At the end of the day it's a very similar assignment to Kidderminster.

We ended up coming through that one comfortably in the end, so we should hold no fears if we go about our normal game.

I've commented on this on the FB page but you if you share with an RL club, a sport which can be played on a surface which would be classified as waterlogged for footballing purposes, you're asking for trouble. It's not a matter who your landlord is, if you want to be taken seriously as a professionally run football club you make provision. There's no way the NL will or should allow special dispensation. If you can't stage the fixture you forfeit the points, a basic rule from Sunday League to Premier League.

In their defence it's absolutely not their decision to make, as they don't own the ground - it's the council's, who don't give a crap about them.

I expect they'll extend the season for everyone at Step 2 and below now, given the logistics - but how are they going to do that at Step 1 given the final is at Wembley?

Can't imagine you can just call up and amend your booking like you can for a hotel room!

I'm going to stay positive about 5th for now!

The game on Saturday is very winnable given our additional rest, and Solihull have every chance of dropping points at Bromley.

If we win both remaining games, Halifax are unlikely to catch us either.

Solihull 2-0 Ebbsfleet now. Fairly weak deflected shot. Can't see Fleet coming back now - looks like all three points going to Solihull. Alty down to 5th.

It's now crystal clear that we need to win both of our remaining games to stand a chance of 5th - I did fancy Ebbsfleet to give Solihull more of a game.

Back into our hands if Bromley hold them on Saturday and hopefully Ebbsfleet are done in from tonight.

Gateshead v Aldershot - OFF

Wow!

The only option they have is doing Tuesday Thursday Saturday next week instead - with absolutely zero wiggle room for any further postponements.

Not the most ideal playoff preparation!

Halifax v Oldham off tomorrow night - currently exploring alternative options, which at this stage has to involve an alternative location for them.

Gatehead game looking very doubtful - the only remaining option they have is next Thursday night, just before the regular season ends...

The picture will become a bit clearer after tonight's Solihull game - if they drop points we just need to match their final two results, and they're going to Bromley on Saturday.

The bookies seem fairly certain of our Top 7 status - currently 1/50.

Goal has got to be Top 5 now!

This was an incredibly dumb move, and I don't want to let my distaste for the guy who runs BoA affect how I feel about this. It was terrible, no question the lad should at the very least miss this chance to see Alty promoted.

I just don't get how this had to be public? Have a word with the club, know they will be able to deal with it in house and be done with it or at least keep it somewhat private. Instead an Alty fan who goes home and away is publicly shamed.

It makes me delighted that he will be back filming NLS games at sports centres again rather than getting to feel big time on the coat tails of a loudmouth with a few bob to waste.

He absolutely deserves to be publicly shamed - it was a disgraceful thing to do - the fact that he didn't think he was being filmed doesn't matter one iota.

We're just looking at Solihull and Halifax now really in my opinion.

Interestingly, Solihull and Halifax are both stronger away than they are at home - so perhaps not all is lost by slipping back to 6th - but 5th has got to be the goal.

Slipping back to 7th and heading up to Gateshead would be a disaster.

I see Gateshead beating Aldershot as critical to us simply because it rubber stamps our participation in the play offs. Our last two matches determine our position in the play off pecking order.

Surely we've got to want to push for a home game? - whether we like it or not, other results elsewhere will play a part in that - starting tomorrow at Solihull.

I actually don't think the Gateshead v Aldershot game will have much bearing on us - Gateshead will finish above us, Aldershot below us.

Solihull is the big danger at the moment - two winnable home games left, which would push them to 76 - and thus meaning another slip up from us is costly.

Ebbsfleet getting something at their place tomorrow night will be of huge assistance, in two ways - hurting Solihull, and getting themselves safe before Saturday.

100% agreed - this is the sort of thing that gives the lot of us a poor reputation whether we like it or not.

Regardless of what each of us thinks about Dorking and their socials (I think they're completely harmless and obviously a good watch for the majority), this isn't the first incident given they seemed to get a fair bit at our place too.

I hope the club does what is right and hands out quite a lengthy ban - or a permanent one as far as I care.

The vast majority of us would never dream of doing something like that - get rid.

Really stupid of George Wilson to take the bait at that stage of the game, and right in front of the referee too. Hopefully this is the last we see of Dorking.

We're absolutely threadbare in midfield again. Can we even get a loan in at this stage?

After the Shots result the Battle for Top 7 is pretty much won - but the battle for Top 5 is totally up in the air.
