Having 6 teams playing off for promotion is such a silly notion it's unreal. Although I know the odds are stacked against the sides finishing 6th & 7th, were one of those clubs to gain promotion then a season's worth of mediocrity has been rewarded inside the space of 10 days.

Those stats you quote above, Rob, are interesting. Only one fifth placed finisher has managed to gain promotion in the Isthmian League over the past decade and a bit. Personally speaking, were we to finish in the next four behind the champs, I'd fancy us to beat anyone ('ricay included) at home - away from home, less so. That said, in the past couple of months it's our away form that has impressed and our home form that has dipped.

Conclusion? None to be drawn.

Still plenty of work to be done between now and then, however.
