The National League Promotion Paradox - National League Review

14 Sep 2026 · 1 h 19 min

Craig and Dan meet to discuss a dramatically entertaining weekend of National League action. With significant drama and action across the division they recap all twelve games in the National League. They recap the battle of the heavyweights as Carlisle United and Southend United played out an entertaining draw. The duo discuss whether AFC Fylde can be this season’s Boreham Wood after a statement win at Yeovil Town and whether Lee Clark’s job is under threat at Hartlepool United after their lacklustre performance at Kidderminster Harriers.
