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 this whole non-league debacle is forgotten about.


We hope!!!!

I agree. I think the difference is, the semi-finals were games about the position we deserved to be in football. This one is about getting out of somewhere that we shouldn't be in the first place. It is so incredibly 'all or nothing' If we lose, I think people will be gutted in a way they have yet to fully comprehend.

No wonder you're all bricking it thinking it's the most important game in our history. Hope the squad aren't thinking like this.

More important than the game that took us down here?

Despite the fact that losing the FA Cup semis held no real jeopardy for us, I'd still go with them being more important. The FA Cup is THE most important competition in football. Without it, it's doubtful if football as we know it would have existed. It was only then that clubs started using the same rules for all games. Having the opportunity to win the most important club competition beats the opportunity to get a promotion (as difficult as it is to get out of the Conference).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Given the amount of ex Football League teams in the Conference now they could expand the Football League and call it the 3rd Division. Back in the League without the worry


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

If you mean the Burton game, then at the end of the day it was totally unimportant. Even if we had won 10-0 on the day we would still have been relegated.

Well yes, we were still needing 'snookers' but it could have turned out OK. And if not that maybe the game before was the important one?

Splitting hairs really, but I'd leave the "most important game" spinning to the Conference and the naff PA announcements at Wembley.

The play off game in '98 at the time was massive, we were a reasonably well established 2nd tier club. We deserved to be back in Division 1. I don't think anyone would believe that 17 years later the same club would be heading back to Wembley to get back into the football league.

This game is a huge as they come for the club. Should we fail to go up it will open so many questions - have we got the budget to mount a serious challenge again next season?. What players would stick around etc?

We cannot afford to lose on Sunday!
