I do like this thread and I'm not trying to spoil it at all.

The simplification of it though is we need 6 more wins. If we win just minus 1 from the total and if we don't the number needed stats the same.

Can we win 6 more games? I look at the squad, the way the team are performing and the run if recent results and I can't help but feel that we definitely can.

Then I realise we need to win very nearly half of our remaining games and I start to wonder.... Few injuries/ suspensions, bit of bad luck, too many draws etc and it 's over and out.

To reiterate what others have said, I think with sensible stewarding you wouldn't have seen any trouble, certainly nothing to the extent of what happened. The stewards were spoiling for a confrontation and getting very physical with people, quite unnecessarily in most cases. You behave like that with football fans who've had a couple of pints in them and we all know what the consequences are likely to be.

No, as Deepcut has said we're currently 3 points ahead of the original target, so 55 points.

I'll bet you as much money as you've got that it'll be less than 55.

If 52 is not enough I'll be amazed.

I'm surprised 1 of the chavvy kids, hasn't uploaded a video to youtube or suchlike.

No, as Deepcut has said we're currently 3 points ahead of the original target, so 55 points.

We have 34 points, there are 12 games left, 12x 1.5 = 18, if you add that to 34, you get 52. Sorry stato, you are wrong on this occasion.

Basically the steward told a group of lads to sit down because it was restricting peoples view but the people behind them were standing up so it was a very pointless confrontation. The steward then decided to eject only one of them because they wouldn't sit down and that's when other people got involved and righty so but in the end it got to out of hand. But the stewards acted very unprofessionally

Just f&cking sit down for the majority of the game!! Saves a lot of trouble in the long run!
Saw the one bloke laying into the steward after the police had got the first lot out and left the stand undermanned..not a nice sight next to their family enclosure!

Not nice for my lad to have seen this either! And as for the person who broke and then threw a seat, not impressed!

And as you have mentioned Bingers, because of what was going on in the crowd to our left I did indeed miss what happened for the red card!

Cheers Colonel and Betaboy.

Unnecessary handbags from both sides.

The standing wasn't a problem, so didn't really need to be tackled, but when asked those involved could have made an effort to appear compliant and then carried on as before without any unpleasantness.

It meant that many who were there would not know what happened for Ravenhill's second.  It also meant that Linda missed our goal as she had her UN peace envoy role to carry out.

I was really cross with that starting 11 with no Sinclair or Hackett and the terrible trio back in midfield but, to be fair, all three of them had really good games. I guess listening to this could give a different impression from being at the game: we looked the slightly better side in a quite cagey but good quality first half. The second half was like a different match and much more open: they were always going to score the way they started the second half but were only really on top for the first 15 minutes and we didn't really miss a beat after RR was sent off and showed real backbone and determination. The equaliser was well deserved and we could have snuck a late winner - it's not as though we were on the ropes. Scunny will be amazed to have had that game against second bottom and pretty pleased with their point. Carter really committed again and made a late 50 yard break, Deegan looked good on the ball and had some nice touches, Morris showed good movement and looked a footballer - who'd have thought it! Having seen Scunny twice now this season, I don't think they're very good - and there's more 'fight' in their stewards than their players!
