It's almost like people are realising that the standard of this league is utterly terrible.

Of course the standard is terrible, I mean we've been 4th best since Stuey Lewis signed, ahead of both FGR and D&R, and yet both Lincoln and Tranmere's reserves were comfortably better than us. On 2nd half of the season form it really has to be 2 from 3, Lincoln, Tranmere and Aldershot

More like our 3rd or 4th team! To be pedantic..

We can't judge on one game. Let's not forget that in 4 attempts this season we haven't registered a win against either of those side. Terrible game, but they're both dangerous teams when it clicks.

Not only was it a terrible game but the crowd for a Play Off game. remember 2 clubs not only playing to get promoted but also to go to Wembley, was a pathetic 2200. Shocking that IMO

Only two thousand but I predicted it, fans don't win you games but dodgy refs do!

Only one team wanted to win that game, forest green need to come at us and if they play like that at home I'm confident.

Scunthorpe only took 396 to Millwall in the League 1 play off this evening. Puts it into perspective.

And Fleetwood took 559 to Bradford for what is an hour and a half journey. Tiny club though.

Just don't increase your attendances if you start doing well, that's not allowed apparently!

Thought it was a good first half but the 2nd half got very scrappy as both teams realised a draw was actually a solid result to take into the 2nd leg. Nobody took any chances which made for a cagey game. The pitch is awful too which didn't help as FGR wanted to pass it around and our control let us down at times. Have to laugh at some of the opinions above anyway. Tranmere haven't won anything yet. Ourselves and FGR both beat them at their place. Over 2 legs, I wouldn't be as confident but in a one off game, I think either side who played tonight could get the better of them at Wembley.

Cagey is the right word I think. Both teams seemed petrified of losing. Understandable really. All to play format the weekend for both sides. I still reckon FGR will edge it, but could flip a coin really.

Both playing like they don't want to be outnumbered 10 to 1 by Tranmere at Wembley*


*might have just been a bad game.

Dunno, have you seen the ticket prices?!

https://thenationalleague.org.uk/playoffs.php?Tickets#Play_Off

£1 to use your own printer, £3 booking fee, and £41 on top of that. I hate what our national game has become.

It's not going to woo the floating fans, that's for sure. Shall we just stay down here where the ticket prices are sensible?

Game was cagey, all to play for Sunday.

Me and quite a few others had to stand on the steps cos Daggers had overfilled the stand.

I know some of our stewards are twats but Daggers are something else. They tried to take down our flags before the game and then chucked out a few of our lot for doing fuck all other then singing and "making gestures" at home fans.

Disgrace.

Draw is probably a fair result but you could argue that we should have won it - especially on the first half performance where we were on top I'd say. On the penalty, I was in the TBS behind the goal down the far end, but from where I was it I initially thought it was a penalty (dependent on the referee's position, I can understand why he gives it). It's a farcical dive, though. I was more pissed off about the build up that led to it, we gave it away and allowed FGR to breeze through, was really poor.

I think we can take FGR on Sunday and I'm looking forward to going down there after tonight. They're no great shakes in my opinion and I do genuinely think we have a better side than them.

Disgrace.

Not defending them, but they probably took down the flags if they were covering something (that's just a thing whether you like it or not). I saw them trying to tear the big one off a number of your supporters in fairness, which was over the top.

There are cheaper ones, and with all the addons, are cheaper than the price I paid for my play-off final ticket in 2011 (£41 as opposed to £45). I have to ask though, why are the National League tickets more expensive than the EFL? Last year I paid £26 each (£29 includling addons) for the League Two final.

Just back, agree it was a poor game that I thought Daggers had the better of, so pleased with the draw. Someone at half time said he though Omar dived for our pen but I of course didn;t see it (really,in a corner up far end). Not even sure what we were trying and failing to do half the time,Noble very poor by his standards and Cooper junior back to his pointless diving worst. Daggers had much the better approach work and created some 'situations' but don't actually remember many shots troubling Sam. Not that we did any better.
Of course Sunday will be a feast of silky football on the bowling green that is the New Lawn

You did not fill the stand you you just decided to congregate in the middle of it if you went to your left a little there was empty seats, you had an over spill section too but your fans that arrived a little late ignored stewards request to sit in it. The flag was removed as it was covering advertising, any ground you go to you can't do this. All season our fans have been ejected for guesturing at away fans, zero policy of this at daggers this season. OTT stewarding yes but no real surprise when that little rabble you have (we have a few) spend 90 minute frothing at the mouth looking towards home fans.

But yes some of our stewards are idiots and deal with stuff completely the wrong way.

See you Sunday.
