My picks to go down, Tamworth, Gainsborough and North Ferriby.
No change.
However, could Gainsborough (remaining games are Telford (A), Tamworth (H)) jump over Leamington to stay up? Leamington on 45 points have these games to play (Chorley(H), York(A) and Salford (H)). Could Leamington stay up by taking point(s) off York?!?!



Salford;
Southport 0-1 Salford; On Tuesday, a goal in the 67th min was enough for Salford to win, they need one point to win the league after Harrogate’s loss.

Harrogate;
Boston 3-0 Harrogate; Harrogate fell behind 2-0 by half time on the way to a 3-0 loss on Tuesday night at Boston. Harrogate need two points to guarantee finishing in 2nd place

Brackley;
Brackley 0-1 Bradford; On Tuesday night Brackley lost at home for the second time in 4 days after being unbeaten at home all season previously, a single goal in the 80th min was enough for Bradford to win. Brackley remain in 3rd place, 5 points ahead of Kidderminster, Brackley need two points to guarantee 3rd place at season’s end.

Kidderminster;
Spennymoor 1-1 Kidderminster; Kidderminster took the lead in the 58th min on Tuesday at Harrogate and were happy to go home with a point after Spennymoor equalised in the 74th min. Kidder maintain 4th place in the table, they need 3 more points from their last two games to be guaranteed 4th place at the end of the season.

Stockport;
Chorley 1-1 Stockport; Chorley lead at half time 1-0, Stockport equalised in the 72nd min for a valuable point on Tuesday. With York and Blyth losing, Stockport secured a playoff position. They can still finish anywhere between 4th and 7th place.

Chorley;
Chorley 1-1 Stockport; On Tuesday Chorley scored in the 27th min and lead at half time, Stockport equalised in the 72nd min, Chorley were unable to find a winner. Chorley remain in 6th place (59 points) above Spennymoor (59) on goal difference (12 to 6). Chorley have two games in hand on 8th place Bradford (2 games remaining, 57 points) and 9th place York (2 games remaining, 57 points), Chorley needs 6 points from 4 games to be mathematically in the playoffs, Blyth can get to 64 points.

Spennymoor;
Spennymoor 1-1 Kidderminster ; Another ‘home’ game at Harrogate, Spennymoor were able to salvage a point on Tuesday after falling behind in the 58th min, equalizing in the 74th but unable to get a winner. Spenny remain in 7th place, Spenny (59 points) have three games in hand on 8th place Bradford (2 games remaining, 57 points) and 9th place York (2 games remaining, 57 points), Spenny needs 6 points from 5 games to be mathematically in the playoffs, Blyth can get to 64 points.

Bradford P.A.;
Brackley 0-1 Bradford; Bradford scored in the 80th min to win the game on Tuesday. Bradford rise to 8th place above York. Bradford have won three straight, they can get to 63 points, 6th place Chorley (4 games to play, 59 points) and 7th place Spennymoor ( 5 games to play, 59 points) need 5 points to prevent Bradford from making the playoffs.

York;
FCUM 1-0 York; York lost their 4th game in a row, conceding a 61st min goal to FCUM on Tuesday. York (57 points) fall to 9th place as Bradford are above them on goal difference. York has two games left, Chorley has 2 more points (59), 4 games to play, Spennymoor has also (59), 5 games to play. York know that if Chorley and Spennymoor both gain 5 more points then York cannot make the playoffs.

Boston; (2 games); 24/04 Nuneaton (A), 28/04 Telford (H)
Boston 3-0 Harrogate; A great performance for Boston on Tuesday night saw them score three times, after 29, 35 & 84 mins to beat Harrogate 3-0.

Blyth;
Blyth 0-1 vs Telford; Blyth fought hard on Tuesday but went down to a goal after 28 mins to lose their 7th straight game. Blyth fall to 11th place as Boston won their game over Harrogate. It is very likely Blyth will not make the playoffs, they are down to 4 games to play. Blyth trail 6th place Chorley by 7 points with 4 games to play. 7th place Spennymoor have 7 more points and a game in hand. Chorley and Spenny both need 6 points to be mathematically certain of being in the playoffs.

Nuneaton; (1 game); 21/04 Darlington (A)
Curzon Ashton 2-2 Nuneaton; On Monday, Nuneaton fell behind before equalising in the 44th min, Curzon scored again before Nuneaton equalising in the 91st min.

No midweek game.

FC Utd of Man; (2 games); 21/04 Alfreton (A), 28/04 North Ferriby
FCUM 1-0 York; On Tuesday FCUM beat York with a goal in the 61st min. FCUM have reached 50 points, helped by winning 3 of their last 5 games and are mathematically safe from relegation.

Southport; (1 game); 25/04 Darlington (A)
Southport 0-1 Salford; Southport were beaten by a 67th min goal in Tuesday’s match.

Telford; (1 game); 21/04 Gainsborough (H)
Blyth 0-1 vs Telford; A huge win for Telford on Tuesday. Slightly against the run of play, they took the lead in the 28th min. Blyth were better in the second half but could not break down Telford who took home the three points. Telford rise to 16th place, they are four points in front of 20th place Gainsborough, Telford need 3 points from 3 games to be mathematically safe from relegation. Saturday they are home to Gainsborough who need the three points to try and jump out of the bottom three.

Curzon Ashton; (0 game);
Curzon Ashton 2-2 Nuneaton; On Monday, Curzon Ashton almost got the three points that would have eased relegation worries greatly. A 16th min goal was cancelled out by Nuneaton by half time. Curzon took the lead in the 66th min before Nuneaton’s 91st min equaliser. Curzon fall to 18th place on goal difference (-9) after Telford’s win on Tuesday. Curzon (-9 goal difference) are tied on 46 points with Alfreton(-4). 20th place Gainsborough are on 43 points (-28). Curzon do not have any Bottom 11 teams to play in their last three games (Spennymoor(H), Blyth(A), Harrogate(A)).

Gainsborough; (3 games); 17/04 North Ferriby (A), 21/04 Telford (A), 28/04 Tamworth (H)
North Ferriby 0-1 Gainsborough; Gainsborough got another huge win on Tuesday, beating North Ferriby 1-0 with a 29th min goal. Gainsborough rise to 20th place, trailing 19th place Leamington by 2 points. They may still avoid relegation, three wins in the last five games has given them hope.

If North Ferriby go under next month or don't take a place in the Evo Stik - both of which are entirely possible - does that mean someone will get a reprieve from relegation?

Surely it would mean the opposite? Or am I being thick?

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Not from our league but maybe the one below although the FA are starting to favour extra promotion places I believe rather than reprieving a team in a relegation position.
