What a day. 9 wins in a row written off at the end of march. Unbelievable turnaround.
We started poorly as well yesterday, rare defensive mistake from Brackley let's us score and much like the Alfreton game we didn't look like conceding bar 1 mistake near the end. But thank you Fylde for Kyle...
It's strange we've yet to win a playoff round before this year. And Brackley are known for not winning the playoffs. Ultimately if we'd been half decent at any point between August and the end of march we'd have been at least 4th but we weren't and left it too late to get a home tie.
But...
I'm not one who's overreacting really. I'm a season ticket holder and the ones missing out aren't. It's well known being a season ticket holder with us gets you benefits throughout the season like this.
It was the same with the Reading and West Ham games past year. Of course we could probably...
Got my ticket for Sunday. Tickets went on sale at 6pm. Saw there was an online queue which I joined at 25 past 5 and was ticket number 120 when I got mine. Apparently 600 had gone by 20 past 6
700 tickets confirmed. Season ticket holders get priority and our social media responses have gone into meltdown. Very over the top and attacking the club for providing the best solution in a situation out of their control.
It's going to be a tricky one for tickets on Sunday. We have 1000 season ticket holders alone and the rumours are we're getting 700 tickets. Plenty of fans go to loads of games without a season ticket.
Going to be plenty of disappointed fans when they are released
Sadly can't go to the game today and maybe that helps with not being nervous but in going in with no expectations. Lucky to even be in the playoffs so any progression is a success.
If we start like we have been and get another early goal it would put the pressure on Kings Lynn.

Nothing official has been confirmed last night but estimate of 1000 Harriers fans at Alfreton.
Odd that nothing official has come out as we were told earlier in the day how had been sold at that time. Might be becuase we outnumbered them or close to it.
After that early goal Alfreton worried us with a few early throw ins but once we settled down they didn't offer any threat. It seems we figured out the formula to nullify them and it worked.
22 long throws launched into our box and Alfreton got the first contact 1 time. The 3 back formation...
I thought the same. And from the opposite end of the ground I didn't even think it was in. But we've posted this angle this morning. And to be fair to the Alfreton keeper he doesn't have a chance it's a really good header. Just looks worse as he hadn't dived for it.
