BASINGSTOKE Town manager Jason Bristow is hoping for a big home crowd to roar his team to play-off glory this weekend.
The first leg of their Vanarama Conference South play-off semi-final against Whitehawk took place in Sussex on Wednesday, with the game ending 1-1, and Bristow wants the backing of as many people as possible when his side take to the pitch for the return leg at The Soccer AM Stadium tomorrow (3pm).
"The support has been fantastic this season and the players really appreciate it," the Town boss said. "If we get a lot of supporters through the gate, it could really help the players and might give us that extra edge.
"The atmosphere was as good as I have known it here when we played in the play-offs a few years ago and it would be great to replicate that.
"The players deserve the reward of a good home crowd, having got to the play-offs, and hopefully it will be a celebration as well."
