00:00The Premier League is not the only division that is developing a historic title race.
00:04The National League, home to arguably the best title rivalry of the last five years in this
00:08country in Notts County versus Wrexham in 2023, is running it back this year with Rochdale and
00:13York City, who play each other on Saturday on the final day of the season. You couldn't write it.
00:19Some context, Rochdale are on 105 points, 105 points, and they're second. York City are on
00:26107 points and crucially have a far better goal difference. Now, you might be thinking,
00:31so what? They're the top two by a distance. They will both go up regardless. Does the league
00:35even really matter? Yes, it does. The National League, bizarrely and perhaps even unfairly at
00:41this point, only has one automatic promotion spot. When Wrexham and Notts County both got promoted in
00:462023, the latter had to achieve it via the playoffs. Granted, it's a very fun way to get promoted,
00:52but it's a lottery. One of York and Rochdale, despite having generational seasons, will have
00:57to do it the hard way. It couldn't be poised any better. York City just need to avoid defeat to
01:01win
01:01the league, but are playing at Rochdale in front of a sold-out home crowd. The place will be rocking.
01:07A place in the Football League is on the line. Tune in.
