It is, given our recent run of bad form, quite amazing that we have dragged this automatic promotion malarkey out to the last match of the season.

Crewe win by a 95th minute penalty, Salford draw and Jatta fires the winner in the 115th minute.

I think if that were to happen several of us would have heart attacks.

Can you imagine Cambridge losing, Salford drawing and Notts losing 0-3.

Well yes, because it's Notts.

With incredible bad timing, I am flying out to the Czech Republic later today to run my 26th marathon in Prague on Sunday. You would think aged 70, I would know better.

I'd actually rather be at Meadow Lane of course for this vitally important match, just in case we actually did do it.

But being abroad, at least I will be able to watch it, even though it will be on a telephone.

There could be 16,000 there on Saturday.

I'm going for a 2-1 home win, more in hope than anything else.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRRR
