlucky ones this time and joined Grays in being relegated. Despite winning 4-3 away at Tamworth, that wasn’t enough for Ebbsfleet, who finished just above Grays with 44 points. Forest Green lost 2-1 at Grays Athletic and went down on goal difference by 3 goals, finishing with 45 points.
In the other games down at the bottom, Gateshead beat AFC Wimbledon 1-0 and will look forward to their second season in the Blue Square Premier, staying up with a better goal difference than Forest Green. Eastbourne beat play-off bound Oxford 1-0 and Histon drew 2-2 at home to Barrow.
