Really pleased by this news - I thought Tranmere would win quite easily.
I think they could do quite well in the Football League and would like to see one or two of our youngsters loaned to them rather than go to play on the County's mud heap.

Apparently County's mud heap is not going to be a mud heap for much longer following the acquisition of NGD & Newport RFC as well as Rodney Parade by the WRU. Investment in the ground and playing surface is very much on the cards.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson

Interesting club and owner.
I see that they are the first ever vegan football club ( if wiki is to be believed) and are almost certainly the smallest place to hoist league football.
Should we draw them in the cup or they achieve the stated aim of championship football not sure how our focus driving and Clarks meat pie munching support are going to adjust to their environment.
Great to see a little club win though although that Tramnere Rovers captain looked like a Sunday morning pub player.
Pleased for them. As a veggie def on my to do list.
Until I checked earlier on, I had always wrongly assumed the club was based in Staffordshire. Their ground's called The New Lawn (which gets top marks for blandness), and their Chairman could be easily mistaken for a smackhead. Here he is, Mr Dale Vince.

Is Nailsworth the smallest town to have a League club? Population 5,800.
Well done to them. For a small club it seems they have a bit of money behind them so might be able to consolidate next season - although this resulted in a rebrand a few years ago, so whether all fans were happy with the way the club has progressed it I'm not sure.
I don't think many were too bothered by the change from black & white stripes to green and black hoops.
Understatement.
Heard on the radio earlier that FGR may be in breach of FFP rules.
To get around this the chairman (allegedly) has released shares in the club and bought them himself.
Whether there is any truth in this rumour, time will tell.
Cardiff have visited several times over the years for pre-season friendlies, so should be used to the peculiar nature of food served.
Plans to have a new (wooden) stadium built near Eastington Junction 13 on M5.
Potentiallly a new Wigan?

During the season FGR beat Tranmere 1-0 away and drew 2-2 at home, so not a huge shock but Tranmere did have the momentum going into the match.
Apparently teams finishing third in the 5th tier have had an uncanny knack of promotion.
