samo II Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Lee Miller assists for both goals. Grr! Still, at least the team below us playing a game in hand is losing, and by a team we beat same time last week. For me, that counts for more right now, as I'd not mind if we couldn't climb the league much more, but certainly don't want to be dropping places between games.

Red white and red Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I wonder if a league team has ever had 10 games in hand on us before?... Any statos out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenage have to win all three games in hand to go above us which says it all really. We are in with a good shout of staying up providing we can keep our current ratio of points up.

COYR's Yeah, that is why tonight was so important, as though they COULD still get above us, it is a steep ask. Tomorrow night's match between Gillingham and Sheff U is a big one; United cannot go above us unless they win by 6 or more, but having them three points behind when we head there at the weekend would useful, as we could draw and maintain a nice gap. Because if we don't have the games in hand, we want those who do to have to play every game like a cup final, just to catch us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loderingo Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 That's my thinking too; not only will it need to get up to playing condition, but maintain that with game after game after game on it. Never happening, especially if the weather doesn't lift completely in the next month (which it likely won't). Think the league must (surely) be thinking about what to do, as they'll face a scheduling crisis very soon unless something is done.Crawley have 2 away fixtures next so have a chance to do some work on the pitch but then have 5 home games scheduled in March including 2 back-to-back Sat-Tue home games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the weather has been bad, but there is on guarantee it'll be better during the period they are playing on it every second day. Don't see them completing their fixtures, at least on their own pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Does anyone on here remember years ago when the Gas were out at Trumpton - think it was their first season there - the big fat donkey from HTV West news went and did a piece stood in the centre circle - with gloopy mud literally up to the top of his wellies? Think the Gaseous few had to play about 4 games in a week at the end of the season to be finished in time. Naturally, we were hugely sympathetic (no, we weren't really, actually we just laughed so much we dislocated our jaws) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossey Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 ....their game is off AGAIN tonight! This is getting ridiculous! Their pitch is clearly not fit to host league matches, they should be fined heavily or kicked out! Let's wait and see the state of our pitch next season, when rugby being played there as well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's a joke how they're allowed a crap grass pitch but lower teams out of the league who have 3G or similar pitches are told they can't move higher up the leagues because of their pitch You ever played a proper game on a 3g pitch? There's a reason they shouldn't be used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's alright ladies and gentlemen I've just fitted a giant pump from Brighton Sea front to the Crawley ground.

Drew Peacock Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I remember when Chesterfield had fixture congestion because of their cup run we played them when they were playing 3 a week, they were exhausted. Had been in the running for the play offs I think, but fell right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 The way I'm looking at it, they're going to have a very busy last few weeks of the season and will probably be tired when we come to play them on May 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours, rather have points than games in hand and Crawley should have some bad fixture congestion toward the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're level on points I expect them win some of their games. But us to pick up points on them when they lose. It could go down to the wire!! Now that would be horrible.

It could go down to the wire!! Now that would be horrible. Having to beat them on the final day to stay up They have one point less than us and 7 games in hand. We have the same goal difference as theirs. Personally expect them to pick up a few points and finish above us, along with Sheffield United. If we assume that we are likely to finish above Stevenage, Shrewsbury and Notts County then our competition for the final relegation place is Crewe, Tranny and whoever else drops into the race - Carlisle and Oldham look possibles to me.

Gillingham could also get sucked in - I appreciate they are 6 points ahead but they're not on the best run and are one of the few teams to not have games in hand on us!
