What's the chances of us winning the league there?
I've been asked to attend a film festival down in Kent and need to book transport sharp.

I don't think even Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking could answer that one.

Jesus we're going to look stupid if we don't win the league or at least go up. Some people are really getting ahead of themselves.

I live in Merseyside so am really hoping we are crowned at this game. I also believe there is a good chance it will be this game if B & B don't mess up big style beforehand.

Ridiculous isn't it? We're not even favourites yet some people are talking like it's a formality. Gateshead first, forget the rest until then.

Jack, there is a fat chance and a slim chance that we could win the title at Southport,
"Fat" and "slim" being opposites, sums up the range of possibilities here.

So you think we'll get 5 points more than Barnet and 4 more than Bristol in the next 3 games without them messing up big time in that time?! Seriously?! Like Rodders said, Gateshead first, then Alfreton. One game at a time! We're on a great run and in a good position, I personally believe we can do it. But it is not a formality, there are 450 minutes of football to be played and anything can happen. The way some people are going on it is going to seriously bite them on the bottom potentially.

If we win our next 4 games barnet would have to drop 5 points and Rovers would have to drop 4 points. So whilst it is certainly possible I would say it is unlikely. However if we are top going into that game there is always the possibility of clinching the title at Southport, if that's the case can you risk not going?

Chap here at work that I often chat with about our league is a Southport fan.. so really going to try and make the effort to get up to this one! They might be tough as they have something to fight for, and are unbeaten in quite a few games now! Hoping by the time we play them, they're safe and not playing for anything..

Mariner 91 - the reason for 'getting ahead of myself' is reasonably clearly stated up the top there..

Don't think that has to happen. If we win the next three games - which I believe we will then we're on 87 points. If Barnet and Rovers both get 6 points out of the next three (or maybe 5 as they both have done in their last three games) then we would be in a position where we could win it at Southport. Didn't say 'will' win it. Said good chance - that's all I said. Didn't say 'formality' or anything like that. Also didn't say we will win it by the time we get to Southport as you are suggesting I did. Nothing is going to bite me on the ar*e because if we don't win it then I believe we will win the play offs. If we don't win the play offs then I will return next year with hope in my heart that we will do it next time.

Their ground holds 6008 and their average attendance is just over 1000 total. I hope we are in a position to take enough fans to fill it for them, however, I hope we can fill BP first on Saturday. UTM

One set of games at a time.
If we draw Saturday, but Rovers & Barnet both loose then it's a good point, & not the disaster if they both win.
All to play for, as fans just take it one game at a time & not get ahead of ourselves.

I sincerely hope the players have their feet a lot firmer on the ground than some on here jeez.
ONE GAME AT A TIME, Gateshead first up not worth even considering Alfreton let alone Southend, we still have a hell of a lot to do first and even then hope the two teams either side of us slip up.

I'd tend to agree there. If anyone will be crowned champions before the last game it will be Barnet (one point lead and better GD).

There are evidently many people who dwell in the extremes of 'positivity' and 'negativity' (for want of better words) on this board aren't there.

And we are not unfamiliar with the odd lapse in concentration leadfin to a giant intercourse up on the results ledger - Rodders is right ONE GAME at a time! we all want the same thing but I reckon we need to not get ahead of ourselves! UTM

I always seem to be at the polar opposite to the general consensus. Earlier in the season when Hurst's tenure was being questioned by many on this board I had faith in him to turn it around and now that we have I have become all pessimistic. I'm just putting it down to nerves and I'm sure by Saturday I'll be back at the other end of the scale.

But what's the problem with getting ahead of ourselves. We're not the players. If the players were saying we're going to be champions then of course we should be be saying hang on a minute let's not get carried away.
It's ages since we had a team that we could truly believe in. We really do stand a chance of going up and a more than slim chance of being champions. If we don't then so be it. Many fantastic teams have suffered glorious failure and I would rather be full of unbridled optimism than be trying to put the brakes on. There is nothing to be gained by being falsely modest or cautious. If we do win every remaining game then I think it'll be because the team were brimming with confidence and we imposed ourselves on everyone else.

In fairness to Sutton mariner I don't think he was expecting a scientifically substantiated reply. Good fishy people, just because JF and PH haven't made any statements in the last day there is no need to over analyse to the point of death any harmless and wishful posts on here I can feel the tension on here, come on Town get us bloody well promoted ASAP!!!!!!!
