If that were the case then a few convincing words to your driver to make a stop at the next boozer would be in order!

We scored enough to win all three previous games but conceded sloppily.
So Cook bolstered the defence, bringing back Jones and playing Banks deeper, meaning Barnet were reduced to one looping header off the bar and a handful of half chances.
Their injury situation is irrelevant, though let's remember they were still second.
In the end we had enough quality to secure a relatively comfortable three points - and all but confirm a very early promotion!

The team might even have a reception committee waiting down Whit Moor but a few of the players who live that side of the Pennines could have gone home direct from Boundary Park.

That’s only going to happen if people haven’t got work next day in the back of their minds. I think I’d rather win at Oldham (than Oxford at home)with hopefully more tickets being made available and those that can’t make it watching it in Chesterfield pubs and clubs who have advertised their screening of it as a (potential) / promotion party, later to be joined by those travelling Spireites returning victorious from Oldham for one mass pi** up to wave bye bye to this dog shi* league.
So of the 3 likely games we reach the promised land my preferences are:
1 Fylde (home)
2 Oldham (away)
3 Oxford (home)
Winning the league on a Tuesday night would be a bit of an anti-climax, even though I’d have snapped your hand off if you’d offered me that pre-season of course.

I just hope we do it on the field rather than on the settee (or in the pub) when one of the others drop points.

Be nice to win it at Oldham, scoring a bucket load and their strike force unable to muster a single goal 😆.

Would love it confirmed at Oldham to rub their nose in it........Any chance we could get the PA system to play 'We Are The Champions" as well ?
If you want to rub their nose in it wouldn’t it be better to win before the Oldham game and have their player’s form a Guard of Honour

We need 11 points as it stands at the moment to confirm promotion. If we win every match including Oldham, that would be 12 points so there would be no waiting for other games to play.

So we need Bromley and barnet to both lose at least 1 of the next 3 because I start work at half 2 on the day of the oldham game and I'm selfish 😝

The two 'B's' won't.
It'll be Oxford...
