I'm feeling rather relaxed about it myself, which is a bit of a surprise as I expected to be a bit nervy.

I'll probably be bricking it by the time kick-off comes about on Sunday afternoon!

Definitely the biggest game in our history in my eyes. It's such a difficult league to get out of and when you attach the stigma of non-league plus the loss of FL funding it's so hugely important that the club gets out sooner rather than later. There have been other big games in the past but I don't think any of them affected the future of the club the way this one will.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

Agree, biggest game in our history. Being in the football league means so much, financial benefits are obvious but just recognition of highlights being shown on TV, better coverage, more fans through the home and away turnstiles. Being part of the 92 shouldn't be taken lightly as we discovered and went through the trap door. Hopefully it's our time Sunday and stay there for another 100 years, even if we finish 22nd next season it'll be worth it.

Quoted from LH
It is certainly the most important game in our history. When you put a Conference play off final against two FA Cup semi finals I don't think you can even compare them for size though - without wanting to belittle the magnitude of Sunday's match in the slightest.


kind of agree with where LH is coming from on this one. but I am going to side with the majority. This game is huge, if only in the context that it will probably guarantee the running of the club on the same level for the foreseeable future and our long term structure and finances would be in a far healthier position if we were to regain our league status. but going back to the days of those semi finals. they were also massive as the chance to be in the show-case final of the best domestic cup competition anywhere in the world, and a chance to win it would never have been taken away from us in the history books.
Have not been getting carried away with the nerves and emotion of sundays  final YET, but I must admit we have a decent chance and my work colleagues are fed up of me going on about it lol.

I'm not that bothered really......the fact that I woke up in the night believing there was some kind of menacing form stood in the corner of the room, representing my anxiety about the game, is completely normal

It's certainly the biggest game in living memory. We were one of the country's top sides in the 1930s. There must have been big games back then to stay in the top flight etc but it's hard to construct a case for them because most of the games have long been forgotten.

I know that this is the single most important game in our history. In terms of stature though it is nowhere near as big as an FA Cup semi final. I suppose what I'm getting at that in 80 years time hopefully this whole non-league debacle is forgotten about.
