Following the announcement earlier today that Gateshead are ineligible to compete in this season’s National League play-offs, the League wishes to make the following statement.

National League rules state that in the event of a club being removed from the play-offs and not being replaced, the structure of the draw should be adjusted based on final league positions.

Therefore, the League can now confirm an amended play-off schedule as follows:

Wednesday 24 April – 7pm
Eliminator A – Solihull Moors v FC Halifax Town

Saturday 27 April – 5.30pm
Semi-Final – Barnet v Solihull Moors/FC Halifax Town

Sunday 28 April – 4pm
Semi-Final - Bromley v Altrincham

The League hopes this now clarifies its position on the National League play-offs.
