22 April 2006

Result! Town's hard-earned win at home to Cheltenham last night proves enough to propel the club back into the automatic promotion places for more than a few hours as Leyton Orient stutter to a 1-1 draw at Lincoln this afternoon. The Mariners' final-day opponents Northampton restore their three-point advantage in second place with an easily anticipated win at Oxford (easily anticipated by the Diary, at any rate, who has thus coined it in from the bookies), but the Imps' favour keeps the Os in fourth, a point below Town, who asyouprobablyknowbynow eked out maximum points on Friday evening with Gary Jones' 14th goal of the season. It's a non-stop, long-playing, right-to-the-wire, squeaky-knuckle, white-bum fight to the death, so take out your calculators and set the controls for either Crewe or Accrington.
