I missed it- it was on Sky Sports News-
My daughter has just kept me on the 'phone for an hour moaning about her boss- and I couldn't really take in the information.
It looks as though three teams have already been relegated- well they're in red on the table and have R by them. One I know is Leigh.
I couldn't see who is in the play off positions.
Could anyone tell me?

Leigh and Farnborough are relegated. It looks like Forest Green will the other one, though Northwich are not out of trouble yet.
Up top Carlisle, Hereford and Aldershot are in the play offs. Can't rememebr the other one off hand - maybe Exeter or Halifax.

Carlisle, Hereford, Then Morecambe, Aldershot, Stevenage and Exeter I'm unsure of from the BBC's table, as I'm not sure if there's a game to play for each yet (dunno if the table's fully updated with tonight's results)

Forest Green are down, can't catch Northwich who have done well to escape after their 10 point penalty.(Others as listed in earlier replies) All have 1 game to go.

Thanks for that! It was a wonder Leigh didn't get relegated last year. I feel for them, really, as they get so little support, being situated where they are- not only in a Rugby League area- but so near a lot of Premiership or Championship Football Teams- Wigan, Man-U, Man.City Liverpool, Everton, Bolton. They had a decent striker once, didn't they? Wasn't it Mc Niven? He's playing for a Scottish team now.

I feel sorry for Leigh too. When we played them, they made us very welcome and we had a lovely meal there too.
I always admire the supporters of the small clubs up there along the M6/M62. There are so many bigger clubs that people support - the diehards who stick with their League 2, Conference and lower clubs must always be admired and supported - except when they are playing the Shrews.

Carlisle and Hereford are guaranteed to finish 2nd and 3rd with only the order to be decided. A final between those two looks quite likely.

Respect to Northwich Vics though in light of their handicap. How close were York though to doing a double drop

I still get the stat mail for the conference but deleted it earlier think their crowd was 247 tonight.

Leigh were only reprived from relegation last season once they'd released their squad. So it's little wonder given the lack of resources and lack of time to assemble an entire squad that they have gone down. Think Forrest Green suffered from having to pul their budget in even more which is why their manager walked out. And Farnbrough were being "managed" by the chairman, except i dont think he was the chairman as they'd been bough by someone else and are another team who have again been marred by financial problems. Top respect to Northwich

5 teams in with a shout of the last 2 playoff spots with one game to go: Aldershot Morecombe Stevanage Woking and Exeter I'd like to see the Shots and Exeter: with a Carlisle v Exeter and a Hereford v Shots semi. Exeter vs Hereford final, with Turner returning to the League Dreams eh

Didn't Fitzpatrick end up at Leigh? Another great Quinn signing.
