There was backlash online as the National League announce their final day TV selection with nail biting games left to play out.
The playoffs are all that need to be sorted, with plenty of teams in the mix after Sutton United confirmed promotion at the weekend.
May has been another epic month in the fifth tier of English football, and now, Wrexham, Chesterfield, Bromley, Eastleigh and Halifax will be fighting to secure a playoff place.
The National League have said: “BT Sport have confirmed their final day live pick as this trilling season finally reaches its climax.
“After the Vanarama National League title was secured on Sunday at Sutton United, the focus now switches to the race for the play-offs.
“The broadcaster’s cameras will be at Dagenham & Redbridge to see if Wrexham will secure a top seven spot, kick-off 12.30pm.
“Things are on a knife-edge – and a sensational last day of twists and turns is pretty much promised.
“Goals from key matches in the play-off race will be shown throughout the broadcast by Matt Smith and co. in Essex.
“The three teams currently sitting outside the promotion places are all very much in contention on the final day.
“Wrexham currently hold one of the precious positions, but they know only a win at Dagenham will guarantee them a place, and extend their season in June.
“But Dean Keates’ team couldn’t have asked for a harder final day fixture.
Defeat at Chesterfield on Saturday was their first loss in nine, and the Daggers won seven of those matches.
“Not only will the chasers discover if they have done enough to earn a top seven place on Saturday.
“We will also find out the play-off running order, with the Eliminators starting next weekend.
“Click here for all the information about the all-important promotion matches.”
