Don't know for sure, but suspect it may be because there's a home friendly against Needham Market this Saturday, first.

Nothing much changes on here, either.   

Inevitable decision. I believe there were issues that only MG himself can ultimately resolve, with the right help.

Spalding have just announced Alex Clare as their new Head of Media.

Yes, if Hereford had drawn tonight, a point would have seen us safe. Reason being, Hereford would now be on 49pts and could only get 52, the same us. Our goal difference is superior by a large margin and 8 goal defeats in two consecutive matches, at this level are highly unlikely. I

However, as the Marine keeper managed to throw away a point at the death, WHEN Hereford beat Peterborough Sports on Saturday, even if it's by 7 (they've scored than us), if we get a point and Alfreton beat Curzon, I believe we survive.

Only other miracle occurrence would be Peterborough Sports beating Hereford. I think I'll keep my fingers crossed for plan A.

Quote from: fenlander on April 20, 2026, 12:15:15 PMThanks to Igoal difference, if Hereford were to lose on Tuesday or Saturday, we are safe.

If they don't lose either of their last two, a point on Saturday would see us safe, as Alfreton and Curzon play each other, and only one of them could overtake us. We would remain above Hereford on goal difference.

Hope this helps bring some clarity. 

If Hereford win both their games, Curzon beat Alfreton and Bedford draw. Then a point at Chester won't be enough. Hopefully Marine will beat Hereford tomorrow

If Hereford draw one, a point would see us safe.

Just remind me how this came about.

The amount invested in the club by TSI has not been disclosed and Cleeve told BBC Radio Norfolk: "That's how most companies conduct their business. I've often been a little bit too open but I've done that because that's how I am, but we're now in a situation where we move forward in a slightly different direction and that means things are a little more private."

He added: "I believe Turn and Joe will be great partners for the club. There will be a lot of interesting developments along the way, especially over the next few months as we get the whole thing moving.

"He's a very straightforward guy and not someone who has a huge board of directors and sits there and pontificates... there's a real interest in English football, a real interest in getting involved in it and obviously we know the guy at Salford [co-owner Peter Lim] is from Singapore.

So, the way I see it after tonight is this.
Alfreton have to win their last two games to have any chance of staying up.
Hereford have to win at least two of their last three, even if we don't pick up another point. IF we can win on Saturday, Hereford would need to win all three of their last games to catch us. It's also possible that we may not the ones for the drop even if they do.

All the above takes account of the goal difference for all three teams.

My point, Tony, is the score, not the result. If Hereford can win by two or more, Oxford go below us. Just a one goal win means Oxford stay above us and Hereford gain 3 points on us. A lose, lose situation.

Worst score for us tonight, would be a 1-0 win for Hereford over Oxford City.

Not sure who does the other one, or who you mean, but I know Greg Plummer was there because I saw him.
