Fleet chairman Duncan Holt has
described Saturday’s visit of Luton as the club’s biggest game of
the season, on and off the pitch.
Luton have returned to form and are pushing for promotion back
to the Football League and early indications are that they could
bring up to 1,800 fans with them.
Members of MyFC have also targeted
the game as a members day with extra tickets snapped up, leading to
hopes of the season’s best crowd of more than 2,500.
Mr Holt (pictured) said: "Saturday
is a really important day for the club. It is fantastic that
they’ve won their last couple of games.
"We are over the moon because it
means the game will attract a few more of their fans now they are
back in the play-off fight.
"With due respect to Oxford, Luton
will be the biggest club we have faced and this will be our first
opportunity to face them, and they will be up for revenge of course
after we won there.
"Hopefully we can get some extra
faces along and try to outnumber them. That would be a fantastic
day for the club, especially with the money we are losing because
of losing the Chester home game."
Manager Liam Daish could get the
chance to bring in some defensive cover in the absence of Dean
Pooley (knee) and Clint Easton (face) for the foreseeable
future.
Mr Holt said: "There are a couple
of teams interested in a couple of our younger players. We might
release them to free-up some money for Liam to bring in some
experienced cover."
