"CHEER us into the Football League" is the message from the management and players at Accrington Stanley as they enter their final 11 Conference clashes.
The Reds sit pretty in second place in the league after a fantastic 4-1 win over league leaders Barnet on Saturday and a 1-1 draw against play-off challengers Halifax Town on Tuesday.
They have picked up 17 points out of the last 24 and are the form team in the league. Barnet are still leading the way by 12 points but Stanley are firmly in the hunt for a play-off spot.
But they are desperate for the backing of the Hyndburn public to help fulfil their dreams of a return to the Football League after they were forced to resign 43 years ago.
They haven't got a game this weekend because of Canvey Island's FA Trophy commitments but captain Peter Cavanagh admits they need to get the fans packed into the Interlink for the final push.
"They can make such a difference with the atmosphere, especially at home," said the former Liverpool trainee.
"They can make the Interlink a hostile place for away teams and a place where we can thrive and continue to get the wins we need to make it into the top five come the end of the season. There were 1,800 against Barnet and it made for a great atmosphere.
"It was disappointing that there were 400 less on Tuesday as it was a real six-pointer.
"The table is so close that every result is now crucial and it is important that people now come to the ground and back us all the way.
"I look around the dressing room at the squad and the quality we have here, and there is no reason why we can't make the play-offs.
"When I was at Liverpool, the coach Steve Heighway said good players come to the fore in February, March and April. He said that is when medals and trophies are won and that will prove the case again with the table being so tight.
"No one can predict what is going to happen with everyone playing each other in the league over the next few weeks but, if we carry on playing like we have recently and with a good crowd behind us week in week out, we all believe we will be there."
The table is still so tight with five points separating second placed Stanley from 11th placed Dagenham.
But goal machines Paul Mullin, Lee McEvilly and Ian Craney are now finding the back of the net in vital games - and long may it continue says Reds boss John Coleman.
"We will need them all to get goals between now and the end of the season - and hopefully the goals they get will win us the games and not just get us a draw as it did on Tuesday," said the Reds chief.
"But we can't be too critical as we have taken seven points from big games against Exeter, Barnet and Halifax.
"But what we have got to learn from the Halifax game is that when expectations are on us, we have got to start delivering."
Stanley made two new signings last week but both were unavailable for the Halifax clash although could feature on Monday night against Bamber Bridge in the LFA Marsden Trophy or a week on Saturday when Stanley begin their league assault again at home to Forest Green.
The Reds are still waiting for international clearance for Welsh winger Gary Roberts, 20, who has signed from Welshpool. He has signed on a non-contract basis with a view to a permament deal.
Meanwhile, Burnley's lively winger Matty O'Neill, from Accrington, was signed on a one month loan deal but has picked up an injury.
The deal to bring left sided defender Steve Burton to the Interlink from Kidderminster never came off despite his manager advising him to go.
