Hartlepool will be returning to the National League next season.

They're putting up a decent fight against their promotion-chasing hosts today.

Ben Killip in the Pools goal makes another save to deny Jack Stretton the opener.

Those who want to see the integrity of the competition being observed will be delighted to see the intensity being shown by both Bradford and Leyton Orient.

The home side will be in the play-offs with their point if this were to be the finishing result, while Orient are already champions.

That said, both teams are having a good go. Bradford's crowd looks fantastic, can't be far off 25,000.

Lew Mills: Worst memory was York being relegated at Maine Road in 1999 in front of 32,000. Losing 4-0 and hoping on other results, Wycombe scored late on to send us into the drop zone for only time that season.

Brutal! Also a reminder to younger readers that Manchester City were in the third tier not too many years ago...

Kristian Dennis rattles the woodwork for Carlisle with a shot from a short-taken free-kick. Fierce effort from the edge of the box.

Alfie McAlmont is unable to turn home the rebound.

The Cumbrians have had to come to life after that set-back. They do have a favourable goal difference which is to their advantage in the play-off race.

I said Tranmere were getting about things well and Northampton goalkeeper Lee Burge has to be quick to get down and cut out a low cross that is flashing across the face of goal.

Northampton are going to have to do it the hard way today.

Nigel Clough's Stags have to win and they have just had their first shot on target as Davis Keillor-Dunn brings a save out of Colchester's Tom Smith.

Carlisle are losing so there is a modicum of hope, although as things stand, Mansfield would need a SEVEN goal victory.

Jamie Walker gets into the Orient box, but the angle is tight and his ferocious shot can only ripple the side-netting.

Bradford are very much up for this.

Laurence Vigouroux in the Orient goal has to react smartly to deny goal machine Andy Cook too, as the Bantams pour on some pressure.

You talk about throwing a spanner in the works. Mansfield have a chance now with Carlisle being a goal behind.

The only problem for the Stags is that Carlisle's goal difference is still currently seven better.

This is Ian Dawes' first game in charge of Tranmere on a permanent basis.

They're unbeaten in their past three games and it might just be pride they're playing for in terms of the table but the new gaffer will want to see out this season with a four-game unbeaten run.

His side are enjoying a spell of pressure just now and the Cobblers are having to stand strong to protect their lead.

Again, as it stands, Northampton are going uup automatically.

Goal?! No!

Fraser Horsfall thinks he has given the home side the lead but the referee has a chat with his assistant and it is chalked off.

It's all the drama, I just love it.

Few tackles flying in between these two teams, as play-off chasing Bradford face the league champions Orient.

Idris El-Mizouni was booked for chopping down Bradford's Jamie Walker.

Then, Ritchie Smallwood followed suit for the Bantams, having taken out Tom James.

Yellows apiece.

It should be 1-0... to Gillingham.

A glorious chance for visiting striker Tom Nicholls as a deep cross arrives at the back stick but Nicholls just doesn't get clean enough contact on his shot and goalkeeper Alex Cairns is able to dive on the ball.

So, right now, if the whistle blew as we are:

Northampton are into League One, clinching the last automatic place.

Stockport, Salford, Carlisle and Bradford are the four teams occupying the play-off spots.

Mansfield would miss out.

Matt: As a neutral, Brentford v Doncaster in 2013 always stands out.

Rich Paterson: I was at Cambridge v Forest Green yesterday and I’ve never felt so tense! My boy Dexter certainly went through it! I feel for all those involved and we were the victors! I don’t think I could deal with the other side of this!

Colin Frontczak: Huddersfield getting relegated on last day in 2000-01. We were tepid in a 2-1 home defeat to Birmingham. Pompey won & Palace bagged an 87th min winner at Stockport to send us down. Club spiralled & we were League Two bound & in administration 18 months later.

What a finish to that Brentford v Doncaster game. A missed penalty at one end, immediately followed by a promotion-clinching goal at the other. Wow!

Mansfield must win and hope if they are to make the top six.

But they have survived an early scare as Colchester's Alex Newby has whistled a shot just wide.

That shock home defeat to Harrogate last week has really left them needing snookers.

Stockport know they have to win to have any chance of going up automatically.

Fraser Horsfall looks to put them into the lead from a corner but the away side, who have already been relegated, scramble it off the line.

Half a chance for big Matt Smith for the home team, but he can't get enough power on his diving header.

Salford only need a point, but a goal would calm any nerves.
