I don't think 50 points will be enough to save us this year and therefore need a minimum of 4 points from our last two games, which I predict will keep us on on GD 17 Guiseley 52 points GD -16 18 Torquay 51 -9 19 York 51 -15 20 Woking 51 -18 ---------------------------- 21 Solihull 51 -19 22 Braintree48 -25  |

Safe?? PS: I got above the line by us and York getting 50 points with us on the superior GD and Braintree ending on 49 points. My prediction is that my prediction may be wrong.  |

A point at Dover will guarantee keeping things alive until the last game and then anything can happen as we found out to our cost in League one 12 years ago. Some unfriendly police dogs may have to be kept on stand by in that case.

Tis written in the stars sir....tis written in the stars.... |

Just as we tend to challenge for promotion in years ending in 8, we tend to battle relegation in years ending in 7. Coincidentally, 87, 97, 17 also see us battling relegation in a General Election year, whilst 07 saw no General Election but relegation.

Are you feeling o.k. Chelston? Or has someone hacked his account? |

Am I correct in saying that a Torquay loss tomorrow coupled with wins for York and Guiseley would send us southbound?

Apparently we are segregated tomorrow. I quite liked the change ends and say hello as we crossed at half time when there before.

I was at Selhurst Park on 1 May 1957 where we played really well to gain a 1-1 draw, but were denied promotion by a superior goal average by Ipswich Town. I have always felt that the strength of Torquay United in that era was best exemplified by the fact that Ipswich Town were League champions only five years later.
I was also at Leyton Orient on 2 May 1998, when a header from a corner by Alex Watson would have ensured promotion to what was then known as Division 2, except that it hit the bar.
I was also at Barnet on 5 May 2001, where a 3-0 half time lead was eventually pulled back to 3-2. This club has always known how to make its fans suffer.
We have an even worse scenario tomorrow, as the club is so far away from regaining its Football League status and, despite what the clown who now owns it has said, relegation to NLS will be a catastrophe of unprecedented proportions. I shall be listening on Radio Devon tomorrow hoping that I don't have a heart attack.
