This weekend......

Post by Pigman »

...... I see Huntingdon play top club on Saturday and bottom club on Monday - just how many goals do you think they'll get in the two games - I reckon they'll hit double figures overall, not prepared to call Saturdays result mind.

Looking at Huntingdons remaining fixtures, it looks like if they take a point off spalding or win then they will take 2nd place without a doubt... They then go on to play 2 simple fixtures of s and l corby and sileby :roll:

I suspect they will enter double figures at corby :lol: so providing spalding win Saturday then it will go down to the wire on the 26th last game... We have the easier fixture but can anyone see sileby getting a point at Huntingdon :roll:

It's a funny old game but while it's mathematically possible there is still hope!!! Ok I maybe clutching at straws here..............

(All depending on the Wellingborough result) :D

A slim outside chance maybe. PNS beat Huntingdon recently but then lost 2-1 against Harborough last evening. Anything can happen I reckon.

Player availability is always a factor at this level. And what desire do players show when they are playing meaningless games. Just how motivated are S & L bearing in mind they are about to withdraw from the UCL.

I think Spalding will beat Huntingdon, but cant see Sileby taking a point off them.

I think it was several weeks ago. They want to return to intermediate level football. I don't know if it has been confirmed yet. If they do leave the UCL Prem next season will have only 17 clubs plus whoever are promoted. clubs. I am assuming no one will be relegated from level 4 to the UCL

They are certain to leave the UCL Premier as they will be relegated with one other that means Oadby and possibly Eynesbury will be promoted. I'm sure that the FA will move a couple of Midland clubs over to make 21. Thurnby Nirvana have already been mentioned.

I don't believe we're capable of matching that score from last night in our final game. We'll probably hit them for 5-6 which would still be a nice way to finish things off.

For those looking for a game on Saturday, Stamford are at home to FC United in what is looking like it'll be their penultimate competitive game in their current stadium. Should be a big crowd too with FC United battling it out with Chorley for promotion from Evo Stik North.
