Glad thats cleared up.
Well done bozzer for clearing this up - so to secure 3rd spot requires us to win 2 games (assuming Wisbech, Thurnby and Holbeach keep winning? That right? So Welly (assuming we and all of them win Monday) could be the big day???? Pay as you like, potential promotion party - could be a big crowd ;)

:lol: blimey, such a rare document should be auctioned off ;)

Excellent news though - at least we know when celebration phase 1 can commence, not that we're counting any chickens, but win 2 games and that is mission accomplished as far as the 2014/15 season's action plan is concerned - then it's just cream on top of the cake time if we can do it :)

I believe a win and a draw would do - to reach 90 points, as both Thurnby and Holbeach can't reach that total as they still have to play each other.

If our three rivals win all of their games up until Monday it will make for an interesting Easter Monday afternoon - Thurnby kick off at 1pm, then Holbeach play Wisbech at the same time as we face Long Buckby. We might be in the situation where a Holbeach win would delay confirming our promotion, but we'd be happy with that as it would mean a Wisbech defeat.

For purely selfish reasons I hope it goes to the 11th - I'm away for the Long Buckby game and don't want to miss the fun,but will be travelling back in time for the Welly game, plus to do it against then would be kinda special ;)

It's not a formality though and we need to stay focused on the job, to not do so would be disrespectful to our up and coming opponents and potentially disastrous for us !!

One game at a time eh? We've got a cup semi final to win first :)
