One thing I've noticed this season was the battle beaten Bath City and Team Bath at the top of the Southern Premier League. Bath City have ultimately won the tussle as they have finished 13 points clear of Team Bath to consign their rivals to the playoffs.
This actually brought back memories of my team Port Vale's promotion rivalry with Stoke City in the 1992/1993 season when Vale missed out after a late run from Bolton took them into second place and Vale ended up losing in the playoffs to WBA, often the sad fate of the team who finishes in the top playoff spot!
Hopefully Team Bath won't suffer the same fate in their playoff games when they take on Hemel Hempstead this week!
It would be interesting to here the thoughts of others on Promotion battles between local rivals if there are any?
This clip from youtube brings a tear to the eye for me personnal when we were denied promotion in the 1993 Division 2 playoff final!
