Merstham and Tonbridge both recorded 2-1 away wins in the Isthmian League Play Off Semi Finals, so I think that means that if we beat Met Police, then we are at home for the Super Play Off Final.
Both Tonbridge and Merstham finished their league on 70 points (the same as us), but whereas their goal differences were plus thirteen and plus ten respectively, ours was plus 25.
Due to the travelling distances, it could be a big advantage to be at home, so fingers crossed we beat Met Police on Monday.

An addition to my original post - Merstham are a bit like Kings Langley - a village club already punching above their weight just to be in the Isthmian Prem, let alone going for promotion - it is a small place a few streets and a village hall but close to the town of Redhill in Surrey, just off the M25, so it is a big surprise to find them in the Play Off Final, albeit away again.
Tonbridge are from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, so a big travel for their fans if we can make it through.
Anyhow home tie - great news for us: if it is Merstham, we would be red hot favourites, but I know we still have a really tough tie to Met Police to overcome.

Does Merstham have the correct facilities to go up into the next league? It is stated to have only 174 seats in the ground.

I believe Andy was incorrect in as much that Tonbridge are not from Tunbridge Wells, but are from Tonbridge also in Kent. They are now known as Tonbridge Angels FC.

And 174 seats is not actully enough for THIS league. You need 250. Ground grading has been "relaxed" this year but I doubt the NL will accept them if 174 is true.

Im sure if thats the case they would not be allowed to compete in the play offs unless the NL have also relaxed there rules? .

There wouldn’t (shouldn’t) be a so- called ‘Super Play Off Final’ but for the deranged way in which league re-organisation has been conducted! 16 clubs competing for two promotion places occurring for one season only while we await the next daft re-organisation is beyond belief. We must forget about the ‘Super’ play off until 5 o’clock on Monday 6th May. COME ON YOU DOLPHINS!
