I would want about 100/1 on Town winning the league. It's a massive outside shot and there is nothing to suggest we can be consistent enough to get the points required. I'm just relieved we seem to be edging towards confirming our playoff spot nice and early.

That said I am really relived we have already played Halifax away. That pitch is a shocker and can see their games getting postponed again before the season's out. Annoyingly, it's probably so bad that they will be forced to use another ground (like Droyleden) which will mean a nice enough pitch and the loss of any real home advantage for Halifax.

We have some tricky games left too and to be realistic of winning the title we would need to win them all, a big ask but it can be done, one game at a time.. starting at Woking Saturday.


Grimsby and proud!

I know that they beat us at BP recently, but I can't say I remember being overly impressed with Macclesfield. They looked OK and were a good deal better than us in midfield on the day, but I think it was as much our poor performance as their good play which led to their victory. Not to mention the clear foul in the run up to their winner.

I think I'd probably rather face them in the play-offs than Bristol Rovers or Barnet.

All to play for IMO. Saturday looks our most difficult challenge but the words of Garry Hill ought to be ringing in the team's ears.

Was just thinking the same thing-although Barnet's run-in isn't very testing...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Apart from Woking away (who seem to have found their form again lately) I think we will be bookies favourites in all of our remaining games. Obviously that doesn't imply they'll be easy but I wouldn't swap our remaining fixtures with any of the others.

Macc's odds are pretty generous:


16/1 to win the League
4/1 for promotion
1/10 on for a top 5 finish

The key word here is pressure and how those at the top cope with it.Historically under PH we haven't fared to well when it`s really mattered in a pressure game so best we go top on the last day and win the League then

If we don't go up then perhaps the Macc manager might be the right man for the job, as he appears to be doing a great job on a pittance of a budget.

I thought they had a wealthy backer, but must have been confusing them with someone else as a quick search indicates their Chairman remains the same. Not entirely sure what the status is, however, as there are news stories from a year or two back claiming they were going to become a Community club and the link to the Community web site isn't working.

If they haven't got a decent budget, they are doing well. No players near the top of the scoring charts so it is obviously a team effort working for them.

As always, I do wonder if their manager would be able to make good signings were he to come here in the future. Macclesfield is an easy commute from both Manchester and the Potteries and isn't far from Merseyside and the Lancashire clubs either so it ought to be relatively simple for them to pick up rejects from the many League clubs in the area.

It's a great point. The North West sustains an incredible amount of teams really and inevitably there are loads of players not quite good enough for the top divisions.

We've got a chance of winning the league, but it's only a chance. There are three other teams at this moment in time who have a better chance and we need to be mindful of that.

All the Town players can do is go out and win their next game. Then we see where that leaves us.

My honest opinion is that we won't win on Saturday. We might not lose either, but we have a habit of getting everyone's hopes up (like at Christmas) and then dropping points (v Lincoln and Macclesfield).

We've just reignited the thought of automatic promotion... let's keep this promotion train on its tracks!

I'm still looking over our shoulders really. I don't think the play offs are any way near certain and theres more chance of us getting caught than catching others. Think the best now is PH guides us into the playoffs because I'll tell you what if Bristol Rovers go up as champions we might just nick it at wembley.

Cant see us winning the league this season but Iam a lot more hopeful now if we do reach the playoffs especially since we done the double over Barnet.Proves if our players are up for it we can outplay most teams

The annual "will we, won't we" thread again. We have had it for three seasons now. You can study fixtures all you like but what will be will be. The facts are that we average about 1.8 points per game consistently over the last three seasons and have pretty much hung around 3rd and 4th spot in that time. Nothing looks like changing to me. We'll probably make the play offs, then it's a bit of a lottery. Who has the luck on the day, who puts their chances away, who gets the benefit of the dodgy refereeing decision?

Of course, the teams above could have a slip and we move a bit closer. Similarly we could have a slip and start anxiously looking behind us. The only predictable thing is that it's not predictable.

Or we could be the new Lincoln. I think it was them under Big Keef who kept getting to the play-offs and failing wasn't it?

It could be 3rd time lucky if we make the play offs.

If we can go unbeaten until the end of the season,

We might just nick the championship on the last day of the season,

Remember in the last minute of Slades  season we were up,

We let a goal in in the other game they scored,

The rest is history,

This season we might score in the last minute,

Bristol Rovers let one in,

We are champions , the only time we are top of the league,

In the last minute of the last game,

Well we can dream can't we ?
