So roll up your sleeves Stanley 'cos runners up defo on

Seems like the resurgent Hartlepool can have a big say on who gets to the auto promotion and who gets into the play offs. They have to play 4 out of the 5 teams from 2nd down to 6th including us. Should be an interesting ride for Stanley fans.

My guess-
1-Northampton 92 pts
2-Oxford 87 pts
3-Bristol 84 pts
4-Stanley 83 pts
5-Plymouth 80 pts
6-Portsmouth 80 pts
7-Wycombe & Leyton Orient both 72 pts

So third is def. doable with a bit of luck and lots of heart.

Reckon it would be very ironic,if we needed a result from our last match against Satanage for automatic promotion. Looking at the other fixtures, i reckon we are defo in play-offs now?

I would love to poke them horrible gits.

The current answer to the original question is 78 ... for absolute certainty. 76 unless Wycombe and Exeter both win their last 5 games.

Exeter have Nhants n Bristol R. to play, Wycombe got Pompey,Oxford n Stanley so they are most unlikely to win em all imho. wimbledon got Pompey n Leyton O, Pompey got a nightmare run in.

Stanley - Morecambe, Hartlepool, York, Wycombe, Stevenage.

Bristol Rovers - Yeovil, Stevenage, Exeter, York, Dagenham.

Plymouth - Portsmouth, Leyton Orient, Dagenham, Cambridge, Hartlepool

Portsmouth - Plymouth, York, Wycombe, Wimbledon, Hartlepool, Northampton.

Oxford's last 2 at least don't look to be guaranteed max points & Bristol have two nearish derbies amid their easier looking run in. We haven't been trashing teams like those two but I'm reminded of the tortoise / hare outcome. Gonna be tight I think and apart from hoping to be at Wycombe, I'm saving my pension for either a trip 'home' (if a win agin Stevenage would see us promoted) or a visit to Wembly. Just ordered my mugshot from Tony (Kipax) of that day at Woking - d'ya sense I'm getting excited ?

I'm thinking similarly. But however handy it is, what I really don't want is a playoff semi-final at Fratton

Time to close this thread Moderator! Or alternatively rename to how many points to automatic promotion!
The way I see it is we will finish with 85 points, Bristol Rovers will finish with 81 points, Plymouth and Portsmouth could be discounted as their run ins are horrendous and as Pompey have to play both Plymouth and Northampton I cannot see either team getting more than 80 points maximum. It all depends on Oxford and how they finish as to whether we are 2nd or 3rd.

I like you're thinking Ozzy - I'm still not brave enough to think the 'P' word never mind say it out loud but am getting up the nerve to peek over the parapet & think maybe, just maybe it could be our year

What was that little proverb about not counting chickens??

I'm struggling to see where Brizzle are likely to drop any points, let alone 6. Yes they will probably have a blip somewhere along the way, but then you have to expect so will everybody else .... ooh me fingernails

[baldy]

Trying not to be too confident but a few stats...We've scored in every home game this season and conceded 1 goal in our last 5 games!

Morecambe haven't kept a clean sheet since 2 January, 18 games ago!

Whatever you do just make sure you drag everyone you know up to The Wham Stadium on Saturday afternoon!
