If we win on Monday and any of Braintree, Solihull, Woking or York fail to win, we are mathematically safe.
In reality because the 6 teams below us have 3 games between them, it's pretty unlikely we'll go down.
Woking v York Guisley v Solihull Chester v Woking
The only reasonable way we'd end up in 21st is if we lose all our games and Woking win all theirs. That's assuming below us win all their games and the games between them go Wokings way.
Happy to be corrected.

As much as I enjoy reading these hypothetical scenarios, I don't even think we need to speculate anymore. I'm not one to sell the bearskin before you shoot the bear (as said by Claudio Ranieri about 15 years ago), but we're safe now, it's job done. I have confidence that we'll win at Boreham Wood on Monday and you can catch me celebrating mathematical safety in the Spitfire Lounge with a cool, cool Asahi.

Just in case you are going to the game on Monday its at home not at Boreham Wood. Didn't want you to have a wasted journey stuck on the M25 !

I think what you meant was "In reality, IT'S ABSO-BLOODY-LUTELY CERTAIN WE'LL STAY UP!"
2017-18 in the National - here we come!
Maidenhead/Dartford/Chelmsford/Railway Station/Orient/Other Minor 4th Division Club With Serious Debt Problems/Generic Northern Clubs With Odd Sounding Names - start shitting yourself now, the Stones are back and here to stay!

'Against Boreham Wood' was intended.

Then we let 4 goals in and the weather deteriorated.....it was freezing !!

Think about it this way:
Hartlepool = Jeff Stelling
Therefore if Hartlepool drop to the NL it means more publicity for the other 23 sides thanks to Soccer Saturday

I quite liked Hartlepool, with interesting old Victorian buildings, working mans club, run down dog track and ex cinemas everywhere. Mind you, that was before rejuvenation. I expect they have redeveloped and sanitised much of the character out of the town.
As for the league, time is on our side. If other sides fail to do what they need, we will be safe soon enough.
