Salford City manager Karl Robinson has issued a plea to their supporters ahead of their crucial final game of the season.
The Ammies are potentially one game away from promotion to League One as they travel to Crawley Town on the final day.
Salford are currently 4th, just a point off Cambridge United, who occupy the final automatic promotion spot and travel to Crewe Alexandra.
Notts County are also in with a chance of finishing third and are just a point behind Salford and two off Cambridge.
Ahead of the game, Salford boss Robinson had issued a plea to his club’s supporters.
“One last time we have to come together”
Speaking to the club’s website, Robinson had a simple message for their fans:
“One last time we have to come together, to believe, to hope, and to achieve something that we will be very proud of. One last game, one last push, one last time to be the best version of Salford City.”
He also shared his thoughts on what has been a memorable season for the club:
“It has been an unbelievable League Two season, with really good teams. It has been long, some cold, wet nights, some disappointment, and a lot of celebration behind the scenes. There’s been the fourth round of the FA Cup, record attendances, a record amount of wins, and a record amount of points.”
What Do Salford City Need to Happen to Go Up?
Their route to automatic promotion is clear. First, they must beat Crawley. A draw won’t be enough, even if Cambridge and Notts County lose, because Cambridge’s goal difference is far superior.
As well as making sure they win, they need Cambridge to either draw or lose. If that happens, they will be at least one point clear and playing in the third tier next season.
Will Salford Get Promoted?
The odds are really stacked against the Ammies going up.
Opta’s Supercomputer has predicted that it will be Cambridge that claims the final automatic promotion spot and has given them a 65.08% chance of going up.
Salford, on the other hand, have a 25.46% chance of going up via the top three.
It appears as though Salford are set to battle it out in the League Two play-offs.
