Mathematically Reds need 2 points to guarantee safety. Reds are at home. Visitors are bottom of the league and almost certain to go down. What could possibly go wrong? 
No time to reflect on Saturday's defeat at lowly Stafford Rangers. In consecutive matches, Reds take on a second team battling relegation over the Easter period. After this game, all four of our final opponents are in the top 8 and chasing play off berths. As such, today could be deemed as our most important match of the run in. A win and safety is guaranteed.
Reds are 15th with 41 points from 35 games
Atherton are 21st with 19 points from 34 games
Reds at home 7-6-4
Atherton away 2-3-12
Recent Atherton results:
30 March Atherton 1-2 Basford Utd
16 March Atherton 1-2 FCUM
12 March Bamber Bridge 3-1 Atherton
9 March Morpeth Town 2-1 Atherton
5 March Atherton 1-2 Guiseley
2 March Hyde Utd 3-2 Atherton
13 Feb Radcliffe 2-2 Atherton
10 Feb Atherton 0-1 Gainsborough
3 Feb Atherton 4-3 Morpeth Town
27 Jan Ashton Utd 4-3 Atherton
13 Jan Atherton 1-3 Matlock
1 Jan Lancaster 3-2 Atherton
Reds overall since 1 Jan 3-4-6
Atherton overall since 1 Jan 1-1-10
Atherton come to Borough Park having lost their last six matches. Their last point on the road was at Radcliffe where they were winning 0-2 until the 88th minute. Atherton have only tasted victory once in 2024, have the joint worst points collection record on the road of 9, and have the worst defence in the league conceding 84 times.
Atherton have only five matches in the league. Reds have won ten, seven of those being at home.
It would be good to head into the final four league fixtures with security confirmed.
Come on you Reds
