Southport & Tamworth join the Saints

[Duke of York]

Halifax Town and Grays Athletic relegated Southport and Tamworth tonight but neither Halifax or Grays are quite safe yet. It's any one of six who will also drop on Saturday.

[Sensible]

Liked Halifax and the people were really friendly so I'd really like them to stay up. The only problem with Grays going down is that we would have to play them again next year, a prospect that I would relish about as much as our trip to Yeading.

[JKiF]

quite liked southport/tanworth

 

as for grrrays..

 

notice that Crawley might go down, having been totally away from the drop zone for ages that would be a 'shame'

 

prefer camb utd out of those at the bottom.

 

 

[Laz]

If we want to challenge next season then we need to avoid Cambridge U, Grays and Crawley.

 

Halifax for the drop!

[Duke of York]

I would like Cambridge United to drop out as it would be great to see a Cambridge derby.

 

I agree it would be a great shame if Crawley Town were to get relegated after their heroic fight against the ten point deduction.

[Laz]

Heroic? They've overspent and are now paying the price!

 

I'm sure the taxman and all their creditors don't think it's heroic!

[YELLOW]

Agree with Laz. Some of the players they've still got there must be on a fair whack and could easily get into most other Conference sides' first team. Reckon they could encounter a few problems next year.

[Rob_the_Saint]

What happens if only us drop into the BSS? Do they move someone across from the BSN (Ed: good job there's not a BSE!) like Worcester?

[JKiF]

purely from a fans point of view Laz

appreciate what with their 600k they would walk our league.

 

as for crawley still dont understand how they were allowed to participate

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

My mate Gordon is convinced that, despite not being the in relegation zone once all season, they (Stafford) will go down!

The Table

16 - Grays 52pts +2 G/D

17 - Crawley 52pts 0 G/D

18 - Halifax 52 pts -8 G/D

19 - Cambridge 52 pts -10 G/D

20 - Stafford 52 pts -21 G/D

---------------------------------

21 - Altringham 50 pts -14 G/D

 

The Games:

Altrincham v Aldershot Town

Cambridge United v Tamworth

Crawley Town v Kidderminster Harriers

Halifax Town v Stevenage Borough

Morecambe v Grays Athletic

Stafford Rangers v Forest Green Rovers

 

With the goal difference you'd say that Grays, Crawley, Halifax and Cambridge should be safe with a point but there is only a difference of 4 between Alty and Cambridge so a 3-0 win and a 2-0 defeat could see that swallowed up!

 

All the home games are winnable, Grays have the hardest game, I'd say it was more than likely Alty

 

[MiddxSaint]

Stevenage Borough can no longer reach the play-offs following a 0-0 draw at Northwich Victoria (attendance 515).

 

 

[Hatboy]

They were never going to make it even if they won tonight, they wouldn't of made up the goal difference on Exeter !

[Rob_the_Saint]

Alty or Grays, though Grays only need a draw. Stafford can't rely on a draw either.

 

I think the pressure will be too much for Alty, shame as they are a good team.

[JKiF]

not at theirs they weren't!

 

penalties, eh
