Scarborough Athletic can secure a promotion play off place if they can pick up a point from their final league game of the season.
Boro play Radcliffe at the Flamingo Land stadium at 3 o'clock on Saturday knowing that they have already secured their highest ever league finish and knowing that a draw would be enough to see them in the promotion play-offs.
Chairman Trevor Bull told Scarborough Athletic TV he is excited ahead of the game.
Despite the fact that Scarborough only need a draw to secure the play off spot, Boro boss - Jono Greening - told Scarborough Athletic TV the team are looking for a win.
A win against Radcliffe could ensure a home tie in the play off semi finals. The teams that finish second and third in the table secure the home advantage. South Shields have already secured the second place spot, Warrington currently sit in third place - level on points with Boro but ahead on goal difference.
