i think 4 points could do it, with a point away next week and am fairly confident we can get 3 points at home the week after with a large turn out etc



but ive just done that BBC predictor and its saying we could miss out on goal difference

Glad that at least its in our own hands. Win both and we're definitely in there. (Barring Chesterfield scoring 8 more than us over the two games.)

It's going to be determined at the last SCHEDULED game at CP v Aldershot.

It's not though is it we need Port Vale to drop points.
But saying that last 2 games they have got Bournemouth and Shrewsbury.

If we win both we'll overtake Aldershot

Shrewsbury will not be easy, so it's a case of being realistic now and not getting to carried away and getting your hopes up because our away from is not exactly clever

Looking at these fixtures the fixture secretary could, have done a better job.

may 1st
Accrington Stanley v Chesterfield
Aldershot v Lincoln City
Bournemouth v Port Vale
Bradford v Northampton,
Bury v Torquay
Shrewsbury v Morecambe
Dag & Red v Hereford

may 8th
Chesterfield v Bournemouth
Darlington v Dag & Red

Morecambe v Aldershot
Northampton v Bury
Port Vale v Shrewsbury,

Plenty of ale will be supt, who's will be in joy or sorrow.

My Son and I have just watched the FL Show and at the end went through all the different scenarios, looking at all the fixtures with the teams in the hunting pack.

At the end (where we decided that it is a Morecambe v Port Vale Wembley Final ) he turned round to me and said " Its more exciting than the Premiership isnt it Dad?."

I couldnt agree more.

It's fantastic mark, i am loving the fact that its coming right down to the wire could not of asked for the season to finish in such good fashion!

Whatever the outcome we are in for a very interesting final 2 games.

Play off's or 10th, no matter what happens over the next 2 week, It has been a fitting send off to the great old ground. Who in all honesty even dreamed of us being in this position last November when we were 20th with 15 points from 15 games?

The North stand was great with all the noise yesterday I'm sure that must have meant a bit to the players, and kept them going to the end.

So let’s get as many down to Shrews as we can and give them all the support we can, then onwards to the Shots game, and show the World that Morecambe love's football and how we Shrimps enjoy a PAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYY

aslong as we avoid defeat against Shrewsbury it will be all guns blazing against the shots as 4 points may be enough but by then we could be relying on other results

Just done the predictor (again) and to be honest, nothing has changed as far as we are concerned. I still have us down to miss out by a point and finish 9th, whilst 2 wins would see us finish 5th.

But if we win both then Aldershot won't be able to get more points than us.

Just changed it, though looking at it again I think just the two wins would do anyway.

Also, looking at the other end of the table and taking a breather from our play-off hopes, IF Accrington somehow find some form and beat Barnet in the week then the bees could be in trouble. They'd be only 4 points above Grimsby and have to go to Cleethorpes on Saturday. Fingers crossed from them.

Now what if

we beat shrewsbury

and Port Vaie lose to Bournemouth(possible)

and Accy beat Chesterfield( very possible)

and the Daggers fail to win( Hereford on fire at the moment)

would mean we could play a bore draw with Aldershot and both of us get in
PARTY TIME

My head hurts after reading that. I'm going to need a sliderule at the last game if any of that scenario comes to pass

Still have Northampton to think about

Seriously, I'd rather (and I fully expect) that no matter Saturday's results, the team absolutely go for it and produce for the fans and absolute belter. If anyone doesn't give 100% on Christie Park's last game they don't deserve to wear the shirt and frankly, don't deserve to be a professional footballer.

Same could be said of the supporters

Of course we have.

Just done it too, with us winning at Shrewsbury. I left our final fixture out of it. With the rest of my predictions in place, a draw for us would result in Aldershot & ourselves missing out to Port Vale on goal difference. A victory would have us fifth and Port Vale & Aldershot miss out. A defeat for us, Aldershot go fifth and we end up tenth.

It could be one of those games where news will be filtering around the ground as to how other teams are doing and be of interest to both sets of supporters!

What a difference a goal could make!

I did it with us drawing 1-1 at Shrews - and then again with us winning 1-2.

Then beating Aldershot.

Eleventh place - or fifth!
