April

[Southern Shayman]

Worried because apart from last saturday we've been turd for weeks, and have stopped scoring goals.

Can see why you're nervous to be honest. If you lose against us and fail to get a win at a possibly rejuvenated Wrexham then it could get very nervy for you!

Having said that I fully expect a 0-0 draw at our place

Some difficult games in there but if we continue our form until the end of the season and win our next four games then I reckon we will be champions because Ilkeston and Workington are four points of us but we have 2 or more games in hand over them.

Eight games in April, you'll certainly be busy.

 

[Greenacres]

That is a busy month for FC United. What is the state of play with the new ground, are you in it already, or any idea when that might happen.

We are currently playing at Curzon Ashtons ground until broadhurst park is finished. Still no news when the ground will be ready but surely it has to be finished by the start of next season.

Aha, think I saw a picture of it under construction a while back, looked pretty advanced so no reason to see why it shouldn't be ready for next season. What sort of capacity will it hold and is it being built with view to future expansion...if you make it into the Football League.

The capacity will be around 5,000 and yes it is being built with a view to future expansions as the main stand will have space on both sides to build.

Dartford (a)

Under normal circumstances, you'd be hoping for 3 or 4 wins from that lot. But we're not under normal circumstances.

This can't end soon enough. I refuse to believe the board will keep Moyses - if they do, I genuinely think we'll go down next season.

Might scrape wins against Telford and Dartford.

Winning by four at Whitby, by our experience, is the true sign of champions.

As sets of fans we've had our friction but good luck on the home strait. Jelious of Workington away as a final game. Lord it in the Lakes, fill out a proper gnarly old ground. Not so jelious of Skem away, done that move onto the next one.

Seeing Broadhurst Park grow is salivating stuff. Glad the Northwich end has a new home, but a new build with character is quite an achievement. Doubt there'll be many dry eyes on your first game there.

I think if we slip up anywhere it'll be the away matches, Dartford (on a bad pitch less than 48 hours after playing Nuneaton) and Kiddy (not a bad side at all - I measure them as much of a banana skin as Wrexham who beat us away). Think we'll beat Nuneaton comfortably but make a meal out of things against Halifax and Gateshead, which are tricky matches at any time of the season. Waiting to see how the next two matches go before booking tickets to Kiddy!

I just can't see where Grimsby will drop points. Rovers have harder games than them and seem to be having problems scoring. Can only hope they mess up sooner rather than later to give us some confidence.

Going to wire here, chaps

I think Nuneaton will be tougher then you think. Still think you'll nick it 2-1

The one of ours I'm most nervous about is Southport away, played there 4 times and only won once, and that was a scratchy 1 nil.
I had been worried about Gateshead but last couple of days I've got some ultra confidence from somewhere that we will turn them over comfortably.
Let the fun commence........

 

[Greenacres]

Two big games today; FGR v Aldershot and Halifax v Macclesfield. If Rovers lose then it really opens up the race for the fourth play-off place and Eastleigh, Halifax and Woking will surely fancy their chances of filling it. In the other game it isn't quite win or bust for Halifax but a victory for them might keep the third play-off place open and set the jitters running for Macclesfield. The club that could really benefit are Woking, who on the face of it have a slightly easier end to their season and are rapidly taking on the guise of the horse coming up on the rails, I'm far from being a betting man but if I were a small flutter would be on the Cards!

 

[Greenacres]

Good luck to Eastleigh and Woking in your battle for the fourth play-off slot. Today we got what we deserved, absolutely nothing, outplayed and outsung by an Aldershot team and supporters that seemed to want it far more than we did. The only consolation is that we will get to play Cheltenham next season...a proper local derby!

Problems scoring you say ?

We're CHAMPIONS

 

[Sparrow]

Welling (H) - Win - Drew
Dover (A) - Win - Lost
Gateshead (H) - Draw - Won
Nuneaton (A) - Win - Drew
Halifax (H) - Win - Won

I'd be gutted if three wins and a draw doesn't get us into the play-offs. Dover Away is a really tough game two days after Welling. Four points from those two fixtures would be a good return. What a season it has been for us though and it's still alive going into the final month.

Just fell short. Would have loved to have taken it to the last day to pile the pressure on FGR. Fantastic season.

 

[Harrier94]

Telford (A) Win DREW
Bristol Rovers (H) Lose LOST
Welling (A) Win LOST
Barnet (H) Draw DREW
Eastleigh (A) Lose LOST

I'd be very happy with 7/15 and would probably take 6/15. We could have a serious say in the title race depending on how the games against Bristol Rovers and Barnet go

2/15 poor month but was to be expected. Roll on next season

 

[rudebwoyben]

April is the cruelest month (although I never saw TS Eliot as a football fan) but I'm glad that it wasn't for us!

 

[DarkSithLord]

Wrexham (A) Draw
Grimsby (H) Lose
Eastleigh (A) Lose
Welling (H) Win
Bristol Rovers Lose

Our destiny is in our hands now despite our tough run in. Following yesterdays performance and result we should fear anyone.

Been a little conservative and confident we can nick all 3 points at the racecourse and secure a 5th season in the Non league top flight. An unbelievable achievement considering the start, budget and standard of oppostion!

How wrong was I!
