BRADFORD City fans could find themselves in the highly unusual position of being desperate for a Town victory on the final day of the League I season a week tomorrow.
And that's a best-case scenario!
After tonight's trip to Northampton, Town's only remaining game is at home to Leyton Orient.
And the East Londoners are one of four clubs the Bantams, who are battling relegation, could conceivably climb above.
Brighton, Bournemouth and Cheltenham are the others, with much depending on tomorrow's results.
Bradford, the current occupants of the fourth and final relegation berth and four points adrift of safety with only two games to go, head for Chesterfield, who are a place and two points below them.
Only a win will be good enough for Chesterfield, while a draw would mean Bradford at least retained a hope of escape - as long as Cheltenham are beaten at Rotherham, who along with Brentford, are already down.
As well as seeing their own side win at Saltergate, Bantams fans will be desperate for Brighton to slump at home to Oldham, Orient to go down at home to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth to be beaten by visitors Gillingham.
Town supporters have had bragging rights over their arch-rivals from Valley Parade this season, with a 1-0 away win for Peter Jackson's side in October being followed by a 2-0 Galpharm success in March, just four days after the former manager departed.
And while some will take delight in any demise of the Bantams, others would be sorry to lose the derby from the fixture schedule.
Bradford suffered a big setback when they lost 2-0 at home to Orient last Saturday.
And caretaker manager David Wetherall, whose side host Millwall on the last day, is still trying to work out how they slipped up.
"It's just so frustrating that we seem to keep finding different ways to lose games," he said.
"Again, we've done enough to win, in fact we did enough to win two games in the first half alone."
Meanwhile chairman Julian Rhodes has reacted with fury to "scandalous" claims that Bradford would be forced back into administration if they go down.
"It's utter rubbish," he said. "The stories are so far wide of the mark it's untrue. I'm furious at these suggestions and the figures have just been made up."
Former Town midfielder Lee Richardson has been made Chesterfield manager on a permanent basis.
Roy McFarland's right-hand man had been in charge as caretaker since the ex-Derby star parted company with the Spireites in March.
Chairman Barrie Hubbard said: "Our requirement is for a young ambitious manager with fresh ideas and new thinking.
"Lee matches these credentials and we hope everyone will give him the chance to succeed."
Richardson said: "I'm delighted to become manager of a club I love. I can help take Chesterfield forward."
