AFC FYLDE are just hours away from the biggest game in their history!
They take on New Mills in a mouth-watering title decider at Kellamergh Park on Saturday.
The two Vodkat Premier Division heavyweights will slug it out for the sole promotion spot in the winner-take-all clash.
New Mills sit top of the league with AFC Fylde in second.
Only a win will give AFC Fylde the title - and a step up to the Unibond League.
The winners will be presented with the league trophy on the day.
Manager Mick Fuller said: "It carries far more importance than the FA Vase final last May."
And he had this message: "We'll need everyone and everything to encourage our players on Saturday - you can be our 12th man on the day."
President David Haythornthwaite said: "This game is the biggest game since I got involved in theclub without a doubt.
The FA Vase was special but this would represent a fantastic achievement because it's been a long season over 42 games to win the ultimate prize of promotion."
Chairman Dai Davis said: "It's a huge game for the opportunity to host a game at Kellamergh Park in front of what we hope will be a big crowd and have a similar effect to what happened in the FA Vase final at Wembley a year ago this weekend."
Captain Dougie Shaw said: "It's a massive game for us.
"I'd ask the fans to get behind us in numbers but be patient on the day - it's 90 minutes and we are capable of winning this game at any time."
Fuller can select from a fully fit squad.
Kick off is 3pm.
The turnstiles open from 1pm with a marquee serving drinks.
There's a BBQ and children can have their faces painted in AFC Fylde colours.
