The Play Offs in the National League are 6 places and so Altrincham's win only puts them through to a semi final game against York - Gateshead go to Boston.Play my Parents local side Gateshead in the final.
I don't think any club with any ambition would turn it down. I bet Chorley's coffers increased last year thanks to a year in the Conference. I bet it'd keep you going for a few years if nothing else.Many at Aitrincham don’t want promotion too much travel for part time players who need to hold down other jobs and cannot risk taking on professionals.
