Macclesfield need to match or beat Tranmere's result (at Halifax) to be crowned champions on Saturday.

As its an early KO that means only a win will give Macc the title at the final whistle of our game.

Blimey....think we can all work that one out for ourselves Rendel.

It's a massive game in the context of the league, so I think it's reasonable for someone to point this out.

Clearly there hasn't been much comment on this game yet, so is it not such a big one for Eastleigh fans? Personally I think the chance to see a bit of history is worth shouting about.

As such, I wonder what the attendance will be? Macc fans on their forum are unhappy with the KO switch, and some won't be coming, but with the overall interest and the cameras, surely we should get 2500-3000?

As for the result, all I can ask for is that we give them a good game. I think we've put the effort in the last couple of home games, despite the lack of quality at times.
A draw is possible, but they should be able to beat us, if they're worthy of their champions-elect title, unless nerves get the better of them.
As I've said before, their manager and players have performed miracles, on their budget, to get them into this position. Especially if you look at the other clubs in this league.  

Another chance to showcase our facilities (and team), so hope all goes well on that front.

I suspect it will be another incredibly frustrating game where the opposition plays Eastleigh off the park, the Macc fans sing their heart out while ours sit there like they’re in a morgue and their directors, subs, management team all passionate and united whilst ours sit there like statues. End of tomorrow’s game can’t come quick enough for me.

You should never wish your life away Will there might not be much of it left, enjoy every minute you can!

He's right though. 

The last two seasons have been an utter nause up & the sooner this one ends the better.

[horseymchorseface]

Now that is quite true. Good point, well made.

As a club Eastleigh have had their best days. Play off positions and cup runs being the highlight but the only day now is down and seasonal mid table mediocry at best. They haven’t got the squad, players, management or fan base to progress any higher. Donald is clearly getting tired of his experiment and won’t be around much longer. Advertising cheap tickets as great value isn’t true if the quality and experience is abject garbage. Many won’t be renewing and you can’t blame them. It just ain’t an enjoyable experience anymore.

‘Isn’t’

See ya then, pop in from time to time if you want tell us how your dog walks are going

[tenacres]

In a way it will be very frustrating if do we win well tomorrow against the probable champions. A real, what might have been - especially with playoff places down to 7th. Of course we haven't been good enough, by some way, to make the top 7.

On paper it looks like an away win, but its the final home game for us and hopefully the occasion will bring something to our game.

As for the crowd, I reckon 2100. I'll have a total guess at 400 from Macclesfield.

Please show our owner some respect horsey and call him by his proper name or is that how you teach your pupils to act.

[horseymchorseface]

Isn’t his surname Donald? Anyone who don’t know should technically be referred to in this way.,
