No need for hyperbole, but.....

....surely this Saturday's game is the most important fixture we've had in the past 148 years?

Well, maybe not quite.  But it IS a very important fixture.  At 4.50PM on Saturday 1st February the Poppies could be massive EIGHT points clear of the relegation zone, with a buffer zone of FIVE teams between us and the bottom TWO, and a game or two in hand over most of them.

That's Option A.  Our preferred option.  Obviously.

Should things not go quite as well, Option B could find us just TWO points above the relegation zone.

That's how intriguing the visit of Curzon Ashton is this weekend.  If, somehow, you are a reader of this blog, but not a regular at Latimer Park, firstly, get a life, and secondly get to muddy Burton to cheer your team on!

Just for one day, Curzon Ashton FC are the Third Reich,
The Axis of Evil, Rushden & Diamonds, Mordor,
and DRC Locums rolled into one.

They must be vanquished.
