    Well you can get us 6-1 to win it so I wouldn’t say it’s total blind optimism, very unlikely yes, but not completely out the window.

    Nothing is marketed as completely out of the window, that's how they con people to work min wage jobs, because 1 in thousands climbed up the ladder and hey if you work hard enough you could too haha, offering hope is essential to keep the system working, because without it people would just give up.

    I’m pretty sure it’s gone but it won’t stop me monitoring their next 2 home games with the hope they just might slip up.
    That's where I'm at.

    I don't expect it, but I won't give up hope until there is no hope.

    Well for me if Wrexham lose Tuesday i might hope, a win for Wrexham Tuesday ends this nonsense
    And our real hope is 2 play off matches

    You honestly believe that tripe you've posted ?
    People are not coned into working min wages, they're there because they didn't work harder to raise their aspirations for a better job.

    A draw would be enough to keep the "hope alive". 2 things we do know are that Weevil desperately need points and that they certainly can defend. It's a long shot but not an impossibility.

    Haha yeah you mean university students with PhDs working on low paid jobs, or the people working in offices doing lots of overtime, only for the company to let go of them 18 months later. Work harder is the oldest trick and lie in the book, somehow if somebody is not successful, its always there fault they did not work hard enough, absolute bull. Most people who really made it big, were in the right place at the right time, and rich families, or incredible skill, nothing to do with hard work. Despite the bull the media promote of rags to riches, people that start at the bottom only 4% make it to the top.

    A draw would be a fantastic result but unlikely, I think the best hope is they don’t beat BW at home and can’t beat Torquay away.
