PS. I believe we need to finish 4th to have a shot at Bromley in the semi.
(unless Barnet collapse)

Cross that bridge when (if) we get there ! athough if pushed i would slightly favour Bromley . Both very tough asks though.

Indeed, far too giddy, unless I've misunderstood things we haven't got a home eliminator confirmed yet, let alone won it!

[MarpleAlty]

Since our return to this level, whilst our last outing at Bromley might have felt like a victory at the end, our record against them is pretty grim!

We haven't beaten them in eight attempts, and it's probably for the best we won't play them at our place - where we've been defeated on every occasion.

Compare that to Barnet, where our record is reasonable - and includes probably the best victory of the lot (last season's 4-2) and the worst (this season's 0-3):

Barnet (Away): W2 D1 L1 F7 A7 Pts7/12
Barnet (Total): W3 D2 L3 F13 A15 Pts11/24

Bromley (Away): W0 D3 L1 F4 A6 Pts3/12
Bromley (Total): W0 D3 L5 F6 A12 Pts6/24

As mentioned previously though, all bets are off once we get to this stage - the stage almost seems set for us to finally get one over on Bromley.

We won 3-1 at Bromley in a televised match in 2015 - though that was on grass.

You shouldn't have been on grass you naughty old man! 😊😊

Chances are will need to beat both Bromley and Barnet, one at their place and one at Wembley. Home advantage possibly bigger for Bromley so go to Barnet and take Bromley in the final?

Anyone got the dates?

eat me?

[Saughall Robin]

I see Chesterfield are, as we suspected, already on the beach 🏖
Gateshead 2 up with half an hour gone.

[distancetraveller]

Chesterfield haven’t given a toss since the league was won. Pity really

Barnet's home record is stronger than Bromley's, so I suspect it wouldn't make much difference either way.

I can't decide which one I'd prefer myself.

Chesterfield have pulled one back though.

[Alty Bri]

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.

[rorysgrandad]

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

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
