Need to win on Saturday and hope Maidenhead lose and York lose to Aldershot. Both York and Maidenhead have tough final games away so if we’re level at 5pm on Saturday we’ll have a chance, but if both york and Maidenhead win we’ll need to beat Wrexham and hope Aldershot lose their final game.

This. Anything else and it's game over and the interweb will go into overdrive in Somerset.

Sorry, we are down. Even if we win on Saturday we will not get anything from the champions elect who will enjoy a chance to play with freedom and make us look what we are and have been for much of the season - a shambles.

Strange comment for a Fans web page, Modgull.

Let’s see what Saturday brings. Personally I can’t see us staying up, but if we win Saturday at least we’ve got a chance going into the last game, something none of us imagined 3 weeks ago.

Anything is possible but we must get something out of the Alty game.

It's still not over, I do think we need to beat Altrincham, and then let's see whereabouts we are at come 5pm Saturday evening, I think York may win on Saturday, it's not over yet, there's so many fine margins, but ultimately it's what we've done over the course of the season, there's still a glimmer of hope, we also need Wrexham to beat BorehamWood, and hope that last game they're well and truly on their sun loungers, thinking about magaluf....But let's focus on Saturday and Altrincham.

Actually it's Las Vegas. Ryan Reynolds has promised them a massive piss up in Nevada if they win promotion so hopefully their minds will be on that come 29th April.

Vegas it is then!, Let's hope their focus is on that and not the game!.

It'll be halls job to hand out hospital food menus in the tunnel pre game. They wouldn't want to miss a trip like that.

Anyone know where they’re staying? I’ll get the fireworks.

All well and good but I am more concerned about our players distraction now that Uncle Clarke has offered our lot a day out at Trago Mills Leisure Park if we stay up.

How about this...................

If we were to win on Saturday and somehow Maidenhead or York were to lose both games 4 points would be enough. Add to this if Wrexham were to lose on Saturday and Notts County draw, Wrexham would need a point from our game.

We could play out a nice draw to give them promotion and see us survive (now to stop dreaming).

And if they go down a whole weekend at Trago Mills Leisure Park.

So the new situation is (excluding very unlikely changes in goal difference):

If we lose at Altringham we will be relegated on Saturday.

If we draw at Altringham we will be relegated on Saturday unless York lose to Aldershot or Maidenhead lose to Barnet.

If we draw at Altringham we can’t be relegated on Saturday.

If we get two points from Altringham & Wrexham we will be relegated.

If we get four points from Altringham & Wrexham we will be relegated unless York or Maidenhead lose both of their games.

If we beat both Altringham & Wrexham we will be relegated unless York or Maidenhead get only two points from their final two games or Aldershot lose both of their games.

Although four points gives us a chance we really have to win both games then hope -

Aldershot - I can’t see failing to beat Altringham on the last day so we want them to win at York.

York – May well beat Aldershot (whether they drew or lost wouldn’t actually make any difference to us if we get two wins) but if they don’t we have to hope they’ll don’t win at Notts County, who are obviously a much better team but will have nothing to play for.

Maidenhead – May well lose to Barnet who need points for a home play off game. Whether they drew or lost wouldn’t actually make any difference to us if we get two wins. Then we need them to fail to win at Gateshead who have been on good form but have nothing to play for.


If we, Maidenhead & York all win on Saturday we’d go into the last game needing to beat Wrexham & hope that Aldershot lose at home to Altringham. Not a good scenario. News of Altringham’s first goal would kill the day at Plainmoor.
