Tiny ground Pete and apparently capacity is 3500, which takes a bit of believing.

Ground now holds 4500 with the new south stand in place. If we sell ours then I reckon it will be a complete sell out as they had 4000 there yesterday.

1-0 to eastleigh- hope im wrong! But i think we'll beat them at BP

2-1 Town

Job will be completed there as per the last visit, congratulations to them for making it this far but better luck to them for next season

One of our dull 1-0 wins will do nicely. Disley with the late goal

Impossible to guess a score line. Only prediction I will make is that it will be a very close nervous affair with both sides wanting to still be in the tie for the second leg with a realistic chance of winning. A 0-0 draw would be no suprise but there will be no gung ho approach from either side. Too much at stake. C'mon town .

Yeah I reckon 0-0.

2-0 Town with 850 Town fans in good voice.

Will our visit be their highest ever attendance then?  (Assuming it will be over 4,000).

Their record attendance is 4,136 set earlier this season against Macclesfield. New capacity after recent ground improvements is 5,192. Should be a reasonable chance of beating the current record, especially if Town fans sell our entire allocation.

1-0 town

I'm not predicting all I will say is that it'll be edgy, tight, tense and come down to 3 or 4 moments over the 2 games.

Eastleigh 1  Town  0

A win - no matter what would do nicely! 8)

I cannot see any nil nils in this. They concede a few but also score plenty. If we defend well I can see 2-0  or 3-1 win for us.

I'm getting nervous already... ffs... Tondeur will be consigned to the bin for these 2 games...

good ol' BT Sports..... there is certainly going to be some drinking goin on during the match....

3-1 to the Mariners

LJL, Disley, Arnold

1-1 Town fans settle for a decent result in the first leg away from home before winning 2-1 in front of a sold out Blundell park on sunday.

We have a troll among us, he/ she has put an X against any positive post on this thread,

Fear not, I have just evened it up,

There are some sad people about.

Any last minute predictions ?

Are we feeling confident ?

Get the ball down, keep the shape, don't get sucked into their histrionics ...........1 - 0 Town!

The Eastleigh manager was right. The pressure is on Town. All these years of disappointment now rest again on a few hours on the pitch. The manager has to take that pressure off the players so they can produce 3 performances at and above their level.

In the end, promotion will depend on attitudes more than ability. If the manager does a good job, we could more or less finish the semi tonight. If not we could be in a nail biter on Sunday.
