22 point lead is extraordinary.

What Cookie and the guys have built is unreal and to keeps the momentum built with absolutely no-one close for the last 3 months is a credit to the backroom staff.
What Wrexham and County did last year was incredible however they were neck and neck all season, we have had no-one close so what we can deliver this season will (in my opinion) be the best Non League side too ever grace the Conference. And no-one will come close for years

Altrincham can can just add to our position of strength by winning tonight and adding pressure to Bromley and Barnet.

Can't get relegated in February, this is what dreams are made of. 😂
It's amazing that it's took 80pts to achieve it though.

We’re 49 points clear of our opponents on Saturday. Forgetting points deductions, has there ever been a gap that big at this stage of a season between two teams facing each other? 53 if it was Oxford!

The season that Hyde couldn't buy a win might have been bigger gaps.

To be fair to Hyde they actually turned up to games, Dover took their ball home and hid behind their mum's skirt and refused to come out to play!

"No one close for the last 3 months"? Just 5 weeks ago, we were 2-0 down at home to Solihull. Just 4 points ahead of Bromley, having only 3 games in hand, 2 of them being Bromley and Barnet away. That turnaround was massive, at the time, and even more so now. Have you really forgot how vulnerable you felt we were when their 2nd went in? I haven't. I felt sick with fear of a repeat of last season. I.e 3 points from 9 games.

Even at the time, this would've been a massive overreaction. Anybody watching that match could see that we were absolutely battering them, creating chances and where I sit everybody was of the same opinion, "if we get one, we'll win this".

The only time I’ve felt vulnerable this season was against Southend away, pressure was on and we crumbled from that game forwards I have not once felt uneasy. That could have been the flood gate opener
Yes we have a wobble, yes we have poor games but we’ve come through them all.
No-one this season has put any form of fear in my mind as Cookie has built a very strong squad.
Early December teams were only ‘closer’ due to us being in the FA cup and having games in hand, usually a cup run spells disaster for fitness but this again has showed the strength in depth we have.
Fresh legs, fresh minds, fresh ideas = same quality
