A six point gap and a higher goal difference with two games to go means it’s very unlikely Crawley can be caught now.

Just a point at home to struggling Walsall on Saturday will make us mathematically safe.

All the players played a blinder in the north east, and the relief and euphoria at full time between players and fans was there for all to see.

Two Hundred and fifty nine Reds fans made the journey up to County Durham.

Which was impressive considering the club didn’t even run a there and back supporters coach.

It was fantastic to see so many fans on the train up, and probably the fact most of us were drinking from 8am helped create an incredible atmosphere.

Probably one of the best in years.
