meat pie sausage roll Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Good, got your attention! Whilst National League football doesn’t make headline news, equally there won’t be anybody at sky bet taking too much time considering our chances in too much detail. i would like to provide a few facts to big up our prospects and why the 200-1 odds of promotion currently being offered do not reflect our chances. 1. WE NEED TO WIN OUR LAST 3 GAMES. One of these is against Halifax, and if we do:- 2 Halifax need to win two of their other 3 remaining games, and 3. Aldershot need to win 1 and draw 2 of their remaining 3 to be above us. 4. It could come down to goal difference with Halifax, but if the above is realised, it is likely that’s ours will be better, plus we have scored more goals. 5. It is likely that we will play Halifax next Thursday, possibly at a neutral venue which will be the 3rd of 4 games they will need to play in a week. 6, Oxford (who we play away Sat) are already relegated and are second bottom of the National league home table. 7, Wealdstone (who we play at home last) are sliding towards relegation , haven’t won in weeks and are second bottom of the national league away table. 8. If we do make the playoffs, it is likely that we will play Gateshead away, who will have played 5 games in just over a week. There’ll be no ticket restrictions and we should bring a good following and out number them 2:1. 9. Alternatively, it could be Solihull or Altrincham who we’ve already beaten away this season. 10. Anything could happen in the playoff semis and final. We got promoted from the old 3rd division 50 years ago in 73/74. Our next relegation was 20 years later in 93/94 Could our next promotion be 30 years after this in 23/24? Can see a pattern emerging!!! I would like to know what the odds were of us surviving in 92/93 with 3 games to go, or winning the title in 90/91 with 10 minutes to go. We are Oldham, and don’t do things the easy way. i know we’ve been gash for large parts of the season, but I really believe there are a few big performances in this team, somewhere. Please can I ask that we stop these sarky comments and just be nice to each other for 2 weeks and get behind the team. its years since we have been anywhere near the play offs and we should just try an enjoy it if we can.

Love the enthusiasm! Plenty will say there’s no chance but if that was the case why bother watching sport? Slim chance of it happening, but as you say there was a slim chance of us winning the last 3 in 1993. You never know… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 If we had beaten Rochdale, we would have been in with a decent chance. But we didn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
