It turns out this Tuesday is somewhat of a Super Tuesday.
Maidstone v Sutton (2nd v 3rd)
Truro v Dartford (4th v 5th)
Maidenhead v Whitehawk (6th v 15th) [arguable they're actually 7th]
Weston v Basingstoke (20th v 22nd)
Things are so tight my personal beleif if that well either finish champions or 3rd. So in that respect I think we would want Dartford to win but have a really tough game.

I certainly agree it would be good if Truro give Dartford a tough game,but I think it would be better for Stones if Truro absolutely stuff Dartford to knock the Darts confidence for next Saturday.Then Truro winning at Havant would pretty much secure 4th place for them thus making our trip to Cornwall on the 16th not such a challenge.Truro could even start resting players in readiness for the playoffs. |

Didn't think about that. I'd still rather play Dartford in the semi finals of the playoff. But like you say - Truro could be doing us a favour By winning on Tuesday

At the risk of repeating myself, if we win all of our games we will be top. Just get on with it Jason，

I think Dartford might beat Truro on Tuesday, they seem to have hit abit of form in the last few games, I agree first or third for us, we need to beat Dartford shut my cousin and his mates up and the tiny matter of 3 points closer to winning the league!!

In a (doomed) attempt to take my mind off tonight...
It could be the end of Basingstoke's NS career tonight - their away record is abysmal, whereas Weston's home form isn't bad, and they need the points to get them away from the drop zone. Technically, of course, Basingstoke won't actually be relegated, but effectively this is their last chance of hope.
And the fact that Weston will be just a point behind Margate, with a game in hand, should they win tonight, illustrates nicely just how much the mighty have fallen.
Havant are on form at the moment (4th in the home form table) and Chelmsford's away form is dire (also, they must be feeling fairly safe by now), so H&W must be hoping that they can also pull away from the relegation zone. Interestingly, if they do, they overtake Margate and knock them down a place to 17th.
But the team most involved in tonight's games (other than those at the JWW) is, of course, Dartford. Not only are they playing the team above them, but Maidenhead will knock them out of the play-offs if Darts lose and Maidenhead win or draw.
On current form, Maidenhead should beat Whitehead at home fairly easily, but you never quite know with Whitehead - and, although they are 15th, they have three or four games in hand on the teams above them, and win those and they would be in the play-offs.
As for Dartford's own game, this could go either way. Both teams are on exactly the same form in theory, but if you look at home and away instead, it should be Truro's.
Win this, and Dartford will feel more secure about their play-off place - although they could still be relying on GD. But if they lose it, they could find themselves not only out of the play-offs but adrift by three points.
In summary, we could end up with Dartford out of the play-offs, or Truro less sure of finishing third, or Maidenhead as a possible play-off opponent - and almost certainly Margate fans even unhappier!
So, if we lose tonight, we should at least be able to console ourselves with someone else's misery!

Havant & Waterlooville(0) 0 1 (1)Chelmsford City
Maidenhead United(0) 3 0 (0)Whitehawk
Truro City(2) 3 0 (0)Dartford
Weston-super-Mare(0) 2 1 (0)Basingstoke Town
Basingstoke gone (if not actually mathematically)
Darts down to 7th - replaced in 4th play-off place by Maidenhead
Truro looking good to hold on to 3rd play-off place
Any dreams Whitehawk had of play-offs have gone.
Margate still where they were, but now have WSM 1 point behind them, with a game in hand.
