There's Much Riding On Results In The North Tonight

There’s an awful lot depending on the outcome of Stockport County’s trip to Chester tonight.

Not only will Jim Gannon’s team overhaul Chorley with three points if they win their game in hand later on.

But Chester also need the points as they try to squeeze into the top seven with a late season surge.

It would take a giant goal swing, seven in fact, but they could potentially move into the play-off pack with a very, very good night.

That depends on events at the New Bucks Head - but if there’s one team you would want to wipe the floor with an opponent right now it’s Altrincham.

After hitting seven goals at Alfreton they’re at AFC Telford, who recorded a solid point at leaders Chorley on Saturday and occupy the last play-off place.

Embarrassed Alfreton certainly owe their fans one - they can put things right by beating Hereford.

Blyth Spartans’ impressive win over Boston kept their top seven hopes alive at the weekend.

If Alun Armstrong’s team beat doomed Nuneaton and other results go for them, they could really be in the mix come 9.45pm.
