Also known as the Vanarama Big Day Out and usually an exciting climax to the National League season with a second club securing promotion to the EFL alongside the league champions.
I’ve been to Wembley for this game for the past three seasons and seen what promotion has meant to those involved, certainly with Grimsby in 2016 and Tranmere in 2018 as those sides have secured a return to the Football League and, it’s not an exaggeration to say, the very future of clubs that play an integral part in their local community.
Leyton Orient will be looking to do the same (they will hope by winning the league and not having to go through the play-offs) this season but the nature of the National League means that it is not just the more traditional clubs who are vying to go up. Forest Green were the victors in 2017 and the likes of Salford City and Harrogate are well-placed to continue their impressive progress of recent seasons by earning a spot amongst The 92.
This season's National League Promotion Final takes place on Saturday 11 May 2019 and early-bird tickets (for good seats in an neutral area of the stadium) are priced at £20 Adults, £10 Seniors and free for accompanied Under-16's until 28 February.
