If Bromley fail to collect at least a point from this evening's visit to Oxford City, there is still a chance that Gateshead could finish third on goal difference.

Gateshead host Bromley on Saturday.

Silly question...Does this include Wembley??

PLAY-OFF AWAY TRAVEL - EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST

We may have to organise substantial away travel on short notice.

To help us be as prepared as possible for this event, we would like to assess interest in away travel for the play-offs.

If you would be interested in travelling by coach for an away play-off tie:

1. Please FILL IN THE FORM  - www.uniongolfroad.com/away-travel

2. Please share the form with others.

This is vital in helping us to act quickly in the event of an away trip being confirmed.

Expressing an interest does not obligate you to book a seat and we will only ever use your email to contact you about this.

Away travel is warmly open to everyone, no matter how often you follow Altrincham home or away. If you're interested, simply fill in the form above.

Unless Bromley win in midweek, they'll probably be putting out a very weak team at the weekend as they'll be confirmed as finishing third and will be keeping their powder dry for the play off semi.

I was actually thinking about that myself - given they'd have 8 days to recover, surely the best policy for them would be to stick with their best XI?

Something we thankfully won't have to worry about - we have the perfect opportunity to take huge momentum into the playoffs on Saturday and I'm sure the lads will take it.

If Halifax pick up 3 points tonight then that is the play off places confirmed, just the final order to be resolved. To keep momentum we need to win on Saturday and then see where that places us. Home tie next Tuesday/Wednesday would be awesome. If we make the semi's then either of Barnet/Bromley will be tough, but we know that. Seems we have had better results at Barnet in the past, so maybe that's the route and on grass. Either way lets get past Saturday first and see whom we have at home. One game at a time now. COYR

My hunch tells me that Barnet is more of a classic York (A) from last time - they'll have the pressure of being playoff favourites, but our lads will know they can turn them over on the day as they've done it before.

For that reason it's not the end of the world for Gateshead to scrape wins in their games this week - but I reckon they'll drop points somewhere, if not versus Shots then certainly very likely versus Bromley.

Spot on sir, well said.

Wednesday Gateshead v Aldershot.
If we beat Oxford and Gateshead don't beat Aldershot we are 4th.

I was hoping that Chesterfield would find their mojo back tonight as Barnet away is definitely harder than Bromley (should we make it to the semis). Never mind, maybe desperate Aldershot will take a point from the Heed.
