I'll miss Dorking. 🤔

[MarpleAlty]

Such a big day on Saturday.

Halifax v Barnet and Bromley v Solihull.

[Red Balloon]

We will miss Dorking too.

They had a decent Waitrose on our recent visit the other day. A bit of panache!

Oh well we still have Booths in Hale Barnes....

[Wilmslow Alty]

Such a big day on Saturday.

Halifax v Barnet and Bromley v Solihull.

A Barnet win would be tremendous. The Bromley v Solihull game depends on how ambitious we're being. A Bromley win would block a top three finish but improve our chances of top five. Tough one to call - maybe a draw would be best.

3rd is out; we definitely want Bromley to beat Solihull. A win at Ebbs could make the last round of matches fun, as it could come down to goal difference between us and Gateshead for 4th! Not inconceivable.

Nope… can be caught by Kiddy and BW as well as others below them.

[MarpleAlty]

I think Ebbsfleet are probably realistically safe, but stranger things have certainly happened.

Probably good for us that their form has turned slightly - by all accounts they were poor at Solihull - and maybe the stark realisation they're in trouble might only hit with two games to go.

With regard to Halifax v Barnet and Bromley v Solihull, draws in both fixtures would put things back into our hands (provided we win ours).

Gateshead v Chesterfield moved at this very late hour from Tuesday to Monday by the league. League statement says it's to protect the integrity of the competition. Chesterfield fans rightly irate as they've made travel plans. What the hell is all this about?

The only thing I can think of is the league wanted a back-up plan in case any of Gateshead's fixtures is posponed. If their Saturday or Monday games gets postponed, they can tell them to play their remaining fixtures Tuesday and Thursday. If the Wednesday one gets postponed, they can try again the following day.

Although if that is the case, you'd think they'd do the same with Halifax.

Hopefully the irate Chesterfield fans can fire up their team.

UPDATED AFTER TODAY'S RESULTS: WE ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!

Today's win means we are in the playoffs regardless of what happens in the late kick off at Aldershot (who are currently 0-2 down!) Bromley's win against Solihull means we can finish no higher than 4th but our path to the top 5 is now looking better.

Put simply, if we win next Saturday we are top 5. If we win and Gateshead drop any points between now and Saturday then we will finish 4th.

If we draw on Saturday then we will still finish top 5 if either of these happen. (If both happen we'll be 4th).

• Solihull fail to win
• Gateshead drop three points (assuming our goal difference stays higher)

If we lose on Saturday then a top five finish would require any TWO of the following (top four if all three happen):

• Halifax fail win any of their remaining games
• Gateshead drop at least four points (if our goal difference remains higher).
• Solihull fail to win.
