With Spalding winning at Stamford tonight with a last minute goal, it now means that should we be unsuccessful in our last two matches and Spalding win their last two, we would finish in third place . This means that if we win our play off semi, we could potentially face an away trip to Spalding in the final, where we have already been thrashed this season. It emphasises just how important our home defeats against Boldmere, Shepshed and Sutton were, indeed the inept displays could have cost us the title.

Spalding have Khalsa last game of season so that will go a long way to deciding final positions

I feel Stamford might be on the beach for the rest of the season

I think they'll be up for it against us. https://twitter.com/StamfordAFC1896/sta ... 19137?s=20

Or us against them at least.

Not a great example for the kids nor on their official account. I gather it was started by one of ours making the open top bus gag about them.
Im a firm beleiver of two wrongs not making a right.

I've got no probs with it. If our lot were doing it I'd laugh my socks off. We DID f*ck it up and hand them the title after all. Now we knuckle down, give them the applause they deserve, and give everything to win these play offs!

They've earned the right to gloat. Hopefully our lot will be motivated to shove it down their throats next week.

100% agree Andy
If we dish it out then we got to be able to take it.

I don't even care about that. We've always got on well with Stamford and nothing will change. It's all about us now. If we can win today I'll settle for a weakened team next week and take a loss. It will already be job done play offs wise and as many rested legs for Tuesday will be of benefit to us. Today is big though.

You're right. Coming second is the only thing that matters now. I've a nasty feeling it will go to the last day though, so anything that motivates the team for that is good (even if it's just a video of a half-cut Stamford celebrating winning the league)!
