Match Day Good Friday fixtures

[Boz]

Boreham Wood - Dagenham
Braintree - Guiseley
Bromley - Barrow
Dover - Southport
Forest Green - Chester
Lincoln - Torquay
North Ferriby - Eastleigh
Solihull - York
Sutton - Gateshead
Tranmere - Aldershot
Woking - Macclesfield
Wrexham - Maidstone

Rovers v Shots is an interesting one. How will Tranmere bounce back from a slightly unfortunate defeat to Forest Green and the loss of Jay Harris? It seems that James Wallace didn't have the physical capacity to handle Harris' work-rate when needed. Mellon has had a bit of a blind-spot over Wallace, but if Lois Maynard is fit again he must be the replacement for Harris. I think we'll drop points again.

The other games at the top would expect wins for Lincoln (narrowly over a battling Torquay sabotaged by the new owners) and Forest Green. Dover will win, which I think relegates Southport and Barrow should overcome Bromley, but Dagenham and Gateshead have tougher looking trips.

At the bottom, Solihull need to get something out of the clash with York to halt their free-fall but unsure they will. NFU should preserve their status for another game with a win over Eastleigh. I can see Braintree and Maidstone getting a point from their games, but less sure Woking will add to their tally hosting Macclesfield.

Well it's quite simple really, if Tranmere drop points again alongside another win for us, then it's done.

I think tomorrow will be slightly more challenging than Tuesday - I have full respect for Torquay and their fans, I absolutely don't want to see them relegated, they're a great club with great people. But ultimately, we should win, there can be no excuses.

Looking forward to 8000+ of the division's best fans creating a wall of noise.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

We need at least three points from this weekend to take the pressure off going into the last two games.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Be interesting to see if the win Tuesday has sparked us to hit form for the play-offs. We've had joy against Chester in the league and trophy so will be favourites but there's the NFU result as a warning.

I appreciate the kind words but we won't bring that many.

 

[GodsGift]

Another jammy 1-0 win will do me. Torquay's results against the top sides does worry me though.

 

[FGRJC]

Unfortunately I don't get good Friday off of work which is shit. So will have my headphones, we need to win our remaining games to get ort confidence and form going. I think we'll win 2-0 and our third clean sheet in a row!

I recommend you sit in the Kop then, great atmosphere in there at the moment.

I think we have given the team the best backing in the NL this season.

So do we!

Apart from that tinpot Icelandic clap shit, was speaking to someone when I was in Iceland about it and he said any less than 5.000 fans and it sounds terrible and it certainly sounded terrible on Tuesday

You lot created a very good atmosphere and were very loud but you don't need to do that tinpot crap

 

[Bendubz]

A win would surely see us safe in all but name. I'd happily take a draw though, we're suffering from fatigue now and should we need the points we still have Boreham at home, who we've kept 2 clean sheets against this season already away from home and should beat.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

You have several two thousand ish gates. Our lowest is 4k, not even an argument that we have more consistent support. Sure you can drag in more glory hunters than we can as there's no big clubs near you, but we still have the two biggest gates of the season.

 

[GodsGift]

Who gives a fuck, seriously?!

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Who gives a fuck, seriously?!

Clearly your fans if you looked at the replies to the official Tranmere twitter and Facebook accounts.

We've made a habit of losing to teams "we should beat" this season, so I'm not holding my breath on that. I am starting to believe we'll pick up enough points to survive though.

Have we had SEVERAL two thousand ish gates? When? Can only remember one in the league and our cup tie with Guiseley. We've averaged 7000 for our last 13 home games since everyone 'JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON'
But hey you guys more about us than we do.
In all seriousness good luck to you and hope we both go up.
Our average crowds yours is 5072 and ours is 4746 both amazing for this level.

 

[Davidimp]

Tough game and we will have to play a lot better than we did Tuesday but the same result will do us nicely.

 

[JaredSUFC]

As always I'm happy as we long as we don't lose

 

[White Army]

A game we need to win, not just to keep the pressure on Lincoln in the event of an unlikely slip up, but to give the players confidence going into the playoffs. If we lose tomorrow its likely we'll play aldershot in the playoffs giving them an edge over us with them winning both games.

Hopefully another big crowd, with a decent away following as its just as big a game for them, ticket sales are apparently going well.

Ill go for 2-1 Tranmere, Buxton and Norwood with the goals, attendance of 6800, 450 aldershot.

I was talking about noise, IMO we have had the best backing in terms of atmosphere this season. Obviously other clubs can only correberate whether that is true or not.

Thought Tranmere shaded that Tuesday night though maybe the early start when we visited you muted things a bit.

 

[Pablosammy]

This attendance shite is tedious.

The atmosphere at Lincoln when we went there was nothing special at all - I've been to many noisier grounds with fewer fans in attendance. Our atmosphere has improved greatly, but was really awful for most of the season. I don't think either of us can boast about anything, in all honesty.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Jay Harris injury confirmed as being ACL. Outrageous how many long term injuries we have had this season. We'll have to open an extra part of the Stadium for them to all sit in soon!

Then don't respond if it's tedious!

I think the atmosphere at SB this season has been the best I have ever known and that's 35+ years of pain with a few highlights.

Fair enough, but that doesn't put you in a position to say it's the best in the league.

Aggghh... mustn't get drawn in!

 

[Reremnart]

"the division's best fans"

Maybe the 3500 who went regularly prior to December have a slight claim to that title as do the loyal fans of most clubs in this league. ourselves included, but other than that the rest of you lot are bandwagon jumpers who probably hadn`t set foot in SB since Graham Taylor was the manager. Where were "the division`s best fans" when you got a sub 2500 crowd against Southport early in the season? Let`s see how many of them stick around if you have a couple of seasons in mid table in League 2.

and btw As much as I love the atmosphere at Prenton Park these last few games, which has been amazing, that God awful Icelanic clapping nonsense on Tuesday was dreadful and I hope thats the last I ever see of it at our place. Problem is it probably won`t be.

We could do with eliminating the shots from the play off picture as they and Dagenham are the best we have played this year.

I'm a tad scared of Dover too I remember a few years ago battering reading twice in the league only for them to hammer us in the playoffs ... scared history will repeat itself

I know mate, it's my opinion we have had the best atmosphere in this league, that's why I said it's up to other fans whether they agree or not. Maybe the lethargy over ten or so years with the club in terminal decline has really bottomed out and people are finally seeing a new LCFC. Whatever happpens between now and the end of the season it's been an amazing turnaround.

It does happen with most clubs to be fair. Similar to asking where did all the Wales fans suddenly appear from during the Euros? Everyone had suddenly "ALWAYS been Welsh" when they beat Belgium. They got a crowd of 529 in Dublin for a match against Nothern Ireland a few years back and barely got 10,000 home fans in qualifying games for the 2014 World Cup. Probably the same Welsh people who previously only cared about rugby and thought football was "gay".
